A qualitative study assessed the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic on Malian sexual and reproductive health services. Sexual and reproductive health (SRHR) providers in 25 purposively selected public health facilities in urban Bamako, rural Kita (western Mali) and Koutiala (southeast Mali) were interviewed. Disruptions within SRH supply, staffing, the prioritization of SRHR services, and patients' ability to seek, obtain and pay for services were reported across urban and rural settings at all levels of public health care, and by all cadres of SRHR providers. Most facilities in the study areas sustained some SRHR services at the height of the COVID19 epidemic through innovative outreach and phone-based consultations. This study offers critical lessons for SRHR service provision during future waves of the pandemic or during periods of comparable emergency. (Afr J Reprod Health 2022; 26[12s]: 169-179).

Des prestataires de santé sexuelle et reproductive (SRHR) dans 25 établissements de santé publique sélectionnés àdessein dans les zones urbaines de Bamako, Kita rurale (ouest du Mali) et Koutiala (sud-est du Mali) ont été interrogés. Les perturbations au sein de l'offre de SSR, du personnel, de la hiérarchisation des services de SDSR et de la capacité des patients àrechercher, obtenir et payer des services ont été signalées dans les milieux urbains et ruraux àtous les niveaux des soins de santé publics et par tous les cadres de prestataires de SDSR. La plupart des établissements dans les zones d'étude ont maintenu certains services de SDSR au plus fort de l'épidémie de COVID-19 grâce àdes consultations innovantes et par téléphone. Cette étude offre des leçons essentielles pour la prestation de services de SDSR lors des futures vagues de la pandémie ou pendant des périodes d'urgence comparables.

Strong local abortion research capacity is missing in many African countries. We report on the Strengthening Abortion Research Capacity in sub-Saharan Africa (STARS) program, an ongoing initiative to strengthen local capacity for abortion research in Mali, West Africa. We highlight the background, context, and methodology of the initiative as well as its achievements, challenges, and emerging lessons. Within a short time, STARS has initiated some key studies on abortion in Mali and created a much-needed platform for nurturing the country's next generation of abortion researchers, institutionalizing abortion research, increasing the quantity and quality of locally generated evidence on abortion, and facilitating evidence-informed abortion policy and programmatic action. The program's learning-by-doing approach has boosted the skills of individual researchers while also enhancing institution-based abortion and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) research expertise in Mali. Although STARS' capacity to deliver its mandate over time is evident, ultimate results will depend on the sustained commitment of funders to the program in the full realization that capacity building requires long-term investment and support for it to fully bear fruits. (Afr JReprodHealth 2022; 26[12s]: 110-118). Keywords: Abortion, research capacity, Mali, STARS De solides capacités locales de recherche sur l'avortement font défaut dans de nombreux pays africains. Nous rendons compte du programme de renforcement des capacités de recherche sur l'avortement en Afrique subsaharienne (STARS), une initiative en cours visant àrenforcer les capacités locales de recherche sur l'avortement au Mali, en Afrique de l'Ouest. Nous soulignons le contexte, le contexte et la méthodologie de l'initiative ainsi que ses réalisations, ses défis et les leçons émergentes. En peu de temps, STARS a lancé des études clés sur l'avortement au Mali et créé une plate-forme indispensable pour nourrir la prochaine génération de chercheurs sur l'avortement du pays, institutionnaliser la recherche sur l'avortement, augmenter la quantité et la qualité des preuves générées localement sur l'avortement et faciliter politique d'avortement fondée sur des données probantes et action programmatique. L'approche d'apprentissage par la pratique du programme a renforcé les compétences des chercheurs individuels tout en renforçant l'expertise de recherche institutionnelle sur l'avortement et la santé et les droits sexuels et reproductifs (SDSR) au Mali. Bien que la capacité de STARS àremplir son mandat au fil du temps soit évidente, les résultats ultimes dépendront de l'engagement soutenu des bailleurs de fonds envers le programme dans la pleine conscience que le renforcement des capacités nécessite un investissement et un soutien àlong terme pour qu'il porte pleinement ses fruits.

- Abstract
The minimally invasive autopsy (MIA), an innovative approach for obtaining post-mortem samples of key organs, is increasingly being recognized as a robust methodology for cause of death (CoD) investigation, albeit so far limited to pilot studies and research projects. A better understanding of the real causes of death in middle- and low-income countries, where underlying causes of death are seldom determined, would allow improved health planning, more targeted prioritization of available resources and the implementation of coherent public health policies. This paper discusses lessons learnt from the implementation of a Feasibility and Acceptability (F&A) study evaluating the MIA approach in five countries: Gabon, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique and Pakistan. This article reports the methodological choices made to document sociocultural and religious norms around death, to examine community and relatives’ attitudes and perceptions towards MIA, and to identify factors motivating the MIA’s acceptance and refusal. We used ethnography, grounded theory and framework method approaches. In-depth and semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with key informants, including next of kin of deceased individuals and healthcare providers, were conducted. Participant observation and direct observation of procedures and ceremonies around death were organized in all study sites. In Mozambique, MIA procedures were observed and case studies conducted. The implementation of this F&A protocol has provided critical lessons that could facilitate the future implementation of post-mortem procedures for CoD investigation. These include the need for early community engagement, staff training and preparedness, flexibility to adapt the protocol, gathering qualitative data from diverse sources, and triangulation of the data. We have applied a rigorous, effective and culturally sensitive methodological approach to assess the F&A of MIA in resource-constrained settings. We strongly recommend that such an approach is applied in settings where MIAs or similar post-mortem sensitive procedures are to be introduced.

Mali national policy recommends that women take iron and folic acid supplements (IFA) from the time of the first antenatal care (ANC) visit, throughout pregnancy and during the first 3 months after delivery. In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) updated their ANC guidelines to recommend the United Nations International Multiple Micronutrient Antenatal Preparation (UNIMMAP) formulation of multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) in the context of rigorous research, including implementation research. In Bamako, Mali, a codesign process was used to tailor antenatal care MMS packaging and counselling materials aimed at optimizing delivery and uptake of and adherence to MMS. This paper presents the codesign process along with the results of a post‐intervention qualitative assessment to evaluate the behaviour change intervention. At the conclusion of the intervention, we conducted semistructured qualitative interviews with 24 women who had received the intervention and six pharmacy managers from the six health centres participating in the study. We conducted two focus groups with midwives who had delivered the intervention and two group discussions with family members of women who had received the intervention. Respondent perspectives reveal an easy experience transitioning from previously used IFA. Women and providers concur that the intervention counselling materials and visual aids were instrumental in influencing the perceived benefit and uptake of MMS. Family members play an influential role in pregnant women's decision‐making regarding MMS uptake. MMS and the associated implementation strategies developed through the codesign process were found to be a highly acceptable intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In resource-limited settings where vital registration and medical death certificates are unavailable or incomplete, verbal autopsy (VA) is often used to attribute causes of death (CoD) and prioritize resource allocation and interventions. We aimed to determine the CoD concordance between InterVA and CHAMPS's method. The causes of death (CoDs) of children <5 were determined by two methods using data from seven low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) enrolled in the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) network. The first CoD method was from the DeCoDe panel using data from Minimally Invasive Tissue Sampling (MITS), whereas the second method used Verbal Autopsy (VA), which utilizes the InterVA software. This analysis evaluated the agreement between the two using Lin's concordance correlation coefficient. The overall concordance of InterVA4 and DeCoDe in assigning causes of death across surveillance sites, age groups, and causes of death was poor (0.75 with 95% CI: 0.73-0.76) and lacked precision. We found substantial differences in agreement by surveillance site, with Mali showing the lowest and Mozambique and Ethiopia the highest concordance. The InterVA4 assigned CoD agrees poorly in assigning causes of death for U5s and stillbirths. Because VA methods are relatively easy to implement, such systems could be more useful if algorithms were improved to more accurately reflect causes of death, for example, by calibrating algorithms to information from programs that used detailed diagnostic testing to improve the accuracy of COD determination., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright: This is an open access article, free of all copyright, and may be freely reproduced, distributed, transmitted, modified, built upon, or otherwise used by anyone for any lawful purpose.
