This report introduces the key drivers of agricultural water pollution, analyzes the related pollution loads, states change in water bodies and resulting impacts on human health and ecosystems, and explores different approaches to controlling water pollution from agriculture, including policies and institutional arrangements, and on-farm and off-farm responses. Examples will be drawn from developed and developing countries.

The report constitutes a good
basis to rethink policies and reformulate preparedness and response plans which can strengthen resilience to droughts in the region, taking into account the social, economic and environmental contexts specific to each country.

This rapid assessment reviewed sanitation activities by Catholic Relief Services in East Africa, in particular the promotion of the Arborloo – an innovative latrine designed to help achieve sustainable and scalable sanitation improvements in rural Ethiopia, South Sudan, Kenya and Uganda. The assessment explored the factors affecting Arborloo acceptance and sustainability, the scope and approaches for scaling up the latrine in these countries and in Tanzania, as well as opportunities to foster links between community and school sanitation.

The two dietary patterns are analyzed in relation to urbanization and socio-economic positions in the use of interview, where FFQ is used a survey instrument. The survey also shows a relation between the location and amount of traditional food, but also the relation between healthy lifestyle and gender.
