Implementation Strategies to Increase Access and Demand of Long-Lasting
Arroz et al. Malar J (2017) 16:429 DOI 10.1186/s12936-017-2086-3 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Implementation strategies to increase access and demand of long‑lasting insecticidal nets: a before‑and‑after study and scale‑up process in Mozambique Jorge A. H. Arroz1*, Chandana Mendis1, Liliana Pinto1, Baltazar Candrinho2, João Pinto3 and Maria do Rosário O. Martins3 Abstract Background: The universal coverage bed nets campaign is a proven health intervention promoting increased access, ownership, and use of bed nets to reduce malaria burden. This article describes the intervention and imple- mentation strategies that Mozambique carried out recently in order to improve access and increase demand for long- lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). Methods: A before-and-after study with a control group was used during Stage I of the implementation process. The following strategies were tested in Stage I: (1) use of coupons during household registration; (2) use of stickers to identify the registered households; (3) new LLIN ascription formula (one LLIN for every two people). In Stage II, the following additional strategies were implemented: (4) mapping and micro-planning; (5) training; and (6) supervision. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confdence interval (CI) were used to compare and establish diferences between intervened and control districts in Stage I. Main outcomes were: percentage of LLINs distributed, percentage of target house- holds benefted. Results: In Stage I, 87.8% (302,648) of planned LLINs were distributed in the intervention districts compared to 77.1% (219,613) in the control districts [OR: 2.14 (95% CI 2.11–2.16)]. -
From Hunger to Food Insecurity
From hunger 13. to food insecurity: technocracy and sustainability Virgínia Henriques Calado 318 the diverse worlds of sustainability introduction This paper is an anthropological contribution to a theoretical, conceptual, and methodological discussion of the concepts of food (in)security. The decision to focus on these concepts is related to their relationship with sustainability issues and also to the fact that they are of fundamental importance in the evaluation of the nutritional status and food situation of different individuals and populations. The fact that the notions of food (in)security are at present indispensable to conduct research on issues such as adequate food, satisfaction, or deprivation of food, also justifies the attention devoted to it in this text. Moreover, the circumstance that the concepts of food (in)security give rise to relevant studies, arguments, and narratives that are used by different actors (intergovernmental structures, governments, industry, farmers, popula tions…), for purposes not always convergent, is another reason to pay attention to this topic. Taking also into account that food (in)security assessments mostly produced by experts are at the origin of programmes and measures through which public policies are implemented, the attention to these concepts is justified even more. Key concepts in the construction of discourses on food scarcity, production, and quality, which are drawn up by the United Nations, states, and other actors, are appropriated by different entities and can be used in different ways. They may appear, for example, to support political positions about forms of agriculture that are mainly focused on the quantity of foods produced and on intensive and extensive forms of agricultural production than on the protection of small farmers. -

Education Language Policy in Mozambique: a Critical View
International Journal of Humanities Social Sciences and Education (IJHSSE) Volume 4, Issue 5, May 2017, PP 12-21 ISSN 2349-0373 (Print) & ISSN 2349-0381 (Online) http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2349-0381.0405002 www.arcjournals.org Education Language Policy in Mozambique: A Critical View Mira de Jesus Varela Canhanga, BEd Pedagogic University, Gaza, Mozambique Dr. Martin Banda, PhD Department of Educational Psychology and Sociology Kwame Nkrumah University, P.O. Box 80404, Kabwe-Zambia Abstract: The article evaluates the current language policy adopted by the Mozambican government as stated in the Constitution of the Republic of Mozambique and in the article 4 of decree 6/92 on the National Education System. We are of the opinion that coming up with the most suitable language policy is a key element in national building and particularly in the individual citizens’ welfare. Thus, we argue that the analysis of the current language policy is of paramount importance. The study shades light to the government officials, the Ministry of Education officials, teachers, students and all education stakeholders at large in the implication of the current Education language policy for Mozambique. Keywords: The concept language policy; language policy; Bilingual Education; Model and Programmes; the Relevance of a Bilingual Education; the Model of Bilingual Education; An Ideal Education Language Policy. 1. BACKGROUND Due to the nomadic life, and later on with the advancement in the field of navigation as well as trade, people‟s geographical and social mobility increased as compared to the motion in the early civilizations. These led to not only a wider interaction between different languages but also to the emergence of new ones. -
ICT in Education in Mozambique
SURVEY OF ICT AND EDUCATION IN AFRICA: Mozambique Country Report ICT in Education in Mozambique by Shafika Isaacs April 2007 Source: World Fact Book1 Please note: This short Country Report, a result of a larger infoDev-supported Survey of ICT in Education in Africa, provides a general overview of current activities and issues related to ICT use in education in the country. The data presented here should be regarded as illustrative rather than exhaustive. ICT use in education is at a particularly dynamic stage in Africa; new developments and announcements happening on a daily basis somewhere on the continent. Therefore, these reports should be seen as “snapshots” that were current at the time they were taken; it is expected that certain facts and figures presented may become dated very quickly. The findings, interpretations and conclusions expressed herein are entirely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the view of infoDev, the Donors of infoDev, the World Bank and its affiliated organizations, the Board of Executive Directors of the World Bank or the governments they represent.

International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology (IJEDICT), 2019, Vol. 15, Issue 2, pp. 79-97 Teachers´ perspectives on professional development in the use of SCL approaches and ICT: A quantitative case study of Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique Xavier Justino Muianga, Sirkku Männikkö Barbutiu and Henrik Hansson Stockholm University, Sweden Inocente Vasco Mutimucuio Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique ABSTRACT Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) has carried out curricular reform since 2000 to introduce Student Centered Learning (SCL) as well as the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). To meet the demands of this reform, UEM has introduced professional development training for teachers. The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model was used as a theoretical framework to design the training and to evaluate how, if at all, professional development training has changed pedagogical practice. This quantitative study has its focus on teachers who followed the training over a period of 3 years. 147 teachers returned a questionnaire, from which 92 who used SCL and ICT for teaching and learning purposes - were selected for this study. Results indicate that professional development has an impact on teachers' beliefs and practices. It supports the shift from traditional teacher-centered instruction to SCL. Teachers who attended the training are more likely to use ICT and SCL, having changed their perception of the impact of professional development on their -
