This story of change is part of a series that illustrates the early results of a 2-Week Virtual LEEPS Evidence-Informed and Equity in Policymaking Training Workshop delivered to members of the Africa Research Impact Network (ARIN) who attended the training. The stories of change illustrate how the training has improved the training of researchers in higher learning institutions, grant writing, advocacy strategies, research into policy and practice processes and project/ programme design and implementation.

The TEAM-UP Survey dataset was generated from the project titled; “Re-Examining Traditional Method Use: Desperation or Innovation? New Evidence on Traditional Contraceptive Methods in DRC, Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria” (TEAM-UP). This dataset contains data on socio-economic, demographic, contraceptive use and fertility behaviours of women aged 15-49 years in specific settings in the four study countries. The main focus of the data is to examine the effect of key survey methodological innovations on the estimation of traditional and modern contraceptive prevalence, and understanding the dynamics of contraceptive use. This dataset is available for use by researchers, policy makers and programmers, and […]

Irrigation farming has raised concerns about the steady transmission and introduction of new vector-borne infectious diseases (VBD) in the areas involved. This systematic review aimed to determine interventions that are effective for the management and control of VBDs in irrigation areas in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We searched the literature on VBD interventions in SSA from published and grey literature without specifying the publication year. A search strategy identified 7768 records from various databases, and after screening, 16 were included in the final analysis. Results showed various VBD control interventions were effective, including indoor residue spray (IRS), insect-treated nets (ITN), larva […]
This policy brief presents findings from a systematic review of interventions to manage vector-borne diseases (VBDs) in irrigation farming across sub-Saharan Africa. It highlights evidence of reduced vector densities, disease risk, and prevalence through approaches such as integrated vector management (IVM), larval source management, indoor residual spraying, long-lasting insecticide-treated nets, mollusciciding, biological control, and mass drug administration. The brief underscores the feasibility of integrating these interventions into irrigation schemes even post-construction, demonstrating both health and agricultural productivity benefits for surrounding communities.
