- Abstract:
Highlighting the growing evidence base for caregiver-assisted HIV self-testing (HIVST), this brief notes a significant decline in new pediatric HIV infections due to improved prevention of mother-to-child transmission. However, challenges in HIV diagnosis hinder progress toward UNAIDS’ 95-95-95 targets.
While evidence suggests caregiver-assisted HIVST is a highly acceptable and accurate option to screen children, concerns remain regarding social harm. This brief cites recent studies demo…

From July 2021 to March 2023, T2E+ provided children in Kindergarten to Basic 3 (B3) grade levels in 5,425 public primary schools across 16 regions in Ghana with a mu…

- Abstract:
In 2016, the Colombian Final Accord established that the acknowledgement of victims and their suffering should be at the center of the agreement. The accord also determined the necessity of restoring victims’ rights to truth, justice, reparation, and non-recurrence which were violated during the armed conflict. Challenges to restoring the rights of victims remain even after the signing of the peace accord, including the desertion of some members of the former FARC-EP from the peace process a…

- Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Since the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and owing to multi-stakeholder efforts, Afghanistan achieved appreciable progress in women’s rights until the Taliban forcibly overturned the democratically elected Afghan government in 2021. Afghan women earned many rights which the Taliban had taken away from 1996 to 2001.1 In the past two decades with the support of the international community, schools opened for girls, and women had the right to work. There was significant pr…

- Abstract:
Policy Brief No. 8
The Colombian Final Accord, signed in 2016, opened opportunities in the country for dialogue and increased stakeholder capacity to include women’s rights in peacebuilding programs. Effective participation of women’s organizations in the peace process has resulted in improved access to information, increased technical expertise, more opportunities to lobby and advocate for change, and strengthened implementation of the peace accord. While the evidence shows that the impleme…

- Abstract:
This paper was accepted by iPRES 2021.
Storage intermediaries are software, and sometimes hardware appliances that act as a link between applications and storage media, performing a range of tasks, such as protocol translation, caching, compression or even encryption. This paper describes storage intermediaries and their key functions that librarians and archivists should be aware of, as these introduce technical dependencies that can impact digital preservation.
