Book Description
The results report of the UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) is produced by its secretariat every year to document the progression on indicators related to three overarching categories: technical expected results, application of organizational core values and managerial performance. The outputs and outcomes which are aligned with the strategic plans of TDR’s co-sponsors, contribute to health impact, measured through the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals and the World Health Organization’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work triple billion targets. The report for 2023 marks the final year of the 2018-2023 strategy, which allows to reflect on how the Programme has delivered on its commitments over the entire period. Following the executive summary (section 1), the report summarizes the progress made on key performance indicators (section 2) and provides a qualitative description of what was done and the partnerships and contributions that made the achievement possible (section 3). Section 4 reports on how TDR has applied core values, section 5 on TDRs management performance and section 6 concludes with lessons learnt. Annexes include detailed information including the list of TDR-supported peer-reviewed publications (Annex 1), and the estimated resources leveraged in 2022 - 2023 (Annex 3).

Book Description
The report shows progress made on various indicators related to three overarching categories: technical expected results, application of organizational core values and managerial performance. Ultimately, TDR’s outputs and outcomes contribute to health impact, measured through the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Thirteenth General Programme of Work (GPW13) triple billion targets. Given the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals by the global community in 2016, TDR developed its 2018-2023 strategy to showcase the Programme’s unique contribution, through research, capacity strengthening and global engagement, to improved health, quality education, enhanced partnerships and other relevant SDG targets guiding international development work over the next 15 years. The Performance Framework (including a revised set of indicators), which is aligned with TDR’s 2018-2023 strategy, the GPW13 strategic objectives and SDG targets, has been in place since 2018.

Nothing But Nets
Author: Kirsten Moore-Sheeley
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421447584
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
How insecticide-treated bed nets became a staple of global public health initiatives and reshaped health practices in Africa and beyond. Distributed to millions of people annually across Africa and the global south, insecticide-treated bed nets have become a cornerstone of malaria control and twenty-first-century global health initiatives. Despite their seemingly obvious public health utility, however, these chemically infused nets and their rise to prominence were anything but inevitable. In Nothing But Nets, Kirsten Moore-Sheeley untangles the complicated history of insecticide-treated nets as it unfolded transnationally and in Kenya specifically—a key site of insecticide-treated net research—to reveal how the development of this intervention was deeply enmeshed with the emergence of the contemporary global health enterprise. While public health workers initially conceived of nets as a stopgap measure that could be tailored to impoverished, rural health systems in the early 1980s, nets became standardized market goods with the potential to save lives and promote economic development globally. This shift attracted donor resources for malaria control amid the rise of neoliberal regimes in international development, but it also perpetuated a paradigm of fighting malaria and poverty at the level of individual consumers. Africans' experiences with insecticide-treated nets illustrate the limitations of this paradigm and provide a warning for the precariousness of malaria control efforts today. Drawing on archival, published, and oral historical evidence from three continents, Moore-Sheeley reveals the important role Africans have played in shaping global health science and technology. In placing both insecticide-treated nets and Africa at the center of global health history, this book sheds new light on how and why commodity-based health interventions have become so entrenched as solutions to global disease control as well as the challenges these interventions pose for at-risk populations.
