Compiled by the Partnership for Child Development at Imperial
College London, the World Food Programme, the World Bank and the
African Union's New Partnership for Africa's Development, this is
the first sourcebook of its kind to document government-led school
feeding programmes in low and middle income countries. It includes
a compilation of concise but comprehensive chapters about national
programmes in 14 countries from sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and Latin
America. The sourcebook highlights the trade-offs associated with
alternative school feeding models and analyses the overarching
themes, trends and challenges which run across these
programmes.This sourcebook supports learning and knowledge exchange
among countries looking to strengthen and scale-up national school
feeding programmes. The evidence presented here sheds light on
identified global good practices which can be employed to improve
the quality and effectiveness of programmes that positively impact
on millions of children and communities worldwide.
Courage and Hope gives voice to the real life experiences of 12
HIV-positive teachers, five of whom are women, from Burkina Faso,
Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania (both
Mainland and Zanzibar) and Zambia. The teachers recount their
experiences of discovering their HIV-positive status and how this
has affected them in their families, their communities, and their
professional lives. Their stories are documented by journalists,
emphasizing the human dimension. The voices of these teachers
suggest that a number of obstacles are commonly faced by teachers
living with HIV. Paramount among them are stigma and
discrimination, both within their families and communities as well
as their workplaces and in society more generally. The difficulties
of overcoming stigma and discrimination are further exacerbated by
a failure to ensure confidentiality in the workplace. The voices of
these teachers also suggest that these obstacles could be usefully
addressed by: * Fully implementing existing national and
institutional policies. * Increasing involvement of teachers living
with HIV in setting policies and giving practical advice. *
Providing universal access to voluntary counselling and testing,
care and support. * Addressing HIV issues during teacher training
activities to reduce stigma among teachers and to equip teachers
with the skills to avoid infection and teach young people about
HIV, including avoiding infection and focusing on stigma and
discrimination reduction. Each teacher presents a unique story
demonstrating a wide range of challenges as well as insights and
successes and, individually as well as collectively, displaying
extraordinary courage and hope.
