Angul: 23.08.2017: The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) is an international financing organization that aims to "attract and disburse additional resources to prevent and treat HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria." TheGlobal Fund is a financing mechanism rather than an implementing agency.(IMCP-3) Intensified Malaria Control Project-3 is one of the project supported by GFATM. 

Today, 37 ASHAs were trained on Early Dignosis and Complete Treatment (EDCT) of Malaria at Godibandh Community Health Center, Angul under IMCP-3 which is supported by GFATM.  The said training was organised by National Vector Borne Disease Control programme (NVBDCP) and Sambalpur Social Service Society (SSSS), a Caritas India Consortium. One of our best contribution to this training was that we oriented the participants about drug dose scheduled and use of ACT combination pack. Many of them expressed that now they are more confident on dose scheduled for PV, PF and mixed cases. We also refreshed them in understanding and practicing of slide preparation of blood smear both thick and thin enhancing the knowledge of all ASHAs about EDCT of Malaria.

Governments have spent enormous sums in the name of tribal upliftment. Schemes are launched, funds are allocated, reports are published. But if one stands in a tribal village today and compares it with the life of their grandparents or great-grandparents, the painful truth emerges: nothing has fundamentally changed. The grandfather was marginalized. The father remained marginalized. And the child, with all signs, is being prepared—slowly and silently—to inherit the same fate. The Evidence Lies in Everyday Life Despite the vocabulary of “development” floating around them, tribals continue to depend on the system for survival, not empowerment. Consider these everyday realities: 1. Education without elevation The schools exist, the teachers are paid, the child...

Who can be the “Change”?

In schools we learnt that we plant trees for the grandchildren. It means we plant trees and our grandchildren enjoy the fruits, sheds, woods etc. That means we grow old and fed away and could not benefit from the recompense. So, the focus is on the grown up and old people. To this extend, the more the elder people work, the more “ changes” will take place in the future.                     But it is opposite in the development area we focus on the old and grown up people by giving a lot of trainings and instruction hoping that they will bring a change in the society. But in reality they are already old enough who starts journey towards their fading way. Thus, they could bear a little and the “ change” is being reduced. On the other hand, if we train and instruct the children and youths, they would bring much more change in the society, because they would be applying it in their day-today-life when they will be grown-up...
