11 to 17 days later the mosquitoes were dissected and scored for the presence and numbers of immature and mature filarial larvae. Tests of susceptibility of Liberian Culex quinquefasciatus to Tanzanian Wuchereria bancrofti.Ĭulex quinquefasciatus strains of Liberian and Tanzanian origin were fed on Tanzanian donors with Wuchereria bancrofti microfilaraemias. Its goal is to help the native speaker understand the American volunteers' viewpoints and to provide detailed information on methods and techniques for teaching the Swahili language and Tanzanian culture. This teaching guide is designed to accompany the three Peace Corps students' books in Tanzanian Swahili. Peace Corps Language Handbook Series.ĮRIC Educational Resources Information Center These findings corroborate previous research, which questions the continued plausibility of ABC as a stand-alone HIV- prevention framework. Data reveal that the recipients of ABC campaigns are active producers of understandings that work for them in their lives, but may not produce the behavioural shifts envisioned by programme goals. The language research participants used to talk about ABC and the justifications they offered for non-compliance illuminate this discrepancy. However, efforts to use ABC as a technology to govern populations and individual bodies are largely incommensurate with existing Tanzanian sociocultural formations, including economic and gendered inequalities, and local understandings of sexuality. ABC regimes attempt to rework subjectivity, positioning HIV-related behaviours within a risk-based neoliberal rationality. Utilising findings from 66 semi-structured interviews conducted in 2009-2010, this paper examines ABC prevention as a form of Foucauldian governmentality-circulating technologies of power that mobilise disciplinary technologies and attempt to transform such efforts into technologies of the self-and explores how individuals understand and respond to attempts to govern their behaviour. Our bodies are our own: resistance to ABC-based HIV-prevention programmes in northern Tanzanian conservation organisations.ĪBC-based HIV-prevention programmes have been widely employed in northern Tanzanian wildlife conservation settings in an attempt to (re)shape the sexual behaviours of conservation actors. The purpose of this short report is to share the Tanzanian experience of launching and managing this integrated campaign with key stakeholders.
Over 21 million people were targeted by the integrated campaign, with the immunization program and MDA program reaching 97% and 93% of targeted individuals, respectively. Specifically, a measles and rubella supplementary vaccine campaign, mass drug administration (MDA) of ivermectin and albendazole, and Vitamin A were provisionally integrated into a shared community-based delivery platform. To leverage the strengths of compatible programs and avoid geographic and temporal duplications in efforts, the Tanzanian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare coordinated immunization and neglected tropical disease programs for the first time in 2014.
Global health practitioners are increasingly advocating for the integration of community-based health-care platforms as a strategy for increasing the coverage of programs, encouraging program efficiency, and promoting universal health-care goals.
