Le Plan Stratégique Multisectoriel d’Élimination du Choléra en République Démocratique du Congo (2013-2017) vise à réduire l’incidence du choléra à moins d’un cas pour 100 000 habitants. Ce plan repose sur une approche multisectorielle, combinant santé, eau, hygiène et assainissemen...t pour enrayer la transmission du choléra.
Il identifie trois types de zones : zones sources (A), zones épidémiques (B) et zones de diffusion (C), chacune nécessitant des interventions adaptées. Les stratégies incluent l’amélioration des infrastructures d’eau potable et d’assainissement, la surveillance épidémiologique, la prévention, la prise en charge médicale et la coordination des actions.
Malgré des progrès dans certaines régions, la mise en œuvre du plan a rencontré des défis, notamment en raison du manque de financements et de la persistance de foyers endémiques dans l'Est du pays. Une coordination nationale et internationale est essentielle pour mobiliser les ressources et atteindre l'objectif d'élimination du choléra en RDC.

Recommendations on the management of diabetes mellitis during the COVID-19 pandemic
“All sectors of humanitarian response are critical to providing an adequate and holistic response for children who have survived different types of violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect. Following the immediate humanitarian response, all humanitarian sectors have an important contribution to m...ake to the effective rehabilitation and reintegration of child survivors. ‘Mainstreaming’ child protection, or ensuring that child protection considerations inform all aspects of humanitarian action, helps to maximize the child protection impacts of the work that all humanitarians do. ”
How to Use This briefing paper: This briefing paper is a quick reference for Plan International Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE) staff on how to engage with other sectors operating in the emergency to ensure that child protection principles and considerations inform all aspects of humanitarian programming in other sectors. While there is child protection mainstreaming guidance for how to work with specific sectors (e.g. WASH, nutrition, distribution) this “All Sectors” briefing note can give CPiE staff the big picture of shared child protection mainstreaming messages that should be conveyed to all sectors. This briefing is aligned with the Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action and the Sphere Standards, as well as Plan International staff feedback on what actions are the most vital for child protection mainstreaming in other sectors.

Tax capacity—the policy, institutional, and technical capabilities to collect tax revenue—is part of a deeper process of state building that is essential for achieving the sustainable development goals. This Staff Discussion Note shows that developing countries have made some progress in revenue... mobilization during the past decades, but that much more is needed. It finds that a staggering 9 percentage-point increase in the tax-to-GDP ratio is feasible through a combination of tax system reform and institutional capacity building. Achieving this calls for a holistic and institution-based approach that focuses on improving policy, administration, and legal implementation of core taxes. The note offers practical lessons and guidance, based on IMF capacity-building experience in this area.

The main aim of this paper is to present the current situation of children with disabilities in the Republic of Namibia, with special regard to their educational chances and influence of cultural beliefs on their lives. Namibia has a law, which entitles education for all its citizens. Despite numero...us legislative acts which should have increased the educational chances of Namibian children with disabilities, their real situation is completely different and depends on various factors, including the infrastructure of the schools, teacher competencies, their attitudes towards students, the small number of special and integrated schools as well as an insufficient amount of money transferred for the education of the children. The paper discusses all of the above factors and provides practical implications, which would improve the situation of children with disabilities in Namibia.
