Introduction:The Better Health Program has been addressing key health system issues in the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. As the program comes to an end, the sustainability and scaling-up of issues have assumed importance.Objectives:The objective is to assess how well sustainability and scale-up strategies have been integrated into the design and implementation of a 3-year multicountry technical program; to explore enablers and barriers of sustainability and scaling up; and to identify practical strategies that can improve sustainability and scale-up of Better Health Program interventions.Methods:We applied a staged approach to explore barriers and enablers and to identify practical strategies to improve sustainability and scale-up of four NCD interventions: community-based obesity prevention, front-of-pack labeling, local learning networks (LLNs), and NCD surveillance. We extracted evidence from peer-reviewed literature and local documents. We also conducted in-depth interviews with the implementation teams and key stakeholders. We conducted a thematic synthesis of the resulting information to identify practical strategies that improve sustainability and scale-up of the four interventions.Results:Strong engagement of stakeholders at higher levels of the health system was identified as the main enabler, while limited funding and commitment from local governments were identified as a key barrier to sustainability and scale-up. Strengthening the social and institutional anchors of community health volunteers, enhancing evidence-based advocacy for front-of-pack labeling, trailblazing the LLN innovation, and securing the commitment of local governments in the implementation of NCD surveillance were among the key strategies for improving sustainability and scale-up of Better Health Program interventions in Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam, respectively.Conclusions:This study identified practical strategies for improving sustainability and scale-up of NCD-related interventions. Implementation of the strategies that had high priority and feasibility will improve the sustainability of critical elements of the program in the respective countries.

Abstrak: Terung (Solanum Melongena L.) adalah tumbuhan yang menghasilka buah yang berasal dari india dan sri lanka yang saat ini banyak dibudidayakan di Indonesia. Setiap 100 g terung mengandung 26 kalori; 1 g protein; 0,2 g hidrat arang; 25 IU vitamin A; 0,04 g vitamin B; dan 5 g vitamin C. Terung juga dapat dijadikan sebagai obat, karena terung sendiri mengandung alkaloid, solonin, dan juga solosodin yang dapat dijadikan sebagai obat. Proses budidaya yang dilakukan oleh petani di Indonesia tidak bisa lepas dengan penggunaan pupuk kimia, padahal hal tersebut dapat menyebabkan pencemeran lingkungkan dan juga dapat menghilakan mikroorganisme penyubur yang berasal dari tanah. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut maka dapat memberikan Plant Growth Promothing Rhizobacteria (PGPR) merupakan sekelompok mikroorganisme tanah yang menguntungkan bagi tanah dan juga bagi tanaman, karena mikroorganisne ini secara aktif mengkolonisasi daerah perakaran (rizosfir) dan berkembang dengan baik pada tanah yang kaya akan bahan organik. Plant Growth Promothing Rhizobacteria (PGPR) memiliki peran utama sebagai biofertilizer, biostimulan dan bioprotektan. Akan tetapi dalam pemberian Plant Growth Promothing Rhizobacteria (PGPR) harus memperhatikan konsentrasi dan waktu yang akan diberikan karena dengan hal tersebut dapat berpengaruh terhadap hasil produksi tanaman terung. Metode pembuatan Plant Growth Promothing Rhizobacteria (PGPR) yatu dengan membuat biang bakteri yang berasal dari 100 gr akar bambu dan air yang difermentasi selama 3-4 hari. Setelah itu membuat larutan nutrisi yang berbahan molase, terasi, dedak bekatul, kapur sirih, dan air. Semua bahan direbus sampai mendidih lalu didiamkan sampai dingin setalah itu dicampur dengan larutan biang dan difermentasi selama 20 hari. Kosentrasi yang diberikan adalah 30 ml/liter, 40 ml/liter, dan 50 ml/liter. Sedangkan waktu pemberian Plant Growth Promothing Rhizobacteria (PGPR) adalah 7 hst, 14 hst, 21 hst, dan 28 hst. Hasil dari penelitian ini menujukkan konsentrasi 50 ml/liter dengan waktu pemberian 7 hst dapat memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap parameter tinggi tanaman , jumlah daun, jumlah bunga, jumlah buah pertanaman.

Authors: Kondoltiony Emmanuel 
Published: October 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to asses, from a gender perspective, the effects of Alternative Livelihood Strategies (ALSs) on households in the pastoral community of West Pokot County.
Methodology: This study applied both quantitative and qualitative research approaches, and adopted a cross-sectional survey research design. The target population was adult household members in West Pokot County. While multi-stage cluster sampling technique was employed to sample 371 household survey respondents, 15 participants for Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) and nine Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), were purposively selected. Data was collected using questionnaires, KII schedule and FGD guide. Validity and reliability of the data collection instruments were achieved through triangulation method and pilot-testing in Baringo County. Quantitative data was then analyzed using descriptive statistics with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. The analyzed data was presented in tables and charts. Thematic analysis was employed for qualitative data that was presented in narrative and verbatim forms.
Findings: The study results were that, adoption of ALSs had three effects on the pastoral households. First, it blurred the boundaries that separated men and women in terms of household roles and socioeconomic status. Second, ALSs affected the way household members related to each other. The effects were both negative and positive, depending on type and level of ALSs adopted. Third, adoption of ALSs caused improvement in the socioeconomic status of most households. Overall, ALSs had more positive effects on households and had caused general improvement in living standards.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Structural Functionalism theory and the Harvard Analytical Framework may be used to emphasize the critical contribution of both men and women in the wellbeing of pastoral households, through equitable and inclusive adoption of ALSs. The findings of this study could enable development agencies to formulate concrete interventions and policies to curb the negative effects of adoption of ALSs on households while leveraging on the positive ones, from a gender perspective. This will enhance adoption of ALSs and the community’s well-being.

Despite being common among most communities, it carries a risk of medication errors. The current study aimed to assess the prevalence, awareness, and practices related to SM, including risky practices among adults in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).Material and methodsA cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted in Jeddah KSA. The sample size was 312 participants (as calculated by using the Epi-info CDC software calculator). They were recruited by volunteer sampling technique, through online propagation of a questionnaire, which was designed and assessed for validity and reliability. It was composed of 3 sections: demographics, assessment of awareness, and practices related to SM, including risky practices. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS-25.ResultsSM was practiced by 83% of the studied population. The prevalence of excellent, fair, and poor levels of awareness about SM were 12.4%, 45.6%, and 42%, respectively. Risky practices like using expired SMs, using SMs without checking expiry dates or without reading the instructions, using SMs during pregnancy or lactation, and continued use of SMs despite lack of improvement were identified among 5%, 12%, 39%, 11%, and 33% of participants, respectively.ConclusionsAn inappropriate level of awareness and a high prevalence of risky practices related to SM were identified among the studied sample of adults in KSA. It is critical to raise public awareness of SM to avoid SM-related health concerns.
