  • long term impact of community based Information Education and communication activities on food hygiene and food safety behaviors in vietnam a longitudinal study
    PLOS ONE, 2013
    Co-Authors: Kumiko Takanashi, Dao To Quyen, Nguyen Thi Le Hoa, Nguyen Cong Khan, Junko Yasuoka, Masamine Jimba
    Abstract:

    Background Ingestion of contaminated water or food is a major contributor to childhood diarrhea in developing countries. In Vietnam, the use of community-based Information, Education and communication (IEC) activities could be a sustainable strategy to improve food hygiene and food safety behaviors. This study thus examined the long-term impact of community-based IEC activities on food hygiene and food safety behaviors. Methods In this longitudinal study, we interviewed caregivers of children aged between six months and four years in suburban Hanoi. Baseline data were collected in January 2006 (n = 125). After conducting IEC interventions, we collected a 1st set of evaluation data in January 2007 (n = 132). To examine the long-term impact of the interventions, we then collected a 2nd set of evaluation data in January 2008 (n = 185). Changes in childhood diarrhea prevalence, IEC coverage, and food hygiene and food safety behaviors were assessed over a two-year period using bivariate and logistic regression analyses. Effective IEC channels were determined through multiple linear regression analysis. Results Childhood diarrhea was significantly reduced from 21.6% at baseline to 7.6% at the 1st post-intervention evaluation (P = 0.002), and to 5.9% at the 2nd evaluation. Among 17 food hygiene and food safety behaviors measured, a total of 11 behaviors were improved or maintained by the 2nd evaluation. Handwashing after toilet use was significantly improved at both evaluation points. Overall, 3 food safety behaviors and 7 food hygiene behaviors were found to have significantly improved at the 1st and at the 2nd evaluations, respectively. Flip chart communication administered by community groups was identified to be the most effective IEC channel for effecting behavior change (P = 0.018). Conclusions Flip chart communication administered by community groups is effective for improving multiple food hygiene and food safety behaviors in sustainable ways, and should be included in water and health promotion programs.

  • the current status and challenges of collaboration in library and Information studies lis Education and training in africa
    New Library World, 2008
    Co-Authors: Dennis N Ocholla
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the current status and challenges of collaboration in library and Information Education and training in Africa.Design/methodology/approach – The paper largely draws examples from experiential knowledge and observation; basic bibliometric analysis; and studying related institutional documents as well as African studies in the domain.Findings – Most of the library and Information studies (LIS) schools are based in Anglophone Africa and located within universities. Common trends of LIS Education are shared by most LIS schools in Africa. Major challenges facing LIS Education include the regulation of student numbers, knowledge and diversification of LIS job markets, funding of LIS schools, the development of technology infrastructures both in quantity and quality, allowing efficient access and the continued development of Education through short courses that provide new knowledge, skills and attitudes to LIS workers. Collaboration of LIS schools in the region ...

  • trends challenges and opportunities for lis Education and training in eastern and southern africa
    New Library World, 2007
    Co-Authors: Dennis N Ocholla, Theo J D Bothma
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the status, trends and challenges of library and Information Education and training in Eastern and Southern Africa. It notes that library and Information Education and training in Africa is undergoing rapid change, with difficult challenges to be overcome. For example, during the past 20 years, the number of library schools has grown in some regions and declined in some, such as South Africa. Common LIS factors include amalgamation, re‐orientation, and curriculum review and revision.Design/methodology/approach – The authors' extensive experience with and exposure to LIS Education has been used together with observations and literature survey in the field to inform this paper.Findings – It is evident that LIS schools have, to a greater or lesser extent, been redesigning their curricula to keep track of the latest developments in the Information world and keep their teaching market‐related. New qualification programmes have been developed to provide opportun...
