Key performance indicators for improving the last mile in antiretroviral therapy to prevent HIV drug resistance in Tanzania. KU Leuven
This transdisciplinary, human-centered project proposal will generate key performance indicators that have to be met in order to prevent HIV drug (HIVDR) resistance in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. In an existing VLIR-SI, the factors driving HIVDR for a specific population in Dar es Salaam are being mapped. In this JOINT project, two partners of KU Leuven and two Tanzanian partners will join forces to use these system maps of causes leading to ...
Examining barriers to providing good quality postnatal care:A mixed-methods study of global configurations of care and local clinical practice adaptations in Tanzania and Guinea. Institute of Tropical Medicine
and this problem is most urgent in low-resource contexts such as
sub-Saharan Africa. Close monitoring of women and babies during
the first hours and days after childbirth (the postnatal period) can
save many lives. More than half of births in low-resource countries
now occur in health facilities, which should make it easier to provide
postnatal ...
Parental involvement in literacy development of primary school children in Tanzania KU Leuven
Despite several initiatives to enhance primary education provision in Tanzania, and as a consequence high enrollment rates, there have been limited improvements in the early literacy development of Tanzanian children. The current education system of Tanzania focuses mostly on schools and teachers as the key educators in children’s learning with little attention to the role of parents and the home environment. This PhD project aimed at ...

HIVDR-Prevent: Design and evaluation of interventions for preventing HIV drug resistance in Dar es Salaam urban cohort study (DUCS) area in Tanzania, using a transdisciplinary human centered approach. KU Leuven
HIV Drug Resistance (HIVDR) is rising and antiretroviral treatment (ART) is getting less effective, so people living with HIV (PLHIV) suffer more as they are restricted in their daily abilities. This induces several sustainability threats, touching several SDGs, not only health, but several other SDGs such as education, poverty, gender equality, among others. Root causes need to be determined in order to design leverage points to counteract ...

Efficacy Assessment of Bio-Control Preventive Actions in Maize to Reduce Human Mycotoxin Exposure in Tanzania Ghent University
The use of atoxigenic Aspergillus species to reduce aflatoxins in maize, based on competitive exclusion of toxigenic fungi, is a promising bio-control strategy. However, no research has been executed on the secondary metabolic repertoire of these so-called atoxigenic Aspergillus species and potential favourable production of fumonisins by Fusarium species. Furthermore, the direct comparison of mycotoxins treated with bio-control and ...
