“…The problem is that "if one's physical features are very different from the rest of society, this can lead to discrimination and possibly preclude employment which can result in poverty (Likumbo et al 2021, p. 2). Poverty has been cited severally as another major factor for exclusion in many contexts (Healey 2011;Tilly 2007;Mosse 2007).…”

Albinism, an inherited condition from birth as a result of the lack of melanin pigment which usually changes the colour of the skin, hair and eyes, is usually greeted with resentment in most African communities. With the use of case studies, this chapter through the multidimensional approach or perspective to social exclusion analyses how myths, religio-cultural beliefs, misconception and superstition about albinism contribute to their social exclusion in Ghana. The analysis focuses on four dimensions of multidimensional perspective to social exclusion which includes political, economic, social and cultural. The chapter through selected case studies tease out the ways in which exclusion of albinos takes place in areas such as education, employment, health, housing and denial or lack of friendship and community support. The chapter argues that the social exclusion of albinos in these areas of social life are reinforced by socially constructed notions of humanness and religio-cultural beliefs, myths, misconception and superstition.

One Health recognises the interdependence between the health of humans, animals, plants and the environment. With the increasing inclusion of One Health in multiple global health strategies, the One Health workforce must be prepared to protect and sustain the health and well-being of life on the planet. In this paper, a review of past and currently accepted One Health core competencies was conducted, with competence gaps identified. Here, the Network for Ecohealth and One Health (NEOH) propose updated core competencies designed to simplify what can be a complex area, grouping competencies into three main areas of: Skills; Values and Attitudes; and Knowledge and Awareness; with several layers underlying each. These are intentionally applicable to stakeholders from various sectors and across all levels to support capacity-building efforts within the One Health workforce. The updated competencies from NEOH can be used to evaluate and enhance current curricula, create new ones, or inform professional training programs at all levels, including students, university teaching staff, or government officials as well as continual professional development for frontline health practitioners and policy makers. The competencies are aligned with the new definition of One Health developed by the One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP), and when supported by subjectspecific expertise, will deliver the transformation needed to prevent and respond to complex global challenges.

“…Thus, the labour component of the projects has been put in jeopardy by excluding the local poor from the benefits. This is because they lack “favourable categorical memberships and interpersonal connections” as described by Tilly (, p. 2). By excluding the local poor, the elites indirectly perpetuate their power base in the rural community.…”

“…According to De Haan and Zoomers (), this exclusion is caused by a mechanism through which some people monopolize access by (ab)using property rights, laws, social/physical characteristics like gender, race to maximize their own returns, leaving the majority of the people in poverty. Tilly () has termed this exclusion process as “opportunity hoarding.” This approach is very relevant in exploring different power relations in FFWP. This programme follows a decentralized approach in designing and implementing projects where many stakeholders—including local government officials, civil society members and poor people—are involved.…”

Micro politics of Social Safety Net Programmes: The case of the Food‐For‐Work Programme in Bangladesh

A number of studies have established that politics has a role in shaping and implementing Social Safety Net Programmes (SSNPs) and, conversely, SSNPs also influence national or local politics. This study qualitatively analyzes the micro level political discourses of the Food‐For‐Work programme, one of the top 10 SSNPs in Bangladesh, using the concepts of access, institutions and agency under livelihood framework. The analysis of the findings reveals that the programme is not effective in terms of the stated objectives of reducing poverty, but rather serves the interest of political elites. Beneficiary access to the projects depends on categorical membership, ability to participate and gender, which lead the programme to be reduced to subsidized infrastructure projects.
