    ‘10 years after: an ‘austerity audit’ of services and living conditions for people living with HIV in the UK, a decade after the financial crisis.
    (HIV Psychosocial Network - London, 2018) Mulubale, S.
    Enormous progress has been made in tackling the HIV epidemic. Many people with HIV are leading healthy and happy lives, with fulfilling relationships and work. Yet problems remain. Significant numbers of people with HIV have health difficulties, those from less powerful communities may be ‘left behind’, and psychosocial issues related to HIV remain underaddressed. In addition, since 2008, the financial crisis and accompanying UK ‘austerity’ policies have generated cuts in health and especially social services that have severely affected HIV services and the lives of those living with the virus.

    The 2012 List of Health Facilities
    (University of Zambia, Medical Library, 2012) MInistry of Health
    This report presents information on the List of Health Facilities in the country, for 2012. It is the fourth (4th) publication that the Ministry of Health has produced since 2002 with subsequent ones produced in 2008 and 2010. It provides comparable cross-sectional facility statistics on key public health interventions being implemented at all levels of the health service delivery system. Since 2008, the Ministry has been compiling this information for dissemination to the general public, every after two (2) years with the recent publication done in 2010. Therefore, in view of the dynamic growth in the number of health facilities that have been established (especially health centres and health posts), it has become imperative for the Ministry to update this list so that the report is disseminated to the general public and other policy makers. Unlike the 2008 and 2010 Health Facility Listing reports that only covered limited information for each health facility, this report presents detailed information on the following aspects: (i) Background statistics for each health facility such as facility type, facility owner, number of beds & cots, number of outreach sites, distance from the health facility to the furthest outreach site and distance of facility from District Medical Office. (ii) Key health services offered for each health facility such as PMTCT, Male circumcision, HIV and VCT services, availability of TB diagnostic services, EMONC services, dental services, X-ray, availability of CD4 machine theatre , mother waiting shelter, among others. (iii) Main communication mode, source of power, water & SMARTCARE for each health facility (e.g. radio or telephone system), main source of power the health facility uses (hydro, gen. set or solar), water source (500m radius from HF ), among others. Suffice to also mention that the report has included information for Muchinga Province, created from districts that were part of Northern Province (i.e. Chinsali, Isoka, Mpika and Nakonde) and Eastern Province, i.e Chama. The new district of Mafinga which forms part of the sixth district of the new Province of Muchinga was created by taking the whole of Isoka East Constituency. Since the new province was created by taking the districts, without altering existing district boundaries, health facility totals for the newly created province of Muchinga, have been easily extracted from the original areas that were part of Northern and Eastern provinces, accordingly. This therefore means that the new totals for Northern and Eastern provinces are lower for 2012 compared to the previous reports published, due to loss of four (4) and one (1) district from Northern and Eastern provinces, respectively. It is my sincere hope that this publication would make it easier to find specific information about the level, location and key services provided by each health facilities in the country. It is also my expectation that this publication would assist in data analysis and use of infrastructure- based information by policy makers, programme managers and co-operating partners in addressing challenges related to improving access and utilization of health services. In order to further improve the contents and presentation of subsequent publications, any feedback on this report would be greatly appreciated.

    The 2014 Zambian revised literacy policy in primary schools: were teachers prepared to implement it?.
    (International Journal of Humanities Social Sciences and Education (IJHSSE), 2019-08) Kombe, Christine; Mwanza, David Sani
    The purpose of this study was to establish whether teachers were adequately prepared to implement the 2014 revised literacy policy in selected primary schools in Kitwe district on the Copperbelt. The objectives that guided this study were; to establish the extent to which in-service teachers were prepared to implement the revised policy and to establish the challenges teachers faced in the implementation of the 2014 revised literacy policy. The study employed qualitative descriptive design. Purposive sampling technique was used to come up with 134 respondents, that is, 103 classroom teachers, 30 lecturers and 1 District Resource personal. Data was collected through interviews and focus group discussions. Focus group discussions enabled respondents to give detailed views on the 2014 revised literacy policy while interviews were used to collect data from the district resource centre coordinator and college/school administrators. The study found that while some teachers were trained, others were not. Even after commissioning the policy in 2014, schools still lacked teaching resources with which they could implement the policy. Teacher training institutions were finding it challenging to comprehensively revise their teacher education programme because they did not fully understand the content of the 2014 revised policy. The study recommended wider consultation between policy makers and implementers during formulation and or revision of literacy policies.

    The 2018 research productivity of the university of Zambia.
    (Zambia Journal of Library & Information Science, 2022) Makondo, Francina N. S.; Kanyengo, Wamunyima Christine; Akakandelwa, Akakandelwa; Sitali, Wamundila; Moyo, Felicitas N.; Chewe, Pailet; Monde, Wamunyima Mercy; Phiri, Lighton; Kabilwa, Silumesi; Chitumbo, Miyanda Eness M.; Chulu, Francis
    This paper presents the findings of a study on research productivity of the University of Zambia (UNZA) in the year 2018 using selected bibliometric indicators. Data was collected from Scopus, PubMed, Google scholar, UNZA Institutional Repository, UNZA Journals Online, and others. Five hundred and sixteen (516) publications were analysed using Microsoft Excel. VOSviewer was used to visualise research themes based on keywords. The study established that 366 academic staff participated in the total research output, giving a 39% participation rate. Results further revealed an overall staff-to-paper publication ratio of 0.6 and 0.8 degrees of collaboration among the researchers. The research output was characterised by journal articles (79.8%) as the most preferred medium of research dissemination while the majority (80%) of the publications were multiple-authored. The study recommends converting traditional journals into online open access journals to improve the impact of UNZA's research output while encouraging staff to engage in research. Keywords: Bibliometric analysis, Research Output, Research Productivity, Research Assessment, Research Evaluation, Citations, Research Collaboration, University of Zambia, Zambia, 2018.
