Proper handwashing reduces the transmission of deadly, preventable diseases. Schools, even those with limited resources, have the power to promote handwashing through simple, effective interventions. This study evaluated the impact of a school-based handwashing program consisting of two interventions: a hand-hygiene curriculum and group handwashing station. Quantitative and open-ended pre/postintervention surveys were administered to students at one primary school in Kenya ( n = 38) and at...

The objective of the Rwanda Pilot Program for Climate Resilience Project is to prepare the Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR) and strengthen institutional capacity for SPCR implementation. The rationale for restructuring the project is to provide additional time for the two consultancies focusing on identifying appropriate funding sources, packaging investments and mobilizing resources towards SPCR investments. There will be no change to the overall cost, and no change to the results framework.

This work examined the relationship between economic growth and pollution in the Nigerian context using econometric approach. It utilized secondary (time-series) data culled from World Development Indicators (WDI). The study employed the methodology of descriptive statistics, unit root test and Cointegration.

We conducted an absolute palaeointensity (API) survey on Ethiopian volcanics from Early Oligocene (Belessa section) and Middle Miocene (Debre Sina section). After a careful selection based on the reversibility of high-field thermomagnetic curves from samples yielding unambiguous palaeodirections, we restricted our analysis to five (resp. six) cooling units from Belessa (resp. Debre Sina), submitted to both Thellier and Wilson-style experiments. X-ray diffraction measurements and...
