PHNFLASH 50- Essential Drugs, CONTRACEPTIVE, AGRICULTURE (#)
„Five African, two Asian and two Latin American countries were studied. Major conclusions reached by the study are, one, that syrups have the highest failure rate and tablets the lowest; two, that though a large proportion of failures are associated with local manufacture, the difference is not statistically significant; and finally, that there is currently a "reasonable" level of quality. But the study cautions that the drug samples were largely collected at the central level -- not at peripheral private sector distribution points -- and that the very small size of the survey means that these results should be treated as an "approximation." Also just published is an external evaluation (in French) of the UNICEF- and WHO- led Bamako Initiative in Rwanda. Both are available from the editor.“

„For the majority of small coffee farmers, the benefits are small. World prices are in constant flux, and coffee industry middlemen (known to Latin American farmers as “coyotes”) offer farmers the lowest price possible. Farmers never know how much they’ll get for their crops.“
