When addressing the factors shaping HIV prevention programs in sub-Saharan Africa, it is important to consider the role of family planning programs that preceded the epidemic. In this book, Rachel Sullivan Robinson argues that both globally and locally, those working to prevent HIV borrowed and adapted resources, discourses, and strategies used for family planning. By combining statistical analysis of all sub-Saharan African countries with comparative case studies of Malawi, Nigeria, and Senegal, Robinson also shows that the nature of countries' interactions with the international community, the strength and composition of civil society, and the existence of technocratic leaders influenced variation in responses to HIV. Specifically, historical and existing relationships with outside actors, the nature of nongovernmental organizations, and perceptions of previous interventions strongly structured later health interventions through processes of path dependence and policy feedback. This book will be of great use to scholars and practitioners interested in global health, international development, African studies and political science.

Celebrate your pregnancy with 100 gluten- and dairy-free recipes, stories, and advice from The New York Times bestselling authors of Meals She Eats, Rachael and Tom Sullivan.

In 2022, after successfully conceiving their first child, Rachael and Tom Sullivan launched a series on TikTok that playfully tracked the size of their growing baby. In answer to Rachael’s question, “Honey, what do we got?” Tom presented her with a dish featuring an ingredient comparable in size to their baby that week. When their baby was the size of an eggplant, Tom prepared Crispy Eggplant Tacos. A pineapple? Slow Cooker Pineapple Pulled Pork. What about a butternut squash? Roasted Butternut Squash Soup.

Now you can celebrate your pregnancy and nourish your growing baby with over 100 gluten- and dairy-free recipes from the Sullivans, organized by trimester and focused each week on an ingredient that represents the size of your baby. As your baby grows from the size of the blueberry at Week 8 to the size of a watermelon at Week 40, you can mark each milestone with the perfect dish. You’ll find breakfasts, snacks, main dishes, and, of course, sweet treats and mocktails, all designed to satisfy your cravings and deliver the nutrition you and your baby need.

Rach and Tom offer advice and encouragement along the way, including:

• A week-by-week ingredient size chart
• Trimester-specific advice on milestones and symptoms
• Tips on how to prepare for what’s ahead during each trimester
• Relatable stories and empathetic guidance for new parents
