Facilitating participatory processes for policy change in natural resource management : Lessons from the highlands of southwestern Uganda por Sanginga, Pascal C., Kamugisha, R.N., Martin, A, Kahuru, A, Stroud, Ann

“…Despite the recognition that policy processes are important for sustainable natural resources management (NRM), there is concern that agricultural research and technology development have not been reflected in policy change, nor have they affected decision-making processes of wider communities. Most policy research focuses on policy analysis, often at the macro, national level, ignoring the much more difficult and rather murkier part on how to get policies implemented and adopted by users; and how to get the intended beneficiaries, small-scale resource poor farmers, to influence policies in NRM. …”

Laboratory validation of a resource quality-based conceptual framework for organic matter management por Vanlauwe, Bernard, Gachengo, CN, Shepherd, Keith D., Barrios, E., Cadisch, Georg, Palm, Cheryl A.

“…Organic resources (ORs) are essential inputs in tropical farming systems and their decomposition dynamics are related to their quality. A Decision Support System (DSS) for organic N management has been proposed earlier that subdivides ORs in four classes depending on their N, lignin, and soluble polyphenol contents. …”

Healthy lives: Tackling food-borne diseases and zoonoses por Grace, Delia, Roesel, Kristina, Bett, Bernard K., Unger, Fred

“…During the period of increasing focus on the human health implications of smallholder livestock production, some major research achievements were made, including: the first pro-poor ranking of zoonoses research priorities; reliable assessments of milk safety in Kenya’s informal markets; use of participatory disease surveillance methods for avian influenza; applications of risk-based approaches to food safety in informal markets; development of new diagnostic tests for pig tapeworm; a global mapping of poverty and zoonoses; and deployment of a decision-support tool for control of Rift Valley fever. …”

Increasing influence of heat stress on French maize yields from the 1960s to the 2030s por Hawkins, E., Ho CK, Osborne, Tom M., Fricker TE, Ferro CAT, Challinor, Andrew J.

“…Here, we explore how to combine historical observations of crop yields and weather with climate model simulations to produce crop yield projections for decision relevant timescales. Firstly, the effects on historical crop yields of improved technology, precipitation and daily maximum temperatures are modelled empirically, accounting for a nonlinear technology trend and interactions between temperature and precipitation, and applied specifically for a case study of maize in France. …”

Analysis of risk factors for T. brucei rhodesiense sleeping sickness within villages in south-east Uganda por Zoller, T., Fèvre, Eric M., Welburn, S.C., Odiit, M., Coleman, P.G.

“…The novel method of analysing complex spatial interactions used in the study can be applied to a range of other diseases.Spatial risk factors for HAT are maintained across geographical scales; this consistency is useful in the design of decision support tools for intervention and prevention of the disease. …”

The epidemiology of animal bite injuries in Uganda and projections of the burden of rabies por Fèvre, Eric M., Kaboyo, R.W., Persson, V., Edelsten, M., Coleman, P.G., Cleaveland, S.

“…We aimed at describing the profile of patients presenting to health centres with animal bite injuries in Uganda, and use a predictive model to estimate the mortality of rabies at a national level.Methods  We conducted a passive surveillance study in Uganda based in a random sample of health centres supplied with rabies vaccine to determine the characteristics of bite injury patients and establish the age and sex profiles of patients, the site of bites and their severity, wound management techniques and details of the vaccination course given. We also applied a decision tree model to the data to estimate the rabies mortality from the bite injury data using an established protocol.Results  We found that most patients are bitten by dogs, and that a considerable proportion of these are young children, who are at greater risk of developing rabies in the absence of treatment due to the location of the bites they receive. …”

Can government-allocated land contribute to food security? Intrahousehold analysis of West Bengal’s Microplot allocation program por Santos, Florence, Fletschner, Diana, Savath, Vivien, Peterman, Amber

“…Although we were unable to detect statistically significant program effects on current house hold food security, we find that the land-allocation and registration program has had an impact on a range of outcomes that are expected to lead to future food security: beneficiary households report stronger security, and they are more likely to take loans for agricultural purposes, to invest in agricultural improvements, and to involve women when making decisions related to food and agriculture. These effects vary with plot size—larger plots lead to larger benefits —and depend on whose names are included on the land documents; the effects are larger if women’s names are recorded on the land titles.…”

Experiences and lessons learnt from supporting waste sector development in the Philippines por Paul, Johannes G., Acosta, V.L., Lange, U.

“…Although RA 9003 mandates a waste diversion rate of at least 25 % to be realized by municipalities in 2006, most of them fail to implement the waste legislation properly mainly due to budget limitations, lack of know-how and conflicting interests that delay priority setting and political decision-making. In this context, the Philippine government entered into a bilateral official development program with the German government provided through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ) through its development program Solid Waste Management for Local Government Units (SWM4LGUs) during the time period 2005-2012. …”
