There's a Chinese proverb that says, “If you want to get rich, build a road first.” That philosophy has guided China's development strategy in Africa for much of the past 25 years, that's led to the construction of more than 100,000km of new roads across the continent. We wanted to find out, though, if it's true: does a new road actually pave the way for prosperity, as they say it does? So, we asked Malawi-based journalist Raphael Mweninguwe to visit two highways, the M1 and M26, to speak with local residents and shopkeepers about whether their lives have improved since the Chinese built these highways. Raphael joins Eric from the Malawian capital, Lilongwe, to discuss his report that was published on CGSP this week and explain why the question about whether the road helped improve their lives doesn't have a simple answer.

In 2021, the World Health Organization made a historic recommendation: to widely use the first ever malaria vaccine, RTS,S. This recommendation was based on evidence generated from a pilot vaccine implementation programme in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi that has reached more than 800 000 children since 2019. This is an excellent example of how evidence based on implementation research tells us whether health interventions, such as vaccines, will be effective in real life, after clinical trials show its efficacy and safety. In this episode, Margaret Gyapong of the University of Health and Allied Sciences in Ghana shares her first-hand experiences and learnings from the malaria vaccine pilot. Lee Hampton of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, also tells us how implementation research has played a key role in the success of health programmes for diseases such as yellow fever, typhoid and more.Host Garry Aslanyan speaks with the following guests:Margaret Gyapong: Director, Institute for Health Research at the University of Health and Allied Sciences, Ghana Lee Hampton: Vaccine preventable disease surveillance and vaccine safety focal point atGavi, the Vaccine Alliance, SwitzerlandDisclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Global Health Matters podcast series are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of TDR or the World Health Organization.Related episode documents, transcripts and other information can be found on our website.Subscribe to the Global Health Matters podcast newsletter.  Follow us for updates:@TDRnews on XTDR on LinkedIn@ghm_podcast on Instagram@ghm-podcast.bsky.social on Bluesky Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Global Health Matters podcast series are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of TDR or the World Health Organization.  The CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO creative commons licence allows users to freely copy, reproduce, reprint, distribute, translate and adapt the work for non-commercial purposes, provided TDR is acknowledged as the source and adapted material is issued under the same licensing terms using the following suggested citation: Global Health Matters.

Until fairly recently the government of Malawi were blissfully unaware of the fact that they inadvertently stumbled into a tense political stand-off between Nato and Russia. Ministers in the landlocked capital Lilongwe were understandably surprised to find that they had been enthusiastically registering sanctioned shadow fleet tankers and fixing them up with new identities. They were, initially at least, perplexed by questions regarding a fleet of tankers being used to load crude out of the Baltic, then escorted by Russian naval ships and tracked by the combined surveillance capacity of NATO's forces. And that's because they had no idea until Lloyd's List told them. In this special two-part podcast, Lloyd's List editor-in-chief Richard Meade explains how the system of ship registration has corrupted to the point that governments are unable to tell the difference between real and fake ship identities; and looks at what it will take to fix that broken system. Joining Richard on this week's episode are: Polina Ivanova, foreign correspondent, Financial Times Christian Panto, independent open-source intelligence analyst

Luke 12:32-40   Jesus said to his disciples, "Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. "Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them. If he comes during the middle of the night, or near dawn, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves. "But know this: if the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour."

On our special 100th edition of The COSAFA Show, a century of episodes that have taken you across the Southern African region and beyond over the last few years, we chat to former Namibia international Salome Iiyambo, who is the owner and coach of Beauties FC. They are one of two teams that will debut at the expanded CAF Women's Champions League | COSAFA Qualifiers to be played in Johannesburg from August 22-31. Beauties are an historic club in Namibia but have been drawn into a tough pool at the regional championship that also includes two-time winners Mamelodi Sundowns from South Africa, Ntopwa FC of Malawi and Zambia's Zesco Ndola Girls.Only the winner of the tournament advances to the continental finals and Iiyambo knows the task at hand for her side but says their appearance at the tournament is about a lot more than what happens on the pitch.

From the mountains of Malawi to the peaks of Nepal, and from Scottish farmlands to the Snow Leopard Conservancy, Jonny has spent his life navigating the thin line between wild nature and domestic life.We go deep on the ecological, emotional, and political dimensions of rewilding. What does it really mean to reintroduce predators like lynx and wolves to Britain and Ireland? What do they offer our ecosystems—and at what cost to farmers and communities?Jonny speaks candidly about his own conflicted identity as both a farmer and a conservationist, the damage done by illegal predator releases in Scotland, and the urgent need to build long-term trust and governance if we're to truly live with wild nature once again.This episode is a journey into big landscapes, difficult questions, and the wild edges of our own imagination.

In this powerful episode of The Radio Vagabond, we explore one of Cape Town's most poignant landmarks: District Six. I begin by chatting with Uber drivers – immigrants from Rwanda, Congo and Malawi – who share what life is really like in the city today. Their stories highlight Cape Town's beauty and its socio-economic challenges, setting a compelling backdrop for what follows. Then we step into the District Six Museum, where history comes alive through photos, maps and personal testimonies. Once a lively, multi‑ethnic neighbourhood of tens of thousands, it was declared a whites‑only area in February 1966. Forced removals displaced over 60,000 residents over the next decade – families torn apart and community destroyed. Today, most of the land remains vacant – a stark reminder of apartheid's legacy. We hear from former inhabitants who recount heartbreaking stories of resistance, loss and survival. This episode is a journey through memory, resilience and the enduring spirit of community amid injustice.

Neste programa, voltamos aos temas que marcaram a semana na África Lusófona. Em Angola, os tumultos provocaram pelo menos 30 vítimas mortais e quase 300 feridos e mais de 1500 detenções. Em Moçambique, a nova vaga de violência em Cabo Delgado teria feito cerca de 47 mil deslocados, de acordo com uma ONG. Na Guiné-Bissau, a Liga Guineense dos Direitos Humanos denunciou “uma escalada intolerável de violência institucionalizada” no país. Em Angola, os tumultos em várias províncias provocaram, pelo menos, 30 vítimas mortais e quase 300 feridos. Até quinta-feira, tinham sido detidas mais de 1500 pessoas. Os incidentes começaram na sequência de uma paralisação dos serviços de táxis, em protesto contra a subida do preço dos combustíveis e das tarifas de transportes públicos. O vice-presidente da Associação da Nova Aliança dos Taxistas (ANATA) de Angola, Rodrigues Catimba, foi detido, esta quinta-feira, em Benguela, de acordo com a irmã mais velha do activista, Mariaque Catimba. O Gabinete dos Direitos Humanos da ONU reclamou às autoridades angolanas “investigações rápidas, exaustivas e independentes sobre as mortes de, pelo menos, 22 pessoas, bem como sobre as violações dos direitos humanos associadas” durante os protestos em Luanda. Por outro lado, a Associação Justiça Paz e Democracia, pela voz do seu presidente Serra Bango, denunciou casos de “execuções sumárias” e pediu a responsabilização do Estado por não garantir a segurança dos cidadãos. A nova vaga de violência em Cabo Delgado, no norte de Moçambique, fez cerca de 47 mil deslocados, de acordo com a ONG Instituto de Psicologia Paz de Moçambique. Um número muito superior ao adiantado pelo ministro moçambicano da Defesa, Cristóvão Chume, que disse que os últimos ataques causaram entre 11 mil e 12 mil deslocados. Esta quinta-feira, Cristóvão Chume mostrou-se preocupado com a onda de novos ataques em Cabo Delgado. Entretanto, esta sexta-feira, elementos associados ao grupo extremista Estado Islâmico reivindicaram o ataque de 24 de Julho em Chiúre e a morte de 18 paramilitares ‘naparamas'. Esta semana, a UNICEF, Fundo das Nações Unidas para Infância, estimou que cerca de 3,4 milhões de crianças precisam de assistência humanitária em Moçambique. Em causa, a insegurança armada no norte do país e o surto de cólera que afecta, principalmente, a província de Nampula. Na região centro de Moçambique, sete distritos da província de Sofala enfrentam uma seca severa devido a factores combinados como a falta de chuva e as pragas. A situação deixou 50 mil famílias com necessidade de ajuda alimentar urgente, revela o delegado do Instituto Nacional de Gestão e Redução do Risco de Desastres em Sofala, Aristides Armando. Moçambique registava, no início da semana, 17 casos positivos da Mpox. Todos os casos foram notificados no Niassa, província que faz fronteira com a República do Malawi. O porta-voz do governo, Inocêncio Impissa, garante que o país está a implementar acções para travar a propagação da doença. Na Guiné-Bissau, a Liga Guineense dos Direitos Humanos denunciou esta segunda-feira o que descreveu como “uma escalada intolerável de violência institucionalizada” no país, marcada por perseguições sistemáticas, detenções arbitrárias, tortura, agressões a jornalistas e, mais recentemente, a alegada execução sumária de Mamadu Tanu Bari, agente de segurança afecto à Presidência da República. Já o Presidente guineense, Umaro Sissoco Embaló, afirmou estar “com reserva” em admitir a morte do seu segurança, que a família disse ter sido assassinado e o corpo atirado ao rio Mansoa. Em declarações aos jornalistas, à saída da reunião semanal do Conselho de Ministros, Sissoco Embaló afirmou que não pretendia falar do assunto por se encontrar sob investigação da Polícia Judiciária e da Inteligência Militar. Em Cabo Verde, o Estado foi condenado pelo Tribunal Arbitral a pagar cerca de 40 milhões de euros à CV Interilhas por violação de contrato, mas o governo rejeita a decisão e garante que vai até ao limite para proteger o interesse público. Odair Santos Em São Tomé e Príncipe, na segunda-feira, a ministra da Justiça, Vera Cravid, admitiu que uma em cada três mulheres no arquipélago “já foi vítima de violência física”, disse que isso é o reflexo de “normas culturais enraizadas” e que o governo as quer travar com um novo mecanismo de apoio às vítimas.

[SciDev.Net] – Following up on our previous episode that explored the funding disparities faced by women in STEM across Africa, this episode of Africa Science Focus explores the ongoing efforts to foster gender inclusion within science granting councils.In this episode, our reporters Ogechi Ekeanyanwu and Titilope Fadare speak with councils across Africa to understand the steps being taken to build a more inclusive research ecosystem.Thomas Kaluvi, an officer at the National Commission for Science and Technology in Malawi, tells us about an internal review that revealed gender imbalances in team composition in previous research projects, discouraging women from participating.In response, the council introduced a funding quota for women and vulnerable groups to encourage their participation in research projects.   Hildegalda Mushi, a senior researcher at the Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH), explains that the council developed a research grant manual that enabled men and women to compete on equal terms.She adds that the commission also launched a special funding call for women-led projects, to encourage more female researchers to take the lead in research activities.In Ghana, Mavis Akuffobea-Essilfie, a senior research scientist at the Science and Technology Policy Research Institute, tells us the council is forming focal groups to monitor progress and promote consistent integration of gender considerations across its research system.To ensure the efforts across councils are sustainable, Lorenza Fluks, senior research specialist at South Africa's Human Sciences Research Council, explains that a gender equality policy framework was developed to guide future work, embedding gender inclusion into funding, collaborations, and research outcomes.-------------------This podcast was supported by the Science Granting Councils Initiative which aims to strengthen the institutional capacities of 18 public science funding agencies in Sub-Saharan Africa.Africa Science Focus is produced by SciDev.Net and distributed in association with your local radio station. Do you have any comments, questions or feedback about our podcast episodes?

In this episode of iGaming Daily's Road to Lisbon series, host Charlie Horner sits down with Christopher Coyne, Co-Founder and CEO of 888Africa, for a discussion about the continent's iGaming landscape. Drawing from his global experience in the European and Australian iGaming sectors, Christopher highlights how Africa's unique challenges, such as outdated mobile devices, limited bandwidth, and a multitude of languages, create both obstacles and extraordinary opportunities. He points out that Africa's rapidly growing population and increasing government openness to regulated gaming as a source of tax revenue are driving a new era of professional iGaming expansion.The conversation moves deeper into 888Africa's strategic roadmap, shedding light on how the company chooses its markets and builds its footprint. Out of the 54 African nations, roughly 30 have regulated iGaming sectors, but entering each requires careful analysis. Christopher outlines a clear checklist: political stability, population size (preferably over 20 million), economic strength, and growing mobile penetration. Licensing frameworks and market competition are also major considerations. To illustrate the continent's varied regulatory and market environments, the episode contrasts two specific countries: Kenya and Malawi. Kenya, once a promising iGaming hub, is now riddled with regulatory reversals, including sudden tax hikes and a sweeping ban on advertising and CRM tools, measures that have created friction between operators and policymakers. Meanwhile, Malawi is emerging as an exciting new frontier, attracting serious attention due to its open regulatory stance and competitive yet fertile landscape. Christopher is optimistic that Malawi's approach, if mirrored across the region, could compress 10 to 15 years of market maturity into just a few. Host: Charlie HornerGuest: Christopher CoyneProducer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: James Ross

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Reguleringsowerheid vir Gesondheidsprodukte sê alle plaaslik-beskikbare kankermedisyne voldoen aan die vereiste gehalte-, veiligheids- en doeltreffendheidstandaarde. Dit volg nadat Lancet se internasionale gesondheids-opname swak gehalte teen-kankermiddels in lande soos Ethiopië, Kenia, Malawi en Kameroen geïdentifiseer het. Die owerheid se woordvoerder, Yuven Gounden, bevestig die spesifieke handelsmerke in die studie word nie in Suid-Afrika geregistreer of verkoop nie:

Un chasse-mouches en queue de lion devenu l'un des symboles les plus marquants du pouvoir de Kamuzu Banda. Médecin formé en Occident, le père de l'indépendance du Malawi cultivait pourtant l'image d'un chef profondément enraciné dans les traditions locales. Un nationaliste culturel assumé, qui n'apparaissait jamais sans cet accessoire singulier - à la fois outil cérémoniel, signe d'autorité et instrument de mise en scène politique.  Il le brandissait partout. Lors des cérémonies officielles, des rassemblements politiques, ou même à sa descente d'avion… Le fouet à queue de lion ne quittait jamais Hastings Kamuzu Banda. À l'image de son costume trois-pièces à l'anglaise ou de son chapeau homburg, porté à la manière d'un Winston Churchill, cet accessoire faisait partie intégrante de sa silhouette présidentielle. Le chercheur Chikondi Chidzanja de l'université de Stellenbosch s'en souvient : « Lorsqu'il se rendait au palais, il était dans une voiture décapotable et agitait son fouet à queue de lion. Pour nous, enfants des écoles, c'était un moment d'excitation. On répétait : “Aujourd'hui, on va voir Kamuzu Banda !” » Mais ce n'était pas un geste improvisé, souligne l'historien John Lwanda : « La main droite partait vers la gauche, puis vers le haut, puis vers la droite… Ce n'était pas un geste lancé au hasard, comme tu ferais lors d'un match de foot ». Le fouet servait aussi à projeter l'image d'un libérateur, explique Chrispin Mphande, enseignant à l'université de Mzuzu : « On l'appelait le Lion du Malawi. Certains allaient jusqu'à le voir comme un Messie, surtout après sa nomination à vie dans les années 1970. Le fouet symbolisait ce pouvoir : celui de l'homme qui a vaincu le colon et libéré le pays ». À lire aussiOù en est le Malawi 60 ans après son indépendance? Un symbole de pouvoir, mais aussi d'identité. Formé aux États-Unis et au Royaume-Uni, Kamuzu Banda voulait paraître comme un dirigeant enraciné dans les traditions africaines. Chikondi Chidzanja : « Kamuzu, il avait étudié en Occident, mais pour ne pas être perçu comme un étranger, il devait aussi incarner l'Africain. Alors le fouet est devenu le symbole de cet ancrage culturel ». Dès 1962, l'objet apparaît dans ses mains. Il lui aurait été offert par un autre père de l'indépendance, le Kényan Jomo Kenyatta. Mais sous le régime à parti unique de Kamuzu Banda, nul n'était autorisé à le porter, sauf lui. John Lwanda : « On ne pouvait pas se promener avec un fouet en disant qu'on était guérisseur. On se faisait arrêter ». Aujourd'hui encore, l'objet fascine. Il en aurait existé plusieurs : en poils de buffle, de lion ou de cheval... Mais la dernière version est bien connue, affirme l'historien John Lwanda : « Le dernier fouet était une vraie queue de lion, avec un manche en ivoire ». Cette version a été confiée à l'université de médecine qu'il a fondée, la Kamuzu University of Health Sciences. Elle est encore utilisée lors des remises de diplômes. Un enseignant la passe au-dessus des têtes des jeunes médecins, comme pour balayer l'ignorance, et consacrer leur entrée dans le savoir. Une manière de prolonger, dans le rituel universitaire, la portée symbolique d'un objet devenu emblème du pouvoir.

He became a familiar face to millions on Channel 4's Embarrassing Bodies and Live From The Clinic – boundary-pushing shows that challenged taboos and brought sensitive health issues into mainstream conversation.  Behind the camera, however, consultant urological surgeon Paul Anderson has established himself as one of the UK's most experienced urethroplasty surgeons, having performed over 2,500 procedures in the past 19 years – more thanany other surgeon in the country. Beyond his clinical practice, Paul also trains surgeons in Zambia, Ethiopia, Malawi, Tanzania, and Pakistan, addressing a critical unmet need for reconstructive urology in resource-limited settings.  In this deeply personal and candid episode, Paul joins his wife, Dr Louise Newson, to offer a rare insight into both his professional journey and their shared life together. They explore the often-overlooked impact hormones have on the health of both men and women, emphasising why recognising hormonal changes is vital to supporting physicaland mental wellbeing.  Louise discusses how hormonal changes have affected her personally and influenced their family life. Together, they examine how greater awareness could help demystify hormones, not only for the public but also for healthcare professionals. We hope you love the new series!

Réuni depuis le 7 juillet à Paris, le comité du patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco a décidé en fin de semaine d'inscrire 26 nouveaux sites sur la liste du patrimoine mondial. Cinq sont africains. Avec pour la première fois, l'inscription d'un lieu bissau-guinéen : l'archipel des Bijagos. Ce site avait déposé sa première candidature en 2012. Pourquoi a-t-il été choisi maintenant ? Les explications de Lazare Eloundou, le directeur du patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco.  RFI : Cinq sites africains ont été inscrits sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco. Il y a le paysage culturel du Mont Mulanje au Malawi, les sites archéologiques Diy Gid Biy des monts Mandara au Cameroun, le parc national de Maputo à la frontière entre le Mozambique et l'Afrique du Sud et il y a également ces deux sites bissau-guinéens et sierra-léonais. Est-ce que vous pourriez, rapidement, nous les présenter ? Lazare Eloundou: Oui, tout à fait. Celui de la Sierra Leone est un complexe d'une île de Tiwai et d'une forêt pluviale de Gola. Et la Sierra Leone célèbre son tout premier site sur la liste du patrimoine mondial. Ensuite, il y a le site de la Guinée-Bissau qui est un important écosystème marin de l'archipel des Bijagos, un hotspot tellement important de la biodiversité marine qu'il a aussi rejoint la liste du patrimoine mondial. On doit notamment l'inscription de l'île de Tiwai en Sierra Leone au combat acharné d'un activiste. Est-ce que vous pourriez nous en dire un petit peu plus ? Tommy Garnett est plus qu'un activiste. Il est vraiment un défenseur du patrimoine. Ce combat a commencé il y a plusieurs années après la guerre où il s'est engagé à tout faire pour sauver l'île de Tiwai qui avait été détruite par la guerre. Un travail important s'est fait avec les communautés et plus tard aussi avec le soutien des autorités de Sierra Leone.  Pour l'archipel des Bijagos en Guinée-Bissau, ça aura été une longue attente. Le pays avait déposé sa première candidature en 2012... Le travail pour préparer une candidature pour la liste du patrimoine mondial est un travail très sérieux où il faut des données très concrètes. Il se trouve que la Guinée-Bissau a pris un peu de temps déjà parce qu'il lui fallait de l'expertise. Et c'était ça, effectivement, l'une des choses importantes qu'Audrey Azoulay, la directrice générale de l'Unesco, a voulu en faisant de l'Afrique sa priorité depuis 2018. C'est l'expertise : renforcer l'expertise des professionnels africains. C'est ce qui s'est fait en formant des experts de la Guinée-Bissau qui ont pu contribuer à la préparation de ce dossier. Et qui ont pu démontrer que ce lieu important, cet archipel deltaïque actif, le seul de la côte Atlantique africaine, est aussi un lieu important, une halte migratoire la plus importante de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et un lieu de nidification majeur des tortues marines. Ils ont pu le démontrer dans ce dossier. Que vont changer concrètement ces inscriptions pour ces différents sites ? Elles vont changer beaucoup de choses pour les communautés locales. Elles vont certainement contribuer à l'amélioration de leurs conditions de vie, ce qui est important. Mais elles vont aussi permettre à l'Unesco de continuer à former des experts, à fournir de l'assistance internationale, à encourager le tourisme local, mais aussi culturel autour de ces sites. Cela va également contribuer au développement socio-économique de tous ces pays et promouvoir la riche histoire culturelle de tous ces pays. À côté de ces nominations, trois sites africains ont été retirés du patrimoine en péril. C'est le cas notamment de l'ancienne ville de Ghadamès en Libye et des forêts humides de l'Atsinanana à Madagascar. Qu'est-ce qui vous a poussé à faire ces choix ? Il y a un grand travail qui s'est fait. C'est le cas des forêts de l'Atsinanana à Madagascar. Pendant près de quinze ans, l'Unesco et tous les experts ont travaillé pour accompagner les autorités malgaches. Il y a eu des investissements énormes pour lutter contre la déforestation qui avait été observée. Beaucoup d'autres activités qui ont été menées ont fait que l'on peut dire que sur les six composantes qui constituent ces forêts, quatre d'entre elles sont aujourd'hui suffisamment préservées. Les deux autres sont aussi en train de le faire. C'est très encourageant et le Comité du patrimoine mondial a pris tout cela en compte et a considéré que les efforts du gouvernement malgache méritaient que ces sites soient retirés de la liste en péril. Et en plus, nous avons un plan d'action pour les années à venir afin de renforcer ce travail qui a déjà commencé et rendre durable cette décision du patrimoine mondial.

Ghana's twentieth century was one of dramatic political, economic, and environmental change. Sparked initially by the impositions of colonial rule, these transformations had significant, if rarely uniform, repercussions for the determinants of good and bad nutrition. All across this new and uneven polity, food production, domestic reproduction, gender relations, and food cultures underwent radical and rapid change. This volatile national history was matched only by the scientific instability of nutritional medicine during these same years. Moving between the dry Northern savannah, the mineral-rich and food-secure Southern rainforest, and the youthful, ever-expanding cities, John Nott's Between Feast and Famine: Food, Health, and the History of Ghana's Long Twentieth-Century (UCL Press, 2025) is a comparative history of nutrition in Ghana since the end of the nineteenth century. At the heart of this story is an analysis of how an uneven capitalist transformation variously affected the lives of women and children. It traces the change from sporadic periods of hunger in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, through epidemics of childhood malnutrition during the twentieth century, and into emergent epidemics of diet-related non-communicable disease in the twenty-first century. Employing a novel, critical approach to historical epidemiology, Nott argues that detailing the co-production of science and its subjects in the past is essential for understanding and improving health in the present. John Nott is a Research Fellow in Science, Technology and Innovation Studies at the University of Edinburgh. His research interests sit primarily across the history of medicine and economic history, with a particular focus on colonial and postcolonial contexts. He also has complementary interests in medical anthropology and STS, and is currently a Research Fellow on Lukas Engelmann's ERC-funded project, "The Epidemiological Revolution: A History of Epidemiological Reasoning in the Twentieth Century." Amongst other things, he is working on a monograph detailing the economic and medical history of surveillance in Anglophone Africa. Dr. Nott is also the Principal Investigator of a collaborative British Academy-funded project, "Population Health in Practice: Towards a Comparative Historical Ethnography of the Demographic Health Survey," which explores the history and contemporary production of epidemiological and demographic data in Ghana, Tanzania, and Malawi. Dr. Nott was trained at the University of Leeds, where his PhD focused on the history of nutrition and nutritional medicine in Ghana since the end of the nineteenth century. Immediately before coming to Edinburgh, he was a fellow at the Merian Institute for Advanced Studies in Africa (MIASA) at the University of Ghana. Before this, Dr. Nott was based at Maastricht University as a Research Fellow on Anna Harris' ERC-funded project, “Making Clinical Sense: a Historical-Ethnographic Study of the Technologies Used in Medical Education. The edited collection, “Making Sense of Medicine: Material Culture and the Reproduction of Medical Knowledge,” recently won the Amsterdamska Award by the European Association for the Study of Science & Technology (EASST).

“We want to make sure that nurses, have opportunities both in our local communities as well as international communities, to engage in courageous dialog with others who may think or look different than we do and whose culture or language may also be different. The difference is what brings us together and allows us to have more of this tapestry of what we are about—ensuring that we advance health for all and that we are able to move forward together,” ONS member Ashley Leak-Bryant, PhD, RN, OCN®, professor at University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, told Darcy Burbage, DNP, RN, AOCN®, CBCN®, chair of the ONS 50th Anniversary Committee, during a conversation about international collaboration in oncology nursing. Burbage spoke with Leak-Bryant, ONS member Kristin Ferguson, DNP, MBA, RN, OCN®, senior director of strategic operations, bone marrow transplant, and cellular therapies at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, and ONS member and Chief Clinical Officer Erica Fischer-Cartlidge, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, EBP-C, about their experiences working in the global oncology space and how ONS is advancing those efforts.

This was when I was in nursing school at UNC Greensboro. An opportunity came about where I had a chance to go to Honduras, and it was for a one-week service learning cultural immersion experience. And that really gave me my first entree into global health as well as global training. And so, as a first-generation college graduate who had never been out of North Carolina nor had ever flown, it was really an eye-opening experience that has led me now to my current role and passion for global health.” TS 3:24 Leak-Bryant: “In 2018, we had the Malawian delegation come to UNC Chapel Hill. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has one of the longest standing collaborations with Malawi, and we call it UNC Project Malawi, and it has been in existence for more than 30 years. … Those nurses and other allied health professionals came to UNC to our cancer center to see how we were making sure that we were engaged in best practices, then how they would be able to take that back to Malawi to make sure that they have what they need as they were opening up a new national cancer Center in Malawi.” TS 7:57 Ferguson: “I have volunteered with ONS at the Asian Pacific Breast Cancer Summit, which was in Indonesia in 2024, and then a few months ago in Singapore. And this is an exciting conference because it draws in nurses from the region, so you end up having five, six, maybe seven countries represented at these conferences, where oncology nurses are very eager to learn, meet one another. And so the teaching that we've provided there has been a combination of lectures and then roundtables where we've strategically placed nurses attending with nurses that are not at their same hospital so that they can connect and share experiences with myself and another ONS member and maybe some other local staff acting as moderators and facilitating conversations.” TS 18:04 Ferguson: “When I was in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 2019, the people there, most of them do not speak English, so they speak their native language Georgian. As I presented, I was wearing a headset, and all of the oncology nurses in the audience were wearing a headset, and I was live translated. What this means is when you're speaking, a translator is sitting in a booth close by and you can actually very quietly hear in your ear he or she quietly translating what you're saying into a language that the nurses can understand. It's actually a bit funny because when you make a joke or ask a question, expecting nods or head shakes, it takes several seconds for the translation to occur. You can get used to a 10-second delay, and you have to pause your speaking and allow actually a little bit more time in presenting if translation services are required.” TS 22:25 Fischer-Cartlidge: “I think that the professional organization role is absolutely critical in how we advance global oncology. Certainly, providing education and helping empower nurses to be more autonomous and equal partners on the care team is a big piece of that. But it's also through forming international partnerships and really elevating the collective voice of nurses in the specialty. This goes a long way in standardizing practices, promoted leadership development among oncology nurses, really across the world. We know that nurses are not seen the same country to country to country on the healthcare team. And so a big part of what we do is try to elevate the importance of what nurses bring to cancer care.” TS 36:14 Fischer-Cartlidge: “I have so many hopes. I hope more opportunities come up for us to raise awareness of this essential role and how we bring a greater spotlight to what nurses are doing across the world for patient care. I hope to see us have more collective global position statements in this space. I hope to see that we have more unified projects across nursing organizations across the world, where we then really can bring our resources and our members together to do great work more effectively and more efficiently. And I think the beginnings of that are happening right up to this point.” TS 41:17

This program ventures into corners of Africa we rarely hear from, guided by adventurous field recordists and crate diggers. The Zomba Prison Project is a set of recordings by inmates at a maximum security prison in Malawi, one of the poorest nations on earth. The project's debut CD was nominated for a Grammy Award. Here, we speak with the producer, Ian Brennan, and hear tracks from a volume of soulful, even heartbreaking, songs from the prison. We then go back to the 1960s and ‘70s in the city of Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso (then Upper Volta) to sample a gorgeous set recordings by Volta Jazz, Dafra Star, Les Imbattables Leopards and more. We hear from Florent Mazzoleni, the author and intrepid vinyl collector behind the new box set, Bobo Yéyé: Belle Époque in Upper Volta. Produced by Banning Eyre APWW #738
