World Report on Violence and Health - Early next year, the World Health
Organization and its collaborating centres on injury and violence
prevention will publish its first World Report on Violence and Health. The
report is unique because it's the first one of its kind that deals with
violence on a global level in order to raise worldwide awareness on this
issue. To support the scientific chapters we will supplement the data with
first persons accounts from those who have experienced violence in order
to deepen the understanding of the issue. In order to make a difference,
we should allow victims and those who work closely to victims, to tell
their story. In particular we are looking for narratives or testimonies of
victims and perpetrators of violence, letters, poems and photos.
If you have access to first accounts on child abuse, youth violence,
violence against women, or violence against people with diseases such as
AIDS, would you be interested in providing me with a few case
studies/testimonies to put into the report? Due to time constraints
please contact Nynke Poortinga, preferably by e-mail, as soon as possible.
She will be happy to give you all the additional information you need.

COOL stuff from PAHO: Virtual Disaster Library and Virtual Health Library
This first edition of the Virtual Disaster Library developed by the Pan
American Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) in collaboration with the Regional
Disaster Information Center (CRID) and the International Decade for
Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR) contains more than 250 publications,
in English and Spanish, on disaster preparedness, mitigation and response.
Although these publications are oriented toward the countries of Latin
America and the Caribbean, they are also of interest to and useful for all
countries worldwide. http://www.paho.org/English/PED/pedtm3en.htm
The majority of this collection is made up of material published by the
Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Relief Coordination Program of the Pan
American Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) during the past 20 years.
Specifically it includes: The complete collection (in English and
Spanish) of the newsletter Disasters: Preparedness and Mitigation in the
Americas, published quarterly since 1979, a unique source of information
that tracks the progress of the health sector of the Americas on its
journey toward disaster reduction, highlighting most of the Regionīs
significant achievements along the way. All the manuals and scientific
and technical publications on disaster preparedness, mitigation and
response in the health sector. Disaster Chronicles on the Regionīs major
disasters and the response to them. Guidelines and case studies,
applicable to training activities. An exhibit titled "Towards Natural
Disaster Reduction: The Journey of Latin America and the Caribbean" opened
July 19 at the UN Economic and Social Council meeting in New York City.
The exhibit, organized by the Permanent Mission of Colombia to the United
Nations together with PAHO, shows how Latin American and Caribbean
countries have increased their preparedness for disasters, and their
successes in disaster relief as well as in mitigation, preparation, and
response. The exhibit highlights many initiatives in this area, like
disaster mitigation projects in hospitals and water systems, in schools,
transportation corridors, or energy systems. It includes also information
on the supply management system, SUMA, the Regional Disaster Information
Center (CRID) and the use of the Internet in disaster management. In
addition, check out their totally cool Virtual Health Library

KNOWLEDGE AWARD OF THE MONTH: ROGER HAY for Oxford Policy Brief, No. 2:
April 2000...for more info...email: [log in to unmask] Briefly summarized
below: Abstract: The evidence is accumulating that consumers of health
care services in many low-and middle-income countries have turned away
from poor quality, publicly-financed services to private providers. At
the same time, many services effectively have been privatised as low-paid
government health workers have come to rely increasingly on fees for their
income. This unplanned and unregulated process was accelerated by the
introduction of cost-recovery policies which legitimized the charging of
fees for services and for pharmaceuticals. Its roots lie in well-meaning
attempts to provide comprehensive publicly financed health care with
insufficient resources and insufficient attention to provider incentives
and regulation. The outcomes have been both inefficient and inequitable.
Solutions will be elusive, but probably lie in new, more selective and
affordable public roles, and different incentives for health care
providers. Sections: The erosion of public health
services....introduction of health care fees has not delivered its
promised financial benefits....the growing privatisation of health
services......efficiency losses......where unregulated private provision
replaces publicly-funded health services, efficiency, and equity losses
ensue......equity losses....Policy responses.....clinicians employed in
the public sector have substantial opportunities for rent-seeking
Designing incentives for health service providers....Market
incentives...Organizational incentives....Reforming institutional
environment....Conclusions.....embedded institutions that once may have
provided inducement for government health professionals, operating on low
pay and without formal organizational incentives, to work hard for their
patients, have been eroded. these trends may be regretted, but they also
need to be accepted and other incentives sought to achieve the same
outcome.....an alignment of financial and non-financial incentives is
required for increased health-sector prodcutivity. These incentives need
to be synergistic and to reinforce each other: no single incentive,
operating alone, is likely to be effective. Adequate financial rewards
for public sector health workers are now a necessary, though not a
sufficient, condition for a reversal of the decline in health services
that are publicly financed and delivered. In countries where the govt
health sector is too large to be financed adequately, poor pay has so
eroded the effectiveness of management incentives and sanctions, that the
scope for efficiency gains by way of performance management and
output-related budget management is limited. Unless govt wage rates
approximate market-clearing wage rates, these incentives are likely to
remain weak and regulation will prove indordinately expensive....but 'bad
habits' are unlikely to be reversed by an increase in govt wages alone.
Expectations may already have been formed of widely-available rent-seeking
opportunities in the public health service. If so, higher wages may not
reduce rent-seeking behavior. Instead, income expectations may simply
advance ahead of pay increases. At worst, there may be a
wage-rent-seeking ratchet in place which will be difficult to reverse in
the short runa nd may be managed only by introducing a new cohort of
public sector health workers to new pay, employment and management
conditions. Contact: Roger [log in to unmask]

Tom Merrick has kindly shared: NGO Networks for Health (Networks) is an
innovative five-year global health project created to meet the burgeoning
need for family planning, reproductive health, child survival, and
HIV/AIDs (FP/RH/CS/HIV) information and services in developing countries.
Aware that new forms of cooperation are called for if communities are to
meet these challenges, five PVO Partners-ADRA, CARE, PATH, Plan
International, and Save the Children-are collaborating to implement the
Networks project. Networks' vision is to empower and enable individuals,
families, and communities to improve their health. Networks pursues its
vision by creating innovative and enduring NGO partnerships and fostering
and supporting networks that enhance the scale and quality of FP/RH/CS/HIV
programs. Networks has begun project activities in Armenia, Malawi, and
Nicaragua with more countries to follow. NGO Networks for Health, 1620 I

FPLM Programs That Deliver outlines the critical logistics lessons learned
by FPLM, a project working since 1986 in approximately 40 countries in
Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The result of 15 years of
collaboration with national family planning and health programs and
nongovernmental organizations interested in improving their supply chains,
the monograph contains a careful description of why health and family
planning programs cannot succeed unless the supply chain delivers a
reliable, continuous supply of contraceptives and essential products to
customers. It also provides a number of different perspectives on the
logistics management process, focusing chapters on the policymaker's role
in improving and supporting the supply chain, the customer's point of
view, and the needs and motivations of the people and organizations
coordinating logistics systems.
Programs That Deliver explains the key components of a logistics system
and discusses trends that affect and may transform family planning and
public health supply chain management in developing countries issues such
as health sector reform, decentralization, cost recovery, the donor
environment, and the role of the private sector. To order a copy, send an

MEASURE Evaluation/Carolina Population Center has developed a series of
publications in order to disseminate information from its surveys,
workshops and research. There are five types of publications: Technical
Reports, Workshop Reports, Working Papers, Evaluation Bulletins and
Manuals/Guides. The following is a description of each type of publication
and attached is a list of all current MEASURE Evaluation publications of
each type. Copies of any of these publications can be received by
emailing [log in to unmask] and specifying the publication number, quantity
and postal address. There are more MEASURE Evaluation publications to come
soon, but you can access the updated publication list at
http://www.cpc.unc.edu/measure. Technical Reports: Technical reports are
based on MEASURE Evaluation supported surveys or analysis of DHS data
sets. These reports have a broad scope and usually focus on a specific
location (e.g. DISH in Uganda). Workshop Reports: Workshop reports come
from MEASURE Evaluation workshops on special topics (e.g. capacity
building and quality of care) Working Papers: Working papers are technical
papers that eventually are intended for journal publication. The papers
are published by the project before journal publication so they can be
distributed and referenced. Evaluation Bulletin: The Evaluation Bulletin
is a publication series with summaries of MEASURE Evaluation studies and
current thematic issues. The bulletin will contain short articles on one
broad topic such as quality of care. This publication is intended for a
general audience. Manuals/Guides: In the future, there will a manual and
handbook series, which will be a reference to assist in decision-making
about program monitoring and evaluation. These manuals are intended for
to have a wide focus and draw from several country surveys.

Protect Your People - World Vision Security Manual
The most valuable resource in an aid organization is undoubtedly its people. It
is from the hands of field workers that aid is delivered to those in need.
Unfortunately, international aid workers are now more vulnerable than ever, as
evidenced by the increased number of attacks on them in recent years. Dealing
effectively with the threat of such attacks requires forethought and
preparation. Until now, there has not been a broad-scope yet concise
publication to help organizations address these importantan issues. This
manual can help you develop a comprehensive security policy that considers
issues such as vehicle safety, cultural appropriateness, and hostage situations.

Helen Keller International TRACHOMA has begun a five-year project to expand
community education and school health interventions in eight countries to help
reduce trachoma, which is the second leading cause of blindness in the world.
This project is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Another 150
million, mostly children, need treatment for active disease. 540 million people,
or 10% of the world's population, are at risk of developing the disease. The
World Health Organization has endorsed a four-part strategy to eliminate
trachoma as a blinding disease:
S: A simple surgical correction for trichiasis
A: Antibiotic treatment for active infection
F: Regular face washing helps prevent the spread of the infection
E: Specific environmental improvements that reduce contributing factors
A new partnership with the Worldspace Foundation affords the opportunity to
download information via satellite using inexpensive digital radios, enabling
better information dissemination and distribution of education materials to
remote areas. For example, training manuals such as HKI's Basis Eye Care for
Community Health Workers can be downloaded and adapted for local use. please

Commissioner for Human Rights. Published by the Center since 1994, Health and
Human Rights explores the reciprocal influences of health and human rights,
including the impact of public health programs and policies on human rights, the
health consequences of human rights violations, the importance of health for
the realization of human rights, and the ways in which promotion of human rights
can be incorporated as an integral part of public health strategies. Subscribers

The Society for International Development (SID) and the Bernard Leer Foundation
are pleased to announce a special issue of the Development journal on Women's
rights and child's rights to be published in June 2001 for distribution at the
UNGASS on children in 2001. We are looking for contributions from scholars,
policy makers and activists who are working either in the area of women's rights
or child's rights (or both) to write an article on the links among the different
demands for rights by women and child rights groups within specific
socio-cultural contexts. Articles should consider the similar concerns of women
and children living in poverty how children's rights to well-being are
intricately linked to women's rights to health, education, security and
sustaining livelihoods. Contributors should consider if there are actually
conflicting rights, for example in terms of early childhood care: how does
women's rights to work conflict with children's rights to have love and care and
security? Other concerns could be: how to encourage women and children to voice
their concerns and needs in public fora, how to explain the cultural and other
impediments for both groups to exercise their rights, how to create ways for
women and children to know more about their rights. The articles should be
original, written in accessible language and if possible with examples drawn
from specific socio-cultural contexts. It will also directly feed into a future
issue planned in 2001 with UNICEF on 'Violence Against Women and the Culture of
Masculinity' Those interested should send by e-mail to [log in to unmask], cc:
