In Eastern and Southern Africa, for example, an abundance of natural resources is fuelling economic gains. Nevertheless, many countries on the continent continue to lag in terms of social development: one-third of the world’s poorest people live in sub-Saharan Africa; seventy per cent of them live in rural areas and depend on subsistence agriculture for food and livelihood. Human-induced degradation of natural resources in Eastern and Southern Africa is progressing and is intimately linked to the continuing impoverishment of large swathes of the rural population. Many development programmes addressing these problems are still mainly oriented towards sectoral approaches. Little effort is devoted to understanding or addressing complex degradation processes and other development challenges, even though this represents a precondition for comprehensive mitigation strategies. In the 1980s and 90s, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the University of Bern’s Centre for Development and Environment (CDE) collaborated to meet this challenge: CDE carried out three major SDC mandates in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Madagascar, focusing on partnership-based research and transfer of research findings into reality. In the process, CDE obtained significant expertise in sustainable land management and sustainable regional development, built a large information base, and set up reliable institutional networks. This capi- tal laid the foundation for the Eastern and Southern Africa Partnership Programme (ESAPP), a programme SDC commissioned from CDE in 1999. One of the main lessons learned from the three mandates was the need to combine requirement- driven conceptual reflections with local demand-driven development initiatives to find sustainable solutions. This insight directly shaped ESAPP’s resulting structure and approach. ESAPP pursued a dual approach combining a concept-driven basic mandate with demand-driven priority action projects. The former defines the programme’s strat- egy and ensures that projects fit in a regional development landscape populated by pre-existing initiatives. The latter flexibly responds to development requests from partners and stakeholders, often bringing together proven approaches and exper- imental designs. Thanks to this approach, ESAPP rapidly evolved into an efficient and focused programme. Out of a broad range of partnerships between CDE and partners in six countries in Eastern and Southern Africa (Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Madagascar), more than 300 sub-projects emerged. Research communities are often accused of occupying ivory towers. This never applied to ESAPP; moving results from the “laboratory” to the farm was a constant preoccupation. Project ideas were developed bottom-up, translated into relevant research questions geared towards identification and evaluation of potential solu- tions, and operationalized as practice-oriented actions. Project elaboration took place in research partnerships between institutions in the South and the North. The partnerships mutually enhanced the cooperating institutions’ capacities, help- ing provide innovative answers to core challenges facing Eastern and Southern Africa. 5 Eastern and Southern Africa Partnership Programme: Highlights from 15 Years of Joint Action for Sustainable Development The present publication consists of five sections: 1. Sustainable land management: This section addresses locally developed solutions and technologies and their transfer into practice in the areas of soil protection, water, and biodiversity. Among the highlights presented, “Saving Ethiopia’s soils” focuses on a key problem in Eastern Africa: soil degradation. It reduces the capacity of ecosystems to regenerate and sustain human needs; it also harms local communities’ food security and resilience against short- and long-term climatic variability. ESAPP’s integrative approach helped to improve uptake of soil conservation measures by local communities. Another highlight, “The ngolo farming technology”, shows how a traditional conservation farm- ing technology, which was used successfully in southern Tanzania but remained unknown elsewhere, was effectively transferred to other affected regions in Tanzania and Kenya. 2. Sustainable regional development: Traditional and indigenous knowledge is neglected all too often, and national legislation often fails to address regu- lation of resource use at the local level; these gaps are leading to unfavourable conditions for local producers, especially in marginalized areas. ESAPP helped improve the reliability of legal frameworks and value chains for local products by supporting the formulation of clear acts, laws, and certification as well as by facilitating consultation with local communities and stakeholders during these processes. The highlight “Policies and value chains for local products” portrays a series of ESAPP projects that succeeded in improving market access and reliability on behalf of gum arabic, frankincense, and camel milk. 3. Knowledge: When adapting to and exploiting new opportunities, people’s knowledge and social capital are decisive. Rural populations – especially in remote areas – and low-income urban groups are often marginalized due to lack of access to timely and reliable information. As a result, they remain in a weak position in critical negotiations, for example, over infrastructure devel- opment. The highlight “Nakuru local urban observatory” describes a project in which community members and local authorities collaborated to identify the most urgent needs for information

A major barrier is vaccine hesitancy; the refusal or delay of accepting vaccination. This study evaluated the level and determinants of vaccine hesitancy in Kenya. We conducted a cross-sectional study administered through a phone-based survey in February 2021 in four counties of Kenya. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify individual perceived risks and influences, context-specific factors, and vaccine-specific issues associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Kenya was high: 60.1%. Factors associated with vaccine hesitancy included: older age, lower education level, perceived difficulty in adhering to government regulations on COVID-19 prevention, less adherence to wearing of face masks, not having ever been tested for COVID-19, no reported socio- economic loss as a result of COVID public-health restriction measures, and concerns regarding vaccine safety and effectiveness.
