Améliorer les conditions de vie des communautés locales grâce au Développement Participatif de l’Innovation
Les régions d’intervention du projet Strengthening Farmer-led Research Networks for agroecological intensification in Burkina Faso and Mali (FaReNe) de Ségou et de Mopti connaissent des problèmes d’insécurité alimentaire engendrés par la pauvreté des sols. C’est pour répondre à cette problématique que l’approche Développement Participatif de l’Innovation (DPI) a été utilisée pour identifier et mieux valoriser les savoirs locaux dans le domaine de l’intensification agro-écologique. C’est une approche qui permet de stimuler la créativité de la communauté paysanne pour contribuer à l’amélioration de ses conditions de vie. Elle est basée sur un partenariat multi-acteurs qui inclut les paysans, les conseillers agricoles et les chercheurs.

Performance of algorithms for TB active case-finding in underserved high-prevalence settings in Cambodia: a cross-sectional study
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of death from an infectious disease, causing 1.6 million deaths in 2017 [1]. Although improved access to and quality of TB care have reduced TB-related mortality since 1990, more than one third of an estimated 10 million new cases of active TB remain undiagnosed every year, which is a major reason for the slow decline in TB incidence

Beyond Access: Exploring gender-transformative approaches to financial inclusion
Exploring gender-transformative approaches to financial inclusion
A range of current policies and programs target greater inclusion of the poor and marginalized–including women–in financial systems and services. Debate and effort have largely focused on widening access to products and services for these groups. But little is known about whether and how such efforts may be benefiting women, and whether improving access alone is sufficient to transform the underlying social and economic structures that constrain women’s livelihood and business success. This scoping paper explores available evidence on how ‘gender-transformative’ approaches can be integrated with financial inclusion efforts to empower women in the economy. It points to current knowledge gaps, and suggests areas for further research to deepen our understanding and inform policy and practice in this area.

Energy Politics and Gender
Policy makers and scholars often assume gender to be irrelevant in energy politics. However, an increasing body of scholarship and development policies has focused on how gender discrimination has negative effects on women’s access to energy resources and equal contributions to decision-making processes that influence energy issues. This article evaluates four overarching and salient policy and research discourses that frame women’s and men’s positions in benefiting from and participating in decision-making about energy

Development and validation of a predictive ecological model for TB prevalence
Nationally representative tuberculosis (TB) prevalence surveys provide invaluable empirical measurements of TB burden but are a massive and complex undertaking. Therefore, methods that capitalize on data from these surveys are both attractive and imperative. The aim of this study was to use existing TB prevalence estimates to develop and validate an ecological predictive statistical model to indirectly estimate TB prevalence in low- and middle-income countries without survey data.
