Women Transforming Health Around the world, women participate in designing, researching and developing tools and approaches to address evolving health challenges. In honor of Women’s History Month, we are highlighting stories that showcase what happens when women are empowered to play an active role in the health sector, transforming the lives of people in their communities and beyond. How Building a Stronger HIV/AIDS Health Workforce Is Impacting Malawian Women The HRH2030 program, funded by USAID through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), is strengthening the health workforce in Malawi, where HIV is pervasive. By training female health workers, HRH2030 empowers women and reduces HIV acquisition. Read about the women who are transforming Malawi’s health workforce. Community Health Worker Fatima Kahdem Brings Tuberculosis Services to People’s Doorsteps In Afghanistan, USAID supports a community-based approach to bring tuberculosis (TB) services to people’s doorsteps. The Challenge TB project provides the country with technical support on topics related to TB. This support has empowered female community health workers to transform the health of their community. Read Fatima’s story. Global Health Grand Challenges Support Women Innovators Through Global Health Grand Challenges, USAID supports innovators who are tackling some of the most pressing health challenges. Discover how these women innovators developed unique and impactful solutions. For These Women, Survival Is Just the Start We are at a historic point in global efforts to address fistula.

Learn About Change Management Skills May 7 @ 8:00 Am - May 11 @ 5:00 Pm $1100 Venue: Indepth Research Services, Nairobi, Kenya. While many people find it difficult to deal with change in the workplace, the concept of continuous improvement should be embraced and used for the growth of any organisation. And continuous improvement almost always requires some form of change to systems, processes, etc. An organisation that plans and prepares for change is better able to overcome these challenges and implement improvements as required. Internal changes should be implemented after the creation of the new strategy or system; however most organisations and/or employees are not prepared for internal changes to policies or external strategies. Hence the requirement for change management training is commonplace in most industries. The Change Management Training Course provides participants with training and development in each step of the change process including the planning and preparation stages and the communication and implementation stages. Being prepared for the changes allows your organisation to grow steadily in spite of the potential pushback by staff. If everyone is included in the change process, the staff will experience much less frustration, stress, attrition, etc. For more information, see https://pcdnetwork.org/event/learn-about-change- management-skills/ Learn More Advanced aspects of financial Management!

The patient, a heterosexual UK man who had a sexual partner in Southeast Asia, is being monitored by UK public health officials after the go-to treatment of azithromycin and ceftriaxone failed to nix the infection. The Neisseria gonorrhea strain is quick to mutate and develop resistance to drugs. The WHO warned in 2017 that without a fresh line of antibiotics, treatment failures would rise as gonorrhea strains increasingly work around existing drugs.

The giant country is 1 of 4 WHO producers of the vaccine, but specialists are concerned that Brazil may not be able to produce enough vaccines, and have criticized officials' ham-fisted response to last year’s outbreak. In Rio de Janeiro last March authorities pledged to vaccinate 90% of the state by year’s end; the campaign reached less than a third of the population, and deaths are on the rise.

The Guardian ALZHEIMER’S A Family Affair A strain of Alzheimer’s common in Colombia’s Antioquia region hits patients in their 40s and 50s. It now affects 25 extended families who have been heavily-researched for decades. Previously, scientists have focused on the role of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s onset. As questions arise about amyloids, researchers at the University of Antioquia in Medellín are tracking another protein, tau, which forms quickly alongside symptoms of Alzheimer’s. A pilot study of a Colombian family showed, for the first time, tau accumulating years before participants showed signs of the Antioquia mutation. It likely landed in Colombia centuries ago with the Spanish conquerors. Nature MALARIA Femme Fighters In celebration of Women’s History Month, Bill Brieger looks at powerful female figures in the fight against malaria. Exemplars include Nobel Prize-winning Tu Youyou of China, whose discovery of antimalarial artemisinin saved millions; and Maimouna Sanugo, whose leadership with the Africa Indoor Residual Spraying project in Mali helped protect over 850,000 people. Fostering the next generation of leaders is critical—“Science is still a challenging field for women to enter, and even more so in which to progress,” says emeritus professor Rose Leke of the University of Yaounde, lauded for founding the HIGHER Women Consortium in Cameroon to provide training and mentorship to young women researchers.

CONFLICT A South Sudan Success Story In late 2013, Médecins Sans Frontières successfully deployed a new WHO decision-making framework for assessing emergency humanitarian response. The framework—which prioritizes need in critical situations involving displaced persons—was implemented in South Sudan when thousands of people sought refuge from military conflict. Using the WHO’s suggested processes, MSF swiftly orchestrated health care, clean water access and vaccine campaigns (prioritized into outbreak prevention and childhood morbidity prevention). Although MSF wasn’t able to obtain Ministry of Health authorization to administer some priority vaccines, the framework helped avert preventable deaths among the displaced and, once adapted for field use, will be a notable tool in emergency situations. Conflict and Health POLICY The Anti-Regulation Regulator Scott Pruitt made his name “fighting one regulation after another,” writes Margaret Talbot. As head of the EPA, which he has sued 14 times, he’s no different. Pruitt courts the opinion of players in industries he regulates, particularly coal, rather than environmentalists and career EPA staffers. His stripped-down “E.P.A. originalism” favors old- school mandates over “newer and broader environmental threats.” A climate change skeptic, he has fought over 30 environmental regulations like Obama-era greenhouse gas and coal ash regulations. A polite trumpeter for Trump, Pruitt clearly has his eyes on the Attorney General’s office. At this rate, he just might get it, Talbot writes. The New Yorker OPIOID CRISIS AIDS Lessons for Opioids In western Europe opioid addiction is viewed “the way most Americans now look at AIDS — as a medical problem,” yet the US has been slow to act, writes Columbia University psychiatry professor Adam Bisaga. At 50,000 a year, US opioid overdose deaths are on par with the AIDS epidemic’s peak. This crisis requires the same long-term medical care, grassroots campaigns, and research funding that saw AIDS-related mortality drop by more than half in 2 years in the 1990s. Instead, medical treatments reach just 10-20% of US opioid patients. To defeat opioids, this treatment gap must be addressed as a medical problem, Bisaga writes. Salon 18

________Humanitarian Field Guide __________ “Change the World” It always struck me that saying that sounded a lot like grandiose hubris, or at best, a dauntingly overwhelming task. The utter impossibility of it seemed certain until I realized that it can mean helping one person at a time. That is a theme you’ll see throughout this book and our websites and our work. I have added some of my LinkedIn Influencer blogs/essays that I hope may be inspirational, also. The format of this book is inspired by Brian Eno’s A Year with Swollen Appendices, not so much the diary aspect but rather the overwhelmingly large collection of information in the various appendices. Open-Sourced Humanitarian Interventionism It’s long been my goal to make life easier for those working in humanitarian and volunteer endeavors, as well as those in need of help. Indeed, in one way or another, we all need help in one form or another. So, just about everything you find herein and on the Center’s website, is free of charge, and a lot you could also find for yourself. What I’ve tried to do is speed up the search, vet what has been found, and then curate the results, making them as readily and easily available as I know how to. This is my dream of open-sourcing humanitarian work. Current Content, For Pretty Close To Forever The reason for this “reverse engineering” is twofold. First, the amount of content and links on the Center’s website may not always be apparent to the novel user. This book allows for near complete exposure to the functional tools and content that await the online user. Second, this book will never be out-of-date, in that when new content becomes available via uploads to the DropBox account, you’ll be able to read that as well. All you have to do is email me and ask to be linked. I curate the content constantly. You can also request being added to our mailing list via my email address as well if you’d like to be kept up-to-date on events and other relevant content. All proceeds from sales of this book will be donated to the Center for Global Initiatives.
