Senegal Sample Clauses

Senegal. Senegal has an estimated population of 13.1 million; 44% of whom are under age 15. During the past decade, there has been some improvement in infant and maternal mortality rates, while the TFR, CPR, and unmet need for FP have only improved minimally. Maternal mortality ratios have fallen to an estimated 370 deaths per 100,000 live births—the second highest of the four countries studied. The TFR has remained relatively stagnant, around 5, while CPR for modern methods has slightly improved. PAC, including strengthening FP services at point of treatment, is a significant service delivery best practice to reducing maternal mortality and morbidity, early and short-spaced pregnancies, and unsafe abortion. Abortion is illegal in Senegal, except to save the mother’s life. Postabortion services are provided at health centers, regional and teaching hospitals, while FP is available at all levels of health care (Box 8).

Senegal. In the following a brief first analysis is given of how changes might affect stakeholders in Senegal. 7.1.2.1. Changes in solid waste treatment modes

Senegal. Senegal stands as a prominent fishing nation, with its economy significantly anchored in the maritime industry. The country's coastal waters teem with diverse marine life, making it one of West Africa's richest fishing grounds. Fishing constitutes a vital sector that not only contributes substantially to national food security but also serves as a critical source of employment and income for a large portion of the Senegalese population. Data were collected in Senegal in Kayar, Yoff, and Ouakam (Figure 2), three artisanal fishing landing sites fish landing sites near Dakar. The fishing villages were chosen for their strong and long history of fishing and their access close to Dakar.

Senegal. In Senegal 60% of the total physicians in the country are located in the Dakar (Capital) region, which is mostly urban and constitutes 23% of the total Senegalese population. On the contrary, the Kaolack region, which is mostly rural and among poorest regions in the Senegal, is served by mere 3% of total physicians, although 11% of the total population is located in this region. (Xxxx, Codjia, Xxxx, & Xxxxxxxx, 2010). Honda et al. noted that insecurities regarding the absence of permanent contracts, shortage and/or unavailability of equipment in the health facilities, and absence of career development opportunities are among the key factors contributing to poor rural physician retention in Senegal. (Honda et al., 2019).

Senegal. The participatory workshop was held in Dakar (Senegal) from April 20th to 21th 2011 in the premises of the African Urban Management Institute (Institut Africain de Gestion Urbaine - IAGU). It started by a welcome address by Xx Xxxxxxxx XXXX as the vice Executive Secretary of IAGU. This welcome address was followed by speeches of the representatives of local authorities. The IWWA programme was presented to all participants by Xx. Xxxxxx XXXXXX as the coordinator of Enda Ecopole. Mr. Xxxxx XXXXX, Director of the association EVE, also made a few comments on the evolution of the programme until now. The participants introduced themselves: NGO Xxxx XXXX-EVE (environnement, vie et eau), IAGU, XXX Xxxx Ecopole Xxxxxxx XXXXXXXXXX, the association of the waste pickers of Mbeubeuss dumping site (Association des récupérateurs de Mbeubeuss), the workers’ union of municipal waste workers (Syndicat des Services de nettoiement), the Secretariat of the Basel Convention, the National Agency on Waste Management (APROSEN), XXX Xxxx RUP, the concessionaries, ISE, SENECLIC, the Direction of the Environment (Ministry), NGO LVIA Sénégal, the sub cities of Ouakam, Thiaroye sur mer, and the Regional Council of Matam. Some participants apologized for not being able to attend the workshop. These were CADAK and the City of Foundiougne. Xx. Xxxxxx XXXXX, a consultant, proposed a methodology for the working groups and the plenary sessions. After a few amendments made by the participants to the agenda, the workshop started. 2.1. State of the art

Senegal. For Senegal, we have collected data from 691 participants, of which 485 (70.19%) are artisanal captains, vessel owners or both, 98 (14.18%) are processors and 108 are retailers (15.63%). In total, participants provided information on 623 artisanal fishing vessel which we collated separately in the vessel data base. The graph below shows the distribution of our vessel sample over gear types. Please note that the Senegalese survey was stratified both according to landing sites and gear types. 1,00 0,90 0,80 0,70 0,60 0,50 0,40 0,30 0,20 0,10 0,00 Fleuve Louga Xxxxx Nord Cap Vert Thies Sud Sine Saloum Total Purse Seines Passive Gillnets Encircling Nets Lines Traps and Pots Other Stratified sampling commands the use of weights in order to use the data on aggregate levels. In Senegal the weighting adjustment is based on two auxiliary variables: 1) the landing site and 2) the gear category. Population data on each of these variables is available in the official report of the Senegalese research facility "Centre de Recherches Océanographiques de Dakar-Thiaroye" (CRODT) (Thiao & Ngom- Sow 2015). The results of their 2014 vessel census are shown in the graph above. The auxiliary variables used from the survey data set are the location and the gear type of vessels 1-5 of each participants. Location strata are (with major fishing centers in brackets): Fleuve (St. Louis), Xxxxx Nord (Kayar), Thiès Sud (Mbour, Joal), Cap Vert (several in Dakar) and Sine Saloum (Foundiougne). Unfortunately, for a small part of observations south of Gambia in the region called Casamançe (Kafountine), no population data (neither reported nor expert knowledge) is available, such that we have to restrict the weighted analysis to observations to the North of Gambia. For analysis on location level, we can use the full dataset as we did not stratify for gear in Casamançe. Gear-strata in all other locations include: Purse seines, passive gillnets, encircling nets, lines, traps/ pots and other. We use the multilevel svyset command to apply weights in Stata. The corresponding Master-do-file provides the user with a choice between running summary statistics on the following datasets, which are available upon request: Overall (Northern) Dataset 383 If location south of Gambia or "None", observation was dropped 1st Weight: Landing Sites 2nd Weight: Gear Type Overall Dataset, gear only 449 Landing sites are not taken into account (no location based observations dropped) 1 Weighting process only, base...

Senegal. Since 2012, with the financial and technical support of DHHS and CDC, the Senegalese influenza surveillance system has been enhanced to detect additional clinical syndromes and the laboratory identification of other respiratory viruses. This improved system, now called the 4S Network, is based on reporting nonspecific indicators as epidemiological data to the healthcare authorities, and on random sampling for laboratory-based testing. The network has been expanded from three ILI sentinel sites, all in Dakar (2011), to 14 sentinel sites (2015) with two SARI sites. Weekly reports are prepared and transmitted by the Ministry of Health (MoH) to regional and district public health staff, as well as national and international partners. Notable progress in laboratory diagnostic capacity has been achieved over the past four years, and the success of this partnership has led to significant enhancements benefiting both Senegal and GISRS. The 4S Network supports other laboratories on a regional level. Laboratorians from Guinea, Togo, and Mauritania have been trained on influenza detection and identification techniques. Pasteur Institute of Dakar, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, continues to build laboratory and epidemiologic surveillance capacity to determine the burden of influenza disease. SEYCHELLES ILI and SARI surveillance in Seychelles both began in October 2013. ILI sentinel surveillance is conducted in six health care centers, four of those on the island of Mahe, one on the island of Praslin, and one on the island of La Digue. They send daily epidemiological information for several diseases including ILI. SARI sentinel surveillance is conducted in four hospitals throughout the country, two of those are on the islands of Praslin and La Digue. The sentinel sites are monitored periodically by the Disease Surveillance and Response Unit to verify registers and entry of data. They use checklists and questionnaires as evaluation tools. The Molecular Diagnostic Unit (MDU) of the Seychelles Public Health Laboratory began analyzing samples from sentinel sites in October 2013, for the detection of influenza A (H1N1, H3N2, H1N1pdm09) and influenza B viruses. The MDU successfully participated in WHO’s External Quality Assessment Project (EQAP) Panel 13. In July 2014, all sentinel hospital site staff members participated in data collection training in order to coordinate and standardize data collection (clinical illness and mortality) on SARI cases.
