RAIS mstaafu wa Marekani, George W. Bush na mkewe, Laura, wanatarajiwa kuwasili nchini mwezi ujao ambapo watahutubia kongamano litakalojadili wajibu wa wake za marais katika kuinua wanawake duniani.

Taasisi ya George Bush ndiyo imeandaa kongamano hilo litakalofanyika Dar es Salaam kuanzia Julai 2 hadi 3.

Taarifa iliyotolewa jana na taasisi hiyo kwa vyombo vya habari, ilisema kongamano hilo, litahudhuriwa pia na mke wa Rais Barack Obama wa Marekani, Michelle na muasisi wa Taasisi ya Wanawake ya Cherie, Cherie Blair ambaye ni mke wa Waziri Mkuu wa zamani wa Uingereza, Tony Blair.

Wake wengine wa marais wa Afrika watakaohudhuria ni Mama Salma Kikwete, Chantal Campaore wa Burkina Faso, Roman Tesfaye wa Ethiopia, Maria da Luz Dai Guebuza (Msumbiji), Penehupifo Pohamba (Namibia), Sia Nyama Koroma (Sierra Leone), Janet Museveni (Uganda) na Christine Kaseba wa Zambia.

Kongamano hilo litajikita zaidi katika kujadili masuala ya kuwekeza kwa wake, kuimarisha Afrika lakini pia wajibu wa wake za marais kuhamasisha wanawake katika maeneo ya elimu, afya na kuwakwamua kiuchumi.

“Kongamano hili litakutanisha pamoja wake za marais, maofisa wa Serikali, mashirika binafsi, Asasi Zisizo za Serikali (AZISE) na wasomi kujadili mambo muhimu ya kuchukuliwa hatua ili kunufaisha wanawake,” ilisema taarifa hiyo.

Aidha, mada zitakazowasilishwa na kujadiliwa katika kongamano hilo ni kuinua wajasiriamali wanawake kiuchumi kupitia mafunzo na teknolojia, kupatia fursa wanawake wakulima kwa kupewa mafunzo ya kilimo cha kisasa, mafunzo kuhusu saratani ya matiti na umuhimu wa elimu kwa wanawake.

Kongamano hilo linafanyika sambamba na ujio wa Rais Obama anayetarajiwa kuwasili nchini mwanzoni mwa mwezi ujao.

Don't ever say you're lonely
Just lay your problems on me
And I'll be waiting there for you
The stars can be so blinding
When you get tired of fighting
You know the one you can look to

[Bridge]
When the vision you have gets blurry
You don't have to worry, I'll be your eyes
It's the least I can do, cause when I fell, you pulled me through
So you k

[Chorus]
Ill carry you, Ill carry you, Ill carry you
So you know that
Ill carry you, Ill carry you, Ill carry you

Ill carry you

So you know that

[Chorus] x 2
Ill carry you, Ill carry you, Ill carry you
So you know that
Ill carry you, Ill carry you, Ill carry you.

Project title: Peri-domestic wildlife in urban Nairobi: ecology and epidemiological role in zoonotic pathogen emergence

A PhD opportunity is available for a wildlife disease ecologist, preferably with a relevant Masters level degree, with quantitative skills and with an interest in the epidemiology of pathogen transmission/emergence in natural populations.

The studentship, supervised by Professor Eric Fèvre, will be based at the Institute of Infection and Global Health, University of Liverpool, working closely with partners in other institutions in the UK and Kenya. This studentship will involve extensive periods of time in the field in Kenya.

The student will be part of the large, multi-centre “Epidemiology, ecology and socio-economics of disease emergence in Nairobi” (Urban-Zoo) project funded by the UK Research Council Environmental and Social Ecology of Human Infectious Diseases (ESEI) initiative. Urban-Zoo is an interdisciplinary project aiming to understand the mechanisms leading to the emergence of pathogens into urban populations, and their subsequent spread. Further details of the overall research programme are available at http://www.zoonoticdiseases.org/home/research/urbanzoonoses. The PhD will be co-supervised by members of the project consortium, and will involve working closely not only with the specific expertise relevant to the project, but also with economists, public health and veterinary public health practitioners, social scientists, epidemiologists and urban planners. The project will involve interacting with policy makers and a formal policy advice process in both the UK and Kenya.

The focus of the PhD project will be on the ecology of peri-domestic wildlife species (eg rodents, scavenging birds) in the city of Nairobi, Kenya, and their role in microbial movement through different ecological niches within the city.

Questions to be addressed are:

1) What is the nature of the peri-domestic wildlife interaction with domestic livestock, food products and humans in an urban setting?

2) What is the diversity and community assemblage of both micro-organisms and macro-parasites in the peri-domestic species?

3) How does microbial and parasitic diversity in peri-domestic wildlife change along gradients of human and domestic animal population densities, and other markers of urbanization?

4) Is there evidence of parasite co-infection dynamics in urban peridomestic species?

5) Lastly, could the parasite community assemblage influence the probability of cross species transfer of zoonotic transmission?

Urbanized environments in Africa are melting pots of activity and interaction: the wealthy live alongside the poor; livestock live alongside people; peridomestic species have intimate contact with humans and their waste; human and animal movements take place in internal and externally connected networks. This degree of mixing and contact creates ecological niches with opportunities for pathogen transmission across species. Urban settings maintain diverse species of peri-domestic rodents and birds (Castillo et al. , 2003), and a number of them are likely to be important in the microbial landscape in a city like Nairobi as they not only live in close proximity to humans (Mohr et al. , 2007) (Pomeroy, 1975), but they are important scavengers on waste products (refuse, abattoir waste, etc). Thus they may play an important role as liaison hosts (Ashford, 2003) to humans or livestock. This project addresses a set of questions as part of a wider research programme on disease emergence in urban settings.

This successful candidate will work in an interdisciplinary field and laboratory team, and would be expected to master the application of several research tools: there will be a field element, trapping peri-domestic wildlife species (in Nairobi, and elsewhere) using various ecological sampling techniques, habitat mapping, biological sample collection for bacterial culture and macroparasite identification and quantification, followed by microbial typing as well as complete genome sequencing and analysis of SNP data from isolated organisms.
