“…Women who attended secondary education and above levels were 0.27 less likely to have SBI compared to women without formal education. This finding is consistent with the study done in Tanzania (48.4%) [9], Democratic Republic of Congo [13], rural developing communities of Southern Ethiopia [17], Serbo Town, Southwest Ethiopia [16], Arba Minch district, Ethiopia [27], and Kassala, Eastern Sudan [53]. When the education status of the women increased, the knowledge and awareness of the women upon the consequences of short birth interval on maternal and child health will also be optimized.…”

“…For instance, the majority of the community in the four developing regions of Ethiopia are Muslim religious faith followers, in which the use of modern contraceptives for child spacing does not have been practiced yet [52]. This finding is also consistent with a study conducted in Northern Ethiopia [14], Jimma Zone, Southwest Ethiopia [15], rural developing communities of Southern Ethiopia [17] and Kassala, Eastern Sudan [53]. Furthermore, the lifestyle of the community in the developing regions is purely dependent on livestock, in which having more children is considered as advantageous to get more keeper for their cattle.…”

“…Besides, there are also socio-cultural barriers [51,52] upon the utilization of birth controls in the developing community compared to the other parts of Ethiopia. However, the prevalence is lower than a study conducted in Lemo district, Southern Ethiopia (57%) [12], Jimma Zone, Southwest Ethiopia (59.9%) [16], Tanzania (48.4%) [9], and Kassala, Eastern Sudan (60.6%) [53]. This could be explained by small sample size in the previous studies and the difference in study designs.…”

Background Short Birth Interval negatively affects the health of both mothers and children in developing nations, like, Ethiopia. However, studies conducted to date in Ethiopia upon short birth interval were inconclusive and they did not show the extent and determinants of short birth interval in developing (Afar, Somali, Gambella, and Benishangul-Gumuz) regions of the country. Thus, this study was intended to assess the short birth interval and its determinants in the four developing regions of the country. Methods Data were retrieved from the Demographic and Health Survey program official database website (http://dhsprogram.com). A sample of 2683 women of childbearing age group (15-49) who had at least two alive consecutive children in the four developing regions of Ethiopia was included in this study. A multilevel multivariable logistic regression model was fitted to identify the independent predictors of short birth interval and Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) was used during the model selection procedure. Results In this study, the prevalence of short birth interval was 46% [95% CI; 43.7%, 47.9%]. The multilevel multivariable logistic regression model showed women living in rural area [

Background: Children during early years of age go through rapid growth and development that is greatly influenced by various factors of which biological family characteristics are of prime importance. Objective: This study aimed to portray the current profile of biological family characteristics in relation to the pattern of growth and development of children at two years of age in Alexandria, 2017 and to compare the results with previous comparable study. Method: The study included 128 children; 16 children from each district. Data were collected by interview questionnaire and anthropometric measurements and Denver II Developmental Screening test. Results: Significant negative correlation was found between weight of studied children and both family size and birth order. Large family size, older or younger maternal age, short or prolonged inter-birth intervals and high birth order were significantly associated with delayed development. Conclusion: Large family size, older or younger maternal age, short or prolonged inter-birth intervals and high birth order were significantly associated with delayed development. Marked effort is needed to achieve the desired success waited in the Egyptian Family Planning Program.

“…The current case selection is also founded on the children's rights issues facing these countries. These are extensive and include: structural obstacles, gaps in legislation, limited state capacity and resource issues (see Gerbaka and Almuneef 2014, 160-161); deficiencies in monitoring (UNCRC 2012a, 6); inadequate data collection, limitations in health care, failings in the welfare of disabled children, problems tackling economic and sexual exploitation, and the physical and mental abuse of children (Bouhlila 2011;UNCRC 2011aUNCRC , 2012Zayed and Ali 2012;Gobrial 2012;Sabbe et al 2013;Ali, Aziem, and Nagla 2014;El-Nawawy and Khamis 2014;Yefet 2015).…”

Comparative analysis of state and civil society discourse on the implementation of the United Nations’ convention on the rights of the child in North Africa

In the face of continuing children's rights abuses across North Africa, the need for governments to engage non-state actors in human rights implementation is explicit in the United Nations' convention on the rights of the child (UNCRC). Hitherto, this has largely escaped scholarly attention. It is a lacuna addressed in this paper, which presents a theoretically informed analysis of the role of civil society as a political space for promoting children's rights in six countries with particular reference to Egyptian and Sudanese policy and practice. Critical discourse analysis of state and civil society submissions to the second-cycle United Nations' Universal Periodic Review provides insight into UNCRC implementation. The findings show key contrasts in the salience and framing of a range of issues including: violence against children, education, health, forced marriage and discrimination. The wider significance of this is manifold: it offers an original transferable methodology, highlights the formative role of discourse and underlines a pronounced asymmetry in the power of government and civil society. Furthermore, the Egyptian and Sudanese case studies reveal key implementation pathologies applying to authoritarian and (post-)conflict states. KEYWORDS Children; human rights; civil society; discourse; North Africa 1. Introduction Notwithstanding the fact that all countries in the region have ratified the United Nations' convention on the rights of the child (UNCRC), North African states generally have a poor record in upholding human rights for children and young people. 1 Whilst the conditions of children across the region vary between states, overall, recent accounts paint a bleak picture.
