“…In High Income Countries, these types of intervention usually combine parental education, social service referral and social support for families [ 32 ]. In contexts such as Nigeria and Uganda, interventions that ensure gender equality in universal access to primary and secondary education are also needed [ 33 , 34 ].…”

Background Africa is the global region where modern-slavery is most prevalent, especially among women and girls. Despite the severe health consequences of human trafficking, evidence on the risks and experiences of trafficked adolescents and young women is scarce for the region. This paper addresses this gap by exploring the intersections between violence, migration and exploitation among girls and young women identified as trafficking survivors in Nigeria and Uganda. Methods We conducted secondary analysis of the largest routine dataset on human trafficking survivors. We used descriptive statistics to report the experiences of female survivors younger than 25 years-old from Nigeria and Uganda. We also conducted 16 semi-structured interviews with adolescents identified as trafficked in both countries. We used thematic analysis to explore participants’ perceptions and experiences before, during and after the trafficking situation. Results Young female survivors of human trafficking in Nigeria and Uganda are exposed to a range of experiences of violence before migration, during transit and at destination. The qualitative data revealed that children and adolescents migrated to escape family poverty, violence and neglect. They had very low levels of education and most had their studies interrupted before migrating. Family members and close social contacts were the most common intermediaries for their migration. During transit, sexual violence and hunger were common, especially among Nigerians. Participants in both the quantitative and qualitative studies reported high levels of violence, deception, coercion, withheld wages and poor working conditions at destination. The adolescents interviewed in the qualitative study reported severe mental suffering, including suicide attempts. Only one reported the prosecution of perpetrators. Conclusions Our findings suggest that interventions to prevent or mitigate the negative impact of adverse childhood experiences can contribute to preventing the trafficking of adolescents in Nigeria and Uganda. These interventions include social protection mechanisms, universal access to education, social service referrals and education of parents and carers. Importantly, effective prevention also needs to address the systemic conditions that makes trafficking of female adolescents invisible, profitable and inconsequential for perpetrators.

“…The data generated through telephone interviews were compared continuously and related to political mistrust and spread of COVID-19 in Nigeria. Ezeibe et al ( , 2019b argued that this is a logical way to validate qualitative data. The final manuscript was subjected to member check by the authors in order to enhance the accuracy of interpretations of responses (Koelsch, 2013).…”

While studies have explored how health sector corruption, weak healthcare system, large-scale immune compromised population, misinformation and prevalence of highly congested slums contribute to the spread of COVID-19 in Nigeria, they have glossed over the impact of political distrust on the spread of the virus. This study explores the impact of political distrust on the spread of COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria. The study utilised qualitative dominant mixed methods approach comprising telephone interviews and a survey of 120 educated Nigerians purposively selected from four COVID-19 most affected states including Lagos, Oyo, Kano and Rivers as well as the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The study also relied on secondary data on the spread of COVID-19 in Nigeria sourced from Nigeria Centre for Diseases Control from 27 February to 31st August 2020. The study found that political corruption motivates large-scale political distrust. This undermines public compliance to government protocols, limits the outcomes of government responses to COVID-19 and facilitates the spread of the virus in Nigeria. The paper concludes that improving government accountability in the public sector management is relevant for building public trust, promoting citizens' compliance to COVID-19 safety measure and mitigating the spread of the pandemic in Nigeria and beyond.

“…Stunting merupakan ancaman utama terhadap kualitas manusia Indonesia dan kemampuan daya saing bangsa. Stunting menjadi masalah kekurangan gizi secara kronis, karena kurangnya asupan nutrisi dalam waktu yang cukup lama yang mengakibatkan gangguan pertumbuhan pada anak (Ezeibe et al, 2021;Fry et al, 2020). Anak yang mengalami gizi kronis ditandai dengan tinggi badan yang lebih rendah atau pendek (kerdil) dari standar usianya (Beal et al, 2018;Wati et al, 2022).…”

This article aims to explore local experiences in improving the health quality of children suffering from malnutrition (stunting) in Rundeng Village, Johan Pahlawan Subdistrict, West Aceh Regency. This study was conducted through a community engagement process utilizing the operational steps of community development practices. The research findings indicate that the stages of implementing health quality improvement for stunting cases involved two main methods: the construction of decent housing and the provision of supplementary nutrition to the Pertamina Meulaboh mentoring group through the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. The research implications provide important guidance in the process of reducing stunting cases, emphasizing the importance of planning innovations and third-party interventions in improving health quality, especially in villages that have not been reached by sustainable development programs. However, this study has its own unique characteristics in terms of practical aspects that may not be generalized to different locations, thus requiring a broader examination of the scope and operational domain of different research.
