One of the most common diseases on poultry farms is avian colibacillosis, which affects both broiler and laying hens. Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria are responsible for these infections.
Small and medium-size aquaculture farms in Asia struggle to reduce infectious diseases on their farms.
Streptococcus suis, a bacterium covered by a “sugar coat” (e.g. capsular polysaccharide), kills young pigs, resulting in significant economic problems for the global swine industry. Contaminated animals or pork can transmit disease to humans.
Emergencies and displacements create major challenges to the provision of effective civil registration services such as marriages, births, and deaths.
Most deaths in sub-Saharan Africa occur without medical attention, and as a result, the causes of death (COD) remain unknown.
While Ethiopia has successfully reduced under-five childhood mortality, there have been slower gains in reducing neonatal (newborn) and maternal mortality rates. About 220,000 children and mothers die every year in Ethiopia.
This project aims to support community-based services that will improve maternal health in Ethiopia, a country with some of the worst health indicators in sub-Saharan Africa.
