Topics Publications HRP research programme About us Staff Contact us Task sharing to improve access to Family Planning/Contraception Summary brief Authors : WHO Publication details Number of pages : 12 Publication date : 2017 Languages : English WHO reference number : WHO/RHR/17.20 Downloads Task sharing to improve access to Family Planning/Contraception pdf, 268 kB Français Contraception is an inexpensive and cost-effective intervention, but health workforce shortages and restrictive policies on the roles of mid- and lower-level cadres limit access to effective contraceptive methods in many settings. Expanding the provision of contraceptive methods to other health worker cadres can significantly improve access to contraception for all individuals and couples. Many countries have already enabled mid- and lower-level cadres of health workers to deliver a range of contraceptive methods, utilizing these cadres either alone or as part of teams within communities and/or health care facilities The WHO recognizes task sharing as a promising strategy for addressing the critical lack of health care workers to provide reproductive, maternal and newborn care in low-income countries.

Larvae can be detected by acoustic methods, but with current technology, skilled persons must identify where to insert acoustic probes, and they must use complicated signal analyses to help distinguish RPW sounds from other insects and background noise. (...) In this report, we present examples of how combinations of microcontrollers with inexpensive microphone systems, or somewhat more expensive piezoelectric devices that are extremely sensitive to insect movement and feeding vibrations, can be used for auralization, storage, and digital signal processing of insect sounds in trees in field environments.

  Recent technological developments

Polycaprolactone has become popular because it naturally degrades in the environment, is inexpensive to produce and is not reliant upon petroleum plastic production (Sabry and Ragaei, 2018). (...) Enhanced breeding for resistance Another opportunity for the use of nanotechnology in agriculture is as a delivery method for DNA transfer in plants to promote resistance to pests (Rai and Ingle, 2012; Sabry and Ragaei, 2018), thereby reducing the use of potentially environmentally harmful chemical pesticides. It has been proposed that nanoparticles could be used to passively deliver nuclease-based genome editing payloads as a method of plant genetic engineering. This method would overcome challenges to current gene transfer methods (such as gene-gun and ultrasound) caused by the physical barrier of a multi-layered and rigid plant cell wall that has caused progress in plant genetic engineering to lag behind that in animal systems (Cunningham et al ., 2018).

Soil properties and health assessment tools The tools for assessing soil properties and health are taken from the VS-Fast methodology   (McGarry, 2006) and selected VSA methods of Shepherd (2000). The emphasis is on the assessment , both qualitative and quantitative , of soil physical condition conducted during field visits . The core set of indicators used provides a robust, yet rapid and inexpensive approach to assessing the following soil characteristics and rating them and a scorecard established for the overall assessment of soil health: description of the soil sample (depth, texture, structure, colour, layering); aggregate size distribution; soil crust; tillage and other pans; biota (particularly earthworms and roots); slaking and dispersion; pH; water infiltration; organic carbon; soil and water salinity Local Soil Erosion Assessment Sorting of soil aggregates in Kazakhstan The presence of soil erosion in arable, forest and pasturelands is a prime indicator of soil  degradation by water or by wind ; often caused  by a reduction in protective vegetation cover.
