I am from Mauritania, and I grew up in a western country. I remember amazingly how the media shaped westerners’ opinions about countries like mine. My country was seen as fundamentally sexist country (westerners tend to generalize all Arab countries). Whereas in my country, women are treated like queens and they are the ones who give commands at home....

Media definitely matters in development. In my current role job, I used communication tools (radio, posters, panels, etc) to convey messages to rural communities about how to deal with the desert locust invasion (invading their agricultural crops). They have been given essential information about all its consequences in local languages and how to fight against...

Media matters for development as it helps raising awareness about global challenges. It is also crucial to promoting behavior change. As such, media is an integral part in international development.

Development is a positive change through which less developed countries improve on a societal, economical, environmental or political level.

I believe that change is process in which governmental leaders need to be reached out for. We need to skilled in conducting advocacy, I am not sure if it is included in this course?

Hi! Is there a vaccine for Ebola?
-
wahba malloum made a comment
From my point of view and I do not want to sound pessimistic, Africa is so not ready to tackle this outbreak at all. First, because of the lack of hygiene and lack of means (medical tools, competent medical staff..) to deal with potential patients..What's more, on top of the aforementioned reasons, Here in Mauritania, we have a great number of superstitious...

Great overview of the whole situation. I just hope that countries will follow suit china's strategic response to the outbreak. I truly believe that one of the things that also helped chinese is their behaviour towards this situation , they have shown discipline , responsibilty and solidarity in contending with the virus. They have cooperative and principles...

are there any evidence that a more aggressive type of virus might appear?

The airport screening is not effective as we know there is a time of the virus incubation of 5 days. Therefore, each person coming from abroad should be quarantined no more less than 14 days. I believe this is one of WHO guidelines..but what about the asymtomatic people who could carry the virus?!!is there a way of detecting this?

Definetely the role of the religious leaders is essential, people think that by praying in mosques or in churches, COVID will spare them. They also think by doing so they are better believers than others and perhaps they deserve an extra bonus .I am a believer, God is everywhere, you can do your prayers at home and God will hear you. God is already giving you...

Even though I know that each country should adapt the response measures contextually , it would interesting that each one of us lists/shares the preventive measures that are being taken by its own Government...
-
I do not understand why the UK government didn't take any preventive measures when the 1st cases of COVID were announced. Were they announced? did the public know about it? here in Mauritania, WHO is doing a great job in supporting the Government.
-
I seriously think that grading PHEIC in our current situation is essential as it can bring consciousness to people and have in mind how serious this is. In Mauritania the Government started taking preventive measures after what happened in Europe when the virus outbreak started actually in China., people are scared now, I would say maybe the government should...

Your husband should be sent home as he s considered one of those vulnerable people at higher risks...people with heart condition are one of them..he should be able to raise this issue seriously with employer; his employer should be understanding

lets get things straight; we all know that fear sells well and there is a lot of fake news spreading around; we should only look up to reliable information from reliable sources like WHO official site

Many countries felt they weren't concerned about the outbreak virus, they thought the virus wouldn't spread beyond China...WHO did a huge mistake in not declaring the virus as PHEIC and the governements did not take measures to prevent people from commuting...who to held accountable? I think most of these deaths could have been prevented...correct if I am...

Hello Mark,
The video was very user-friendly in a way that the audience can grasp better the operational activities of the parliament. It was quite visual and eye-catching as it used lots of images making even better to understand. The images actually spoke for themselves. “A picture is worth a thousand words”.
Cheers

British people should be proud of their political system which shows absolute transparency and effectiveness. It considerably takes into account the public concerns making its system a real example of democracy to the world. I t s fascinating how the government is being questionned on every aspect of its work and how it responds concisely to the opposition....

In the H
ouse of commons during PMQs the atmosphere is quite stressful making the political exchange discussion between the PM and the MPs quite short. There are concerns that need to be addressed carefully and in-depth, therefore more time needs to be devoted to them, such as relevant concerns such as Health. -
