“…The human resources for health crisis has been described [21], as have the effects of instability on the country's research agenda [22]. These effects have similarly been assessed with regard to health planning in the country since the first National Health Development Plan (PNDS) was introduced in 1997, pointing towards the negative impact of political instability and state fragility to the extent of hindering the implementation of the first PNDS [23].…”

Chronic Political Instability and the HIV/AIDS Response in Guinea-Bissau from 2000 to 2015: A Systematic Review

et al. 2021

Guinea-Bissau suffers from political instability and an unusually high HIV/AIDS burden compared to other countries in the West Africa region. We conducted a systematic review on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Guinea-Bissau during the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) period (2000–2015), which dovetailed with a period of chronic political instability in the country’s history. We searched published works on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Guinea-Bissau for references to chronic political instability. Six databases and the grey literature were searched, informed by expert opinion and manual research through reference tracing. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. The search yielded 122 articles about HIV/AIDS in Guinea-Bissau during the MDG years. Biomedical, clinical, or epidemiological research predominated public health research production on HIV/AIDS in Guinea-Bissau in this period. Six articles addressing themes related to chronic political instability, including how political instability has affected the HIV/AIDS disease response, were identified. The results suggest the importance of considering a broader political epidemiology that accounts for socio-political aspects such as governance, human rights, and community responses into which any national HIV/AIDS response is integrated.

“…Most studies were published in 2018, followed by 2012, 2015, and 2017 (60.9% of publications). We identi ed the following meta-evaluation objects (i.e., evaluations assessed): Family Health Strategy [26,27,42,46]; external evaluation of the National Program for Access and Quality Improvement in Primary Care {PMAQ-AB) [37,39,45]; health management [33,40,41]; children health [25,28,32]; tuberculosis [29,47]; health of rural women [38]; mental health [34]; guideline and prescription of drugs [36]; International Healthy Cities Movement [31]; health development [43]; assistance development [44]; professional capacitation [30]; and primary care projects [35]. Most meta-evaluations were qualitative (56.5%).…”

Background: The evaluation of health policies and programs expanded in both practical and theoretical-methodological fields, with a strong influence on health system quality, decisions of managers, sustainability, and improvement of the primary care services. However, guaranteeing the qualification and credibility of the evaluation processes using meta-evaluations is a huge challenge for evaluators. This review aimed to map meta-evaluation use in Primary Health Care evaluative studies.Methods: We conducted a scoping review based on the Joanna Briggs Institute manual and guided by PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). A systematic and comprehensive three-step search was performed in January and February 2021 in multidisciplinary health science databases and gray literature. No limits concerning publication dates were set. Data extraction and eligibility were performed by two independent authors and interpreted using thematic analysis. The themes were collated, and a narrative summary of the findings reported.Results: There were 11,641 potential studies identified from the search, finally, 23 studies were included in the analysis. Four thematic groups were identified: search results; characteristics of the included studies; meta- evaluation type, involved stakeholders, and Evaluative standards applied; potentialities and challenges in the meta-evaluation primary health care. Most were summative meta-evaluations focusing on health programs and primary care management and followed the quality standards of the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation. We observed low involvement of service users and active participation of managers, health professionals, researchers like stakeholders. We also highlight the importance of formative and democratic meta-evaluations expanding the use of evaluations.Conclusion: Results showed the potential and challenges of using meta-evaluation in primary health care during or when the evaluations have been completed. Highlighted the importance of permanent and systematic analysis of the quality of evaluations. Meta-evaluators have the technical responsibility of the evaluation process, stimulus to the action of those involved, and decision-making capacity. There is a paucity of published literature on meta-evaluation in primary health care. Hence, further studies are recommended to qualify the processes and results of the evaluations capable of contributing to the improvement and qualification of public policies and health practices.

“…The Health System in Guinea-Bissau Guinea-Bissau is strongly dependent on agriculture and fisheries and is among the poorest countries on Earth, with 67% population living below $1.90 USD/day. The health sector in Guinea-Bissau suffers from a lack of financial and material resources, as well as a lack of specialised human resources (Guerreiro et al, 2017(Guerreiro et al, , 2018aRusso et al, 2017;Guerreiro, 2019). The national health system is organised into three levels: central, regional and local (Supplementary Table 2).…”

Agroforest mosaics represent one of the most extensive human-impacted terrestrial systems worldwide and play an increasingly critical role in wildlife conservation. In such dynamic shared landscapes, coexistence can be compromised if people view wildlife as a source of infectious disease. A cross-disciplinary One Health knowledge base can help to identify evolving proponents and threats to sustainable coexistence and establish long-term project goals. Building on an existing knowledge base of human–wildlife interactions at Cantanhez National Park (NP), Guinea-Bissau, we developed a causal pathway Theory-of-Change approach in response to a newly identified disease threat of leprosy in the Critically Endangered western chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus). The goals of our project are to improve knowledge and surveillance of leprosy in humans and wildlife and increase capacity to manage human–wildlife interactions. We describe the core project activities that aim to (1) quantify space use by chimpanzees across Cantanhez NP and determine the distribution of leprosy in chimpanzees; (2) understand the health system and local perceptions of disease; and (3) identify fine-scale risk sites through participatory mapping of resources shared by humans and chimpanzees across target villages. We discuss the development of a biodiversity and health monitoring programme, an evidence-based One Health campaign, and a One Health environmental management plan that incorporates the sharing of space and resources, and the disease implications of human–non-human great ape interactions. We demonstrate the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement, and the development of strategy that fully considers interactions between people, wildlife, and the environment.
