The study analyses the current situation of children with disabilities in relation to realizing their rights and accessing basic services, as well as their life experiences in their communities. It also focuses on identifying the barriers created by society that prevent children with disabilities fr...om enjoying their human rights. This includes identifying negative attitudes; environmental and communication barriers; gaps in policies or their effective implementation.
The report reveals that children with disabilities in Myanmar are less likely to access services in health or education; rarely have their voices heard in society; and face daily discrimination as objects of pity. It also highlights how inadequate policies and legislation contribute to the challenges these children face.
The information available in this publication should be useful for policy makers, development partners and Disabled Persons Organisations to promote the realization of the rights of all children with disabilities.

Dérivant du grec τραῦμα signifiant « blessure », le mot « traumatisme »
a été utilisé durant des siècles comme un terme médical désignant « une blessure
des tissus vivants causée par un agent externe.» Ainsi, ce n’est qu’en 1889, lorsque
Oppenheim fit la première descrip...tion clinique des « névroses traumatiques »
chez des victimes d’accidents de chemin de fer, que le terme pris également une
acceptation psychologique.

Cette mission menée conjointement par la représentante du Ministère de la Santé en charge du projet, la
responsable EVIPNet de l’OMS à Genève et le directeur de la fondation Winds of Hope visait à établir le lien entre
le Ministère de la Santé et les différentes parties prenantes du B...urkina Faso en charge de la prévention et de
prise en charge du noma, notamment les ONG : Sentinelles, Persis et Hymne aux Enfants. En effet, le Ministère
de la Santé du Burkina Faso a décidé d’écrire une note de politique (policy brief) sur cette maladie négligée non
transmissible qu’est le noma pour provoquer un dialogue politique (forum délibératif) devant déboucher sur des
actions politiques concrètes. Cette maladie, symbole des ravages de l’extrême pauvreté, affecte les zones les
plus isolées et pauvres du Burkina Faso. Cette initiative du Ministère de la Santé du Burkina Faso qui a acquis
maintenant une grande expérience dans l’écriture de notes de politique et dans l’organisation de dialogues
politiques est une démarche concrète et significative pour adresser les inégalités sociales et l’extrême pauvreté.

Interim practical manual supporting implementation of the WHO guidelines on core components of infection prevention and control programmes
This study addresses part of the Terms of Reference for a scoping report ‘An analysis of approaches to laboratory capacity strengthening for drug resistant infections in low and middle income countries’. It has been produced as a separate report because it is also very relevant for a second stud...y ‘Supporting Surveillance Capacity for Antimicrobial Resistance: Regional Networks and Educational Resources’. This study compares antimicrobial surveillance systems in three low and middle income countries in order to describe the components of these systems and to understand which surveillance models are best suited to particular contexts. Ghana, Nigeria and Nepal were selected as study countries because they cover different continents and include one ‘fragile’ context (Nigeria). Brief information from Malawi is also included.

Dengue is the world’s most important arboviral disease in terms of number of people affected. Over the past 50 years, incidence increased 30-fold: there were approximately 390 million infections in 2010. Globalization, trade, travel,... demographic trends, and warming temperatures are associated with the recent spread of the primary vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus and of dengue. Overall, models project that new geographic areas along the fringe of current geographic ranges for Aedes will become environmentally suitable for the mosquito’s lifecycle, and for dengue transmission. Many endemic countries where dengue is likely to spread further have underdeveloped health systems, increasing the substantial challenges of disease prevention and control. Control focuses on management of Aedes, although these efforts have typically had limited effectiveness in preventing outbreaks. New prevention and control efforts are needed to counter the potential consequences of climate change on the geographic range and incidence of dengue, including novel methods of vector control and dengue vaccines.
