“…Most IPV research of risk factors and interventions focused on individual factors, such as a woman’s or partner’s wealth, education, and acceptance of violence and women’s decision-making autonomy [ 1 , 2 ]. However, only a little attention has been paid to environmental determinants of IPV, such as drought [ 3 ] and armed conflict [ 4 ].…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is a major public health problem and is widespread in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, little is known about its environmental determinants. This study aimed to investigate whether inadequate living conditions are associated with IPV victimization in women in SSA. We analyzed cross-sectional data for 102,714 women in 25 SSA countries obtained from the Demographic and Health Surveys Program. Logistic regression was used to estimate the country-specific effects of inadequate living conditions (housing with at least one of four characteristics of unimproved water, unimproved sanitation, insufficient space, and unfinished materials) on multiple forms of IPV. Random effects meta-analysis was used to combined the country-specific estimates. We found an association between inadequate living conditions and a higher likelihood of experiencing any (OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.23, p = 0.012), sexual (OR = 1.18, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.34, p = 0.008), emotional (OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.23, p = 0.023), and physical (OR = 1.15, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.28, p = 0.010) IPV. The associations were stronger for rural and less-educated women. These findings suggest that future research to establish a causal link between living conditions and IPV and to elucidate the underlying pathways is crucial to design IPV interventions in SSA.

“…Empirical research to date has focused on the effects of the Boko Haram insurgency on agricultural production (Adelaja and George, 2019), economic welfare (Odozi and Oyelere, 2019), food security (George et al, 2020), child health (Ekhator-Mobayode and Abebe Asfaw, 2019; Nwokolo, 2015), school attendance (Bertoni et al, 2019), migration (Kamta et al, 2020b), and intimate partner violence (Ekhator-Mobayode et al, 2020). Our paper most closely relates to Kamta et al (2021), who analyze the tensions between IDPs displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency and host communities.…”

“…Inter-communal violence is on the increase in Nigeria and children are believed to constitute more than half (58%) of the internally displaced population. 5 Nigeria ranked among the first 10 countries that have highest prevalence of underweight, stunting and wasting children under-5 years as 1 in every 7 children dies before attaining school age due to malnutrition. 6 With approximately 5.5 million newborns weaned each year in Nigeria and the high expense of imported weaning foods, it is vital to develop less expensive and more nutritious goods for the country’s developing children.…”

Vitamin A deﬁciencies is a becoming persistent among young children and a growing concern to parents in sub-Saharan Africa, especially in crisis-affected areas. Fermented cereal paste from maize, millets, and sorghum grains are significant food for young children. Thus, the study focuses on food fortification using orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) as fortifier as studies have confirmed the presence of nutrients that can help meet the Vitamin A dietary requirement. The cereals were soaked ambient temperature (27 ± 1°C) for 72 hours and were blended with OFSP (90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50), and the formulated products were studied for Vitamin A, β-carotene, proximate composition, physicochemical, functional properties, and storage. Application of OFSP as forticant increased the Vitamin A (4.98-6.65 mg/100 g), β-carotene (0.10-0.17 mg/100 g) and the calorific value (222.03-301.75 kcal) of the gluten-free multi-grain cereal paste. The addition of OFSP also increased the ash content (1.41%-3.35%), crude fiber (2.56%-4.225%), carbohydrate (39.83%-48.35%), total solid content (55.20%-60.87%), and water absorption capacity (112.20%-137.49%) of the formulated cereal samples. The fortified fermented paste was objectively stable throughout on the shelf from the storage studies. The study deduced that addition of orange-fleshed sweet potato to fermented mixed cereal paste as a fortifier can help increase the nutritional quality of the complementary food.
