    Abstract/Overview

    Health development in Africa, and specifically improved health for mothers and children, needs to be based on tested approaches with demonstrable results. In light of the increasing health investments currently being made in Africa, generating and documenting evidence will not only increase value for invested resources but also provide a basis for programme scale-up and influence policy and practice change. The African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) works with African communities to ensure that these investments provide sustainable results.

    Further Details

    This supplement contains papers written by AMREF staff and partners working in various programme Strategic Directions: Making pregnancy safe and expanding reproductive health; Reducing morbidity and mortality among children; Scaling up HIV, TB and Malaria responses; and Preventing and controlling diseases related to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). The papers document the organisation's experiences in working with some of Africa's poorest, remotest and most vulnerable communities. Unique health problems such as trachoma among pastoralist communities, the jigger menace in highland regions and behaviour change among sex workers are among issues addressed by these papers.
