  • Religion Networks and Hiv/Aids in Rural Malawi
    RELIGION NETWORKS AND HIV/AIDS IN RURAL MALAWI DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University By jimi adams * * * * * Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Kazimierz M. Slomczynski, Advisor Professor James W. Moody, Outside Member _______________________ Professor Korie Edwards Advisor Sociology Graduate Program Professor Steven H. Lopez Copyright by jimi adams 2007 ABSTRACT Sub-Saharan Africa’s residents represent approximately two-thirds of the nearly 40 million global HIV/AIDS cases, while comprising only about one-tenth of the world’s population. In the rural settings where most inhabitants of SSA live, religious organizations are the only formal organizations present, and virtually all residents of SSA participate in a religious organization. Many have theorized a relationship between religion and HIV/AIDS, suggesting alternately its helpful and harmful potential in this crisis. The existing research conceptualizes religion, HIV risk and the connection between them by studying individuals, organizations, or aggregations of individuals and organizations. In this dissertation, I demonstrate the adjustments a network perspective contributes to researchers’ ability to understand religious organizational responses to this epidemic, the nature of HIV-risk and, perhaps most importantly, how these are linked. The resulting conceptualization suggests some of the first mechanisms that demonstrate how

  • 1. Introduction 1. Malawi: a Multi-Ethnic Nation
    From: Dr. Willie Zeze RE: Abstract Submission – 2015 Religious Freedom and Religious Pluralism in Africa: Prospects and Limitations Conference DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTION AND ETHNIC ORGANIZATIONS IN MALAWI - PRESERVING GOOD TRADITIONAL PRACTICES OR PROMOTING NEPOTISM AND TRIBALISM? Abstract Due to the advent of the 1994 democratic constitution particularly its enactment on Protection of human rights and freedoms: Culture and language, Freedom of association, Religion and beliefs, Freedom of assembly and Political rights, Malawi has witnessed mushrooming of tribal organizations, aiming at preserving the traditional African religious beliefs and African cultural traditions. The Chewa Heritage Foundation (Chefo) and the Muhlakho wa Alhomwe (MWA) among the Chewa and Lhomwe tribes respectively are among well-known ethnic organizations through which the traditional beliefs, cultural traditions and religions are enjoying a significant respect from members of mentioned-tribes. The democratic constitution has cleared a road for the establishment of these ethnic organizations. However, it seems activities of Chefo and MWA are inter alia promoting tribalism and nepotism, in addition to being used as campaign tools for some political parties. This article intends to assess and evaluate the role and the impact of the Chefo and MWA on preservation of good cultural practices and constitutional democracy in Malawi. The hypothesis is, in spite of preserving cultural practices as guaranteed in constitution, the tribal organizations need to be watchful so that they should not promote tribalism, nepotism and being used as campaign tools by Malawian politicians. 1. Introduction In order to appreciate how in their understanding the Democratic Constitution the Chewa Heritage Foundation and Mulhako wa Alhomwe in Malawi, revitalize, preserved and protect customs, values, beliefs and traditional practices it is necessary to understand a social- political history of Malawi.

  • Nitrogen Budgets in Legume Based Cropping Systems in Northern Malawi
    NITROGEN BUDGETS IN LEGUME BASED CROPPING SYSTEMS IN NORTHERN MALAWI By Wezi Grace Mhango A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Crop and Soil Sciences 2011 ABSTRACT NITROGEN BUDGETS IN LEGUME BASED CROPPING SYSTEMS IN NORTHERN MALAWI By Wezi G. Mhango Smallholder farmers in sub Saharan Africa (SSA) operate in a risky environment characterized by low soil fertility, unpredictable weather and markets. Identification of technologies that optimize crop yields in a variable climate, while building soil fertility, can contribute to sustainable cropping systems. Participatory on-farm trials were conducted in Ekwendeni of northern Malawi to evaluate performance and yield of legume diversified cropping systems. Prior to implementation of trials, household and farm field surveys were conducted to characterize cropping systems and soils. Soil fertility among farms was highly variable and -1 largely coarse textured with very low organic matter (12±3.7 g kg ). There was no evidence of cropping systems effect on nutrient levels except for inorganic P which was lower in legume diversified fields than in maize fields. A survey showed that farmers valued a wide range of legume traits that included food, yield, maturity period, post harvest handling, soil fertility, market potential and pest resistance. On-farm trials evaluated maize-based cropping with a range of legume growth types and planting arrangements (groundnut representing an annual grain legume and pigeonpea representing a semi-perennial grain legume, planted as sole and intercrop systems rotated with maize). The trials were conducted over two years and showed that interspecific competition, inorganic P and plant density markedly influenced crop growth and biological nitrogen fixation (BNF).

  • Malawi Country Operational Plan 2017 Strategic Direction Summary
    Malawi Country Operational Plan 2017 Strategic Direction Summary April 26, 2017 1 1.0 Goal Statement While there has been significant progress in the fight against HIV, Malawi still has 980,000 people living with HIV (PLHIV), including 350,000 undiagnosed. The Malawi Population-Based HIV Impact Assessment (MPHIA) showed significant progress toward the globally endorsed targets of 90-90-90. The number of new adult infections each year continues to decline (28,000/year in 2016), coinciding with an increase in ART coverage. With the number of annual HIV-related deaths reduced to 27,000/year in 2016, Malawi continues making progress toward epidemic control. However, MPHIA also highlights a disproportionately high HIV incidence among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) with point estimates for HIV incidence 8 times higher among females aged 15-24 than males. Therefore, the overarching goal of COP17 is to interrupt HIV transmission by reducing incidence among AGYW through testing and treatment of potential sexual partners (men 15-40) and primary prevention (e.g., expansion of DREAMS and AGYW targeted interventions), thereby interrupting the lifecycle of HIV transmission and accelerating progress to epidemic control. The 1st 90 remains the greatest challenge and requires a number of key strategy shifts: Targeting testing and treatment strategies: Increased focus on targeting men and youth with the most efficient testing modalities (e.g., index case testing) and treatment strategies (e.g., same-day ART initiation) to achieve saturation across all age and gender bands in scale-up districts by the end of FY18. Increasing focus in five “acceleration” districts: Per the MPHIA, the epidemic is most intense in population-dense regions of Southern Malawi, especially Blantyre; therefore, PEPFAR will focus on Blantyre and four other high burden, scale up districts (deemed “acceleration” districts) that include 70% of the national gap to saturation.

  • INTERDENOMINATIONAL AITH Kampala, Uganda, and He Received Doctor's Degrees from Dar-Es-Salaam and Heidelberg Universities
    Klaus Fiedler, born 1942 in Germany, is a missiologist and mission historian connecting the conntinents of Europe and Africa. He studied initially at the Baptist Seminary in Hamburg, but received his most formative F education at Makerere University in INTERDENOMINATIONAL AITH Kampala, Uganda, and he received Doctor's degrees from Dar-es-Salaam and Heidelberg Universities. He served for seven years as a missionary with the Kanisa la Biblia in South Tanzania, then 16 years in AITH ISSIONS M F M Germany as pastor, teacher and editor. In 1992 he started teaching at the University of Malawi in Zomba, since 2008 he is Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at Mzuzu ISSIONS IN FRICA University and Postgraduate Coordinator. A It is not the European and American churches that evangelized Africa, but the mission societies. The missions from the Great Awakening like London Missionary Society and Church Missionary Society, or the Holy Ghost Fathers and the White Fathers, which started the process of Sub-Saharan Africa becoming a Christian continent, are well known and their work is better documented. Less known and less documented are the interdenominational faith missions, beginning in 1873, aiming to reach the still unreached areas of Africa: North K Africa, the Sudan Belt and the Congo Basin. So there were LAUS missions like Africa Inland Mission or Sudan Interior Mission, which gave birth to some of the big churches like ECWA in F Nigeria and Africa Inland Church in Kenya.
