Abstract:
Background: Child stunting reflects chronic under-nutrition, which often begins before birth and is almost irreversible after the second year of life. Globally, by 2018, an estimated 140 million children under the age of 5 years were stunted. Over one-third each lived in South East Asia (34.4%) and Eastern and South Africa (33.6%). This condition puts children at disadvantages due to partly irreversible physical and cognitive damage. This poorly nourished beginning has consequences that include persistent poverty, worsening inequality, higher health care costs and weaker national economies. Early detection of stunting is a key factor to any prevention strategy. Objective: To examine the relationship between child, maternal, household, and gender inequality characteristics with early onset of child stunting in Kenya and Cambodia. Methods: The study analyzed data from the 2014 Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) in Kenya and Cambodia for children under age 2. Bivariate and logistic regression analyses were performed to find associations between the variables and child stunting. Results: The prevalence of stunting among children under age 2 in Kenya was 22%, and in Cambodia, 25%. Child’s age, perceived birth size, family wealth status, and region of residence were significantly associated with stunting. In both countries children from the richest households had 0.4 times lower odds of being stunted compared with those from the poorest households. In Kenya, female children had 0.6 times lower odds of being stunted compared with male children. In Cambodia, children from rural areas had 0.6 times lower odds of being stunted compared with those from urban areas, while children whose mothers were underweight had 1.7 times higher odds of being stunted than children whose mothers were not underweight. In both countries, there was general lack of a strong and significant relationship between the DHS indicators of gender inequality and child stunting. Conclusions: Children’s characteristics, household wealth and maternal underweight were more important in predicting stunting in these children under two years of age than factors related to gender inequality. A more extensive analysis of future DHS data that includes other aspects of gender inequality such as decisions on choice and preparation of food, purchase of household goods, as well as gender-based barriers to provision of child care might provide additional insights on that potential determinant of early stunting.

Abstract:
Menstrual hygiene management and health is increasingly gaining policy importance in a bid to promote dignity, gender equality and reproductive health. Effective and adequate menstrual hygiene management requires women and girls to have access to their menstrual health materials and products of choice, but also extends into having private, clean and safe spaces for using these materials. The paper provides empirical evidence of the inequality in menstrual hygiene management in Kinshasa (DRC), Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Rajasthan (India), Indonesia, Nigeria and Uganda using concentration indices and decomposition methods. There is consistent evidence of wealth-related inequality in the conditions of menstrual hygiene management spaces as well as access to sanitary pads across all countries. Wealth, education, the rural-urban divide and infrastructural limitations of the household are major contributors to these inequalities. While wealth is identified as one of the key drivers of unequal access to menstrual hygiene management, other socio-economic, environmental and household factors require urgent policy attention. This specifically includes the lack of safe MHM spaces which threaten the health and dignity of women and girls.

Abstract:
Neo-Pentecostal or born-again language and understandings are highly prominent in Kenya. They were especially visible during the general election of 2013 in which the victorious Jubilee coalition campaigned using a narrative according to which the nation was being washed clean of past sins, redeemed, and born again. This was attractive to and reflected the desires of Kenyans seeking to move beyond the horrors of the postelection violence that occurred in 2007-2008. This provides an invaluable lens for conceptualising current Kenyan understandings of African Christianity and how these relate to politics and contemporary socioeconomic conditions. More specifically, this paper argues that in 2013 a popular desire for health and wealth, and deference to authority came together with personal but abstract repentance and forgiveness narratives. This contributed to a peaceful election but restricted the means through which criticism might be voiced and helps to maintain structural inequality and impunity.

Abstract:
Background Though institutional delivery plays a significant role in maternal and child health, there is substantial evidence that the majority of rural women have lower health facility delivery than urban women. So, identifying the drivers of these disparities will help policy-makers and programmers with the reduction of maternal and child death. Methods The study used the data on a nationwide representative sample from the most recent rounds of the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) of four East African countries. A Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition analysis and its extensions was conducted to see the urban-rural differences in institutional delivery into two components: one that is explained by residence difference in the level of the determinants (covariate effects), and the other components was explained by differences in the effect of the covariates on the outcome (coefficient effects). Results The findings showed that institutional delivery rates were 21.00% in Ethiopia, 62.61% in Kenya, 65.29% in Tanzania and 74.64% in Uganda. The urban-rural difference in institutional delivery was higher in the case of Ethiopia (61%), Kenya (32%) and Tanzania (30.3%), while the gap was relatively lower in the case of Uganda (19.2%). Findings of the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition and its extension showed that the covariate effect was dominant in all study countries. The results were robust to the different decomposition weighting schemes. The frequency of antenatal care, wealth and parity inequality between urban and rural households explains most of the institutional delivery gap. Conclusions The urban-rural institutional delivery disparities were high in study countries. By identifying the underlying factors behind the urban-rural institutional birth disparities, the findings of this study help in designing effective intervention measures targeted at reducing residential inequalities and improving population health outcomes. Future interventions to encourage institutional deliveries to rural women of these countries should therefore emphasize increasing rural women’s income, access to health care facilities to increase the frequency of antenatal care utilization.

Abstract:
IntroductionNeonatal mortality is an urgent policy priority to improve global population health and reduce health inequality. As health systems in Kenya and elsewhere seek to tackle increased neonatal mortality by improving the quality of care, one option is to train and employ neonatal healthcare assistants (NHCAs) to support professional nurses by taking up low-skill tasks.MethodsMonte-Carlo simulation was performed to estimate the potential impact of introducing NHCAs in neonatal nursing care in four public hospitals in Nairobi on effectively treated newborns and staff costs over a period of 10 years. The simulation was informed by data from 3 workshops with >10 stakeholders each, hospital records and scientific literature. Two univariate sensitivity analyses were performed to further address uncertainty.ResultsStakeholders perceived that 49% of a nurse full-time equivalent could be safely delegated to NHCAs in standard care, 31% in intermediate care and 20% in intensive care. A skill-mix with nurses and NHCAs would require ~2.6 billionKenyan Shillings (KES) (US$26 million) to provide quality care to 58% of all newborns in need (ie, current level of coverage in Nairobi) over a period of 10 years. This skill-mix configuration would require ~6 billion KES (US$61 million) to provide quality of care to almost all newborns in need over 10 years.ConclusionChanging skill-mix in hospital care by introducing NHCAs may be an affordable way to reduce neonatal mortality in low/middle-income countries. This option should be considered in ongoing policy discussions and supported by further evidence.

Abstract:
ObjectiveThe objective of this analysis was to examine trends in malaria parasite prevalence and related socioeconomic inequalities in malaria indicators from 2006 to 2013 during a period of intensification of malaria control interventions in Siaya County, western Kenya.MethodsData were analysed from eight independent annual cross-sectional surveys from a combined sample of 19 315 individuals selected from 7253 households. Study setting was a health and demographic surveillance area of western Kenya. Data collected included demographic factors, household assets, fever and medication use, malaria parasitaemia by microscopy, insecticide-treated bed net (ITN) use and care-seeking behaviour. Households were classified into five socioeconomic status and dichotomised into poorest households (poorest 60%) and less poor households (richest 40%). Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) were calculated using a multivariate generalised linear model accounting for clustering and cox proportional hazard for pooled data assuming constant follow-up time.ResultsOverall, malaria infection prevalence was 36.5% and was significantly higher among poorest individuals compared with the less poor (39.9% vs 33.5%, aPR=1.17; 95% CI 1.11 to 1.23) but no change in prevalence over time (trend p value <0.256). Care-seeking (61.1% vs 62.5%, aPR=0.99; 95% CI 0.95 to 1.03) and use of any medication were similar among the poorest and less poor. Poorest individuals were less likely to use Artemether-Lumefantrine or quinine for malaria treatment (18.8% vs 22.1%, aPR=0.81, 95% CI 0.72 to 0.91) while use of ITNs was lower among the poorest individuals compared with less poor (54.8% vs 57.9%; aPR=0.95; 95% CI 0.91 to 0.99), but the difference was negligible.ConclusionsDespite attainment of equity in ITN use over time, socioeconomic inequalities still existed in the distribution of malaria. This might be due to a lower likelihood of treatment with an effective antimalarial and lower use of ITNs by poorest individuals. Additional strategies are necessary to reduce socioeconomic inequities in prevention and control of malaria in endemic areas in order to achieve universal health coverage and sustainable development goals.

Abstract:
Background: Poor latrine conditions, structure, and design may deter latrine use and provoke reversion to open defecation (OD). Statistics show that only 18% of the households in Turkana County, Kenya, have access to a latrine facility with most of these facilities in poor structural designs and poor hygienic conditions, which encourages rampant OD practices. Aim: This article reports on quantitative aspects of a larger cross-sectional survey to assess latrine structure, design, and conditions, and the practice of OD in Lodwar. Methods: An observational study was carried out to examine latrine conditions, structure, and design in Lodwar, Kenya. A standardized questionnaire was also used to collect quantitative data. Stratified random sampling technique was employed to select respondents for this study with the sample drawn from 4 administrative units of Lodwar town covering the low-, medium-, and high-income households. Data were managed using Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) software. Results: Nineteen percent of the sampled households did not possess a latrine facility at their homesteads with 73% of the latrines constructed using poor materials (mud, mats, polythene bags, and grass). Twenty percent of the respondents were scared of using a latrine with the main reason being loose soils that do not support strong constructions. Eighty-seven percent of the respondents agreed that the presence of feces on the latrine floor encouraged the practice of OD and 321 (80%) respondents stated that the latrine construction materials influenced latrine ownership and its subsequent use. Conclusions: Respondents attributed rampant OD practices to poor latrine structure, design, and conditions. In addition, rampant cases of latrine sharing result in latrine filthiness, which eventually encourages OD practice. Inequality in sanitation, among counties, should be addressed in Kenya. The government should take charge of provision of good-quality communal latrines to the less-privileged societies like Turkana. Community empowerment and introduction of a small fee for cleaning and maintenance of these facilities will also improve their conditions. Ending the practice of OD will lead to increased positive public health and environmental outcomes in the study area

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 66-70).
This study examines the influence of socio-economic inequalities on the probability of conflict in Kenya and aims to synthesise various causal hypotheses in the literature. This research extends to a regional analysis of a cross-national sample to understand the extent to which structural cleavages account for a cause of potential conflict in Kenya. The post-election violence that emerged in 2008 shed light on the urgency for policy reforms to address the root causes of what was viewed as an imminent outbreak of violence. Various analysts trace the origin of conflict to nepotism, ethnic stratification, historical injustices, poor governance and disparities in resource allocation. Given these sources of dissent, this study proposes that the most fundamental factors that considerably influence the probability of conflict in Kenya are pervasive poverty and extreme inequality, intensified by ethnic divisions. Based on Kuznets theory, we argue that the booms of economic growth experienced from 2003 perpetuated the stark economic and social inequalities prevalent in Kenya. As a result, there is strong evidence that suggests that these sharp inequalities fuelled the post-election violence and deeply influence the probability of conflict in Kenyan society. Another key contribution from the study is the conclusion that the existence of sharp horizontal inequalities result in a bias towards ethnic conflict. It is imperative to identify the underlying causes of conflict so as to neutralise polarisation which exacerbates tension and breeds further conflict. In light of this view, the probability of conflict in Kenya can be minimised effectively and such mitigation can be used as a mechanism for future growth and economic development in Kenya.

Abstract:
Denna studie syftar till att utvärdera det kenyanska utvecklingsprojektet och NGO:n Nikumbuke som på grund av landets patriarkala strukturer har som mål att stärka de deltagande kvinnorna. Vi har genom att delta i projektet som volontärer studerat vilka metoder Nikumbuke arbetar med för att uppnå sitt mål och undersökt vad effekterna blir för deltagarna samt vilka eventuella svårigheter projektet möter. För att kunna uppfylla studiens syfte har en kvalitativ ansats tillämpats där en utvärderingsmetod i kombination med effektanalys väglett studien. Empirin har samlats in med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer, gruppintervjuer samt deltagande observationer. Relevant tidigare forskning samt teoretiska utgångspunkter bestående av Tillys teori om beständig ojämlikhet, empowermentbegreppet samt Bourdieus teori om kapitalformer, habitus och fält har applicerats vid analysen av det empiriska materialet. Resultatet av studien visar att Nikumbukes metoder ger kvinnorna verktyg att öka deras möjligheter och kapitalvolym vilket leder till empowerment, men att de sociala normerna, traditionerna och strukturella hinder som råder i landet är svårföränderliga och utgör ett hinder i arbetet med att stärka kvinnorna. Då Nikumbuke dessutom är en NGO med begränsade ekonomiska resurser riskerar deras ekonomiska beroendeställning att förlänga utvecklingsprocessen och skapa långvariga effekter.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Kenyan development project and NGO Nikumbuke, which aims to empower the participating women due to patriarchal structures in the country. We have participated in the project as volunteers and studied the methods that Nikumbuke uses to achieve their goal and examined the experienced effects for the participants and possible difficulties that the project may face. To fulfill the purpose of this study a qualitative method was used. Additionally an evaluation method in combination with an analysis that focuses on the effects of the project has guided us throughout the work. The material was collected using semi-structured interviews, group interviews and participating observation. Relevant earlier research and theories consisting of Tillys theory about resistant inequality, empowerment and Bourdieus theory on the capital forms, habitus and field were used to analyze the empirical material. The result shows that the methods Nikumbuke use provides the women with tools to improve their abilities and capital volume that leads to empowerment, however the social norms, traditions and structural obstacles in Kenya are still problems that are difficult to change. Furthermore the fact that Nikumbuke is a NGO with limited economic resources makes the project dependent of others and risks extending the process of long term development effects.

Abstract:
This thesis is motivated by the intuition that current extremes of global health inequality and deprivation constitute moral problems of the utmost importance. It aims to advance our understanding of how we should think about and be morally guided in our responses to global health inequality by engaging critically with literature and arguments at the intersection of global health, public health and social justice. Part I addresses the more conceptual question of how we should think about global health inequality. I suggest that we reject international empirical, operational and normative accounts of global health inequality in favour of genuinely global approaches. I suggest five core features of public health practice and ask whether they are meaningful at the global level. I find no argument for why the features of public health may not relate to the global sphere convincing and therefore tentatively conclude that we might think of global health inequality as a matter of public health. Part II addresses the more normative question of how we should be morally guided in our responses to global health inequality. Through engagement with the public health ethics literature I propose two roles for justice as a core public health value. First, justice may be an ethical principle guiding how public health is practiced, and second justice may provide the normative justification for why public health is practiced. I identify existing accounts of public health ethics and theories of justice reflecting these twin justice roles and evaluate how well they can morally guide our responses to global health inequality. I conclude by suggesting that public health may be a social institution governed by the principles ofjustice at the global level and that public health may be a human right which should be globally fulfilled as requirement of justice.

Abstract:
In the formerly forested highlands overlooking Kenya's Rift Valley from the boundary of Narok District, rights in land are highly contested. Disputes revolve around a central question: who belongs at Enoosupukia and to whom does Enoosupukia belong? For a core community who call this place their ancestral home, uncertainty about the answer translates to a pervasive sense of insecurity and hardship; faced with a diverse array of competing claims from a constellation of actors, including non-local members of several ethnic and sub-ethnic collectivities as well as local and central branches of the Kenyan state, residents of Enoosupukia seek to alleviate their problems by negotiating recognition of their claims to belonging. In so doing, they deploy a variety of strategies, from lobbying for the completion of land registration and titling to forging and maintaining connections with appointed and elected officials who can act as patrons and protect them from unfavourable interventions. While these strategies have resulted in limited success thus far and locals currently enjoy the ability to occupy and make use of the land they claim as their own, though not necessarily in all the ways they would like to, their continued presence in the highlands is tenuous, subject to frequent challenges, and contingent upon constant negotiation. This thesis is organized around a modified version of the intensely political central question of belonging at Enoosupukia; rather than evaluating claims and claimants to determine who belongs and to whom the place belongs, I ask how belonging is negotiated and contested, through what practices and according to which principles. Further, I ask whether and how recognition and legitimacy of particular claims, if only fleeting, are established. Taking neither insecurity nor inequality to be inherent, I examine how they have been historically produced and continue to be socially reproduced via conflict and compromise. Moreover, I explore the ways in which insecurity and inequality converge in the cultural politics of property when not only specific claims and practices with respect to the occupation, use, and ownership of land but also the cultural and political logics underpinning those claims and practices are contested. Given that struggles over belonging are ongoing, I do not identify ultimate winners and losers in this thesis; however, I do point to the ways in which uncertainty perpetuates advantage and disadvantage for different actors, reproducing insecurity and hardship for some while directing benefits, even if not permanent ones, to others.
Dans les hautes terres du Kenya donnant sur la Vallée du Rift à la frontière du District de Narok, les droits à la terre sont fortement contestés. Les disputes tournent autour d'une question centrale: qui appartient à Enoosupukia et à qui appartient Enoosupukia? Pour le noyau communautaire qui le considère son chez-soi, l'incertitude face à ces questions génère un sentiment d'insécurité. Confrontés à des revendications concurrentes de divers acteurs, incluant des membres « non-locaux » de collectivités ethniques et sous-ethniques, ainsi que les branches locales et centrales de l'État kényan, les résidents d'Enoosupukia cherchent à négocier la reconnaissance de leur appartenance. Ce faisant, ils déploient une variété de stratégies, incluant du lobbying pour l'engregistrement des titres fonciers, et l'établissement de liens avec les fonctionnaires ou les élus qui peuvent les protéger contre des interventions défavorables. Bien que ces stratégies eurent un succès limité et que les habitants continuent d'occuper et d'exploiter « leur » terre, leur présence continuelle reste précaire, soumise à de fréquents défis, et dépendante de négociations constantes.Cette thèse s'articule autour d'une version modifiée de la question politique concernant l'appartenance à Enoosupukia. Au lieu d'évaluer les requêtes et les requérants pour déterminer qui appartient et à qui appartient ces terres, je demande comment l'appartenance est négociée et contestée, à travers quelles pratiques et selon quels principes? Est-ce que la reconnaissance et la légitimité des revendications, mêmes temporaires, sont établies et comment le sont-elles? J'examine comment l'insécurité et l'inégalité sont historiquement produites et comment elles sont socialement reproduites par l'entremise du conflit et du compromis. J'explore comment l'insécurité et l'inégalité qui se retrouvent dans les politiques culturelles de la propriété sont contestées, que ce soit concernant l'occupation, l'usage et la possession de la terre, ou les logiques culturelle et politique sous-jacentes à ces revendications. Les grands gagnants ou perdants ne sont pas identifiés dans cette thèse étant donné que les luttes d'appartenance sont toujours en cours; par contre, j'indique les manières dont l'incertitude perpétue les avantages et les désavantages pour une variété d'acteurs, perpétuant l'insécurité et les difficultés pour certains alors que d'autres en tirent des bénéfices temporaires.
