Antoaneta Bezlova

BEIJING, Nov 25 2005 (IPS) – As China prepares to undertake a massive drive to inoculate every chicken and duck in the country against avian flu, experts are cautioning that political will and ample budgets are insufficient to accomplish this Herculean task.
Efforts to inoculate China s 14 billion farmed birds could be easily undermined by the use of substandard or fake vaccines and by lax local implementation- two areas of grave concern for the central government, which has invested huge political capital into defeating the avian flu epidemic.

It is not a problem of fiscal ability or determination on the side of the central government. It is an implementation problem, says Andy Rothman,China analyst with CLSA, the Shanghai-based brokerage.

Kaci Racelma

ALGIERS, Jan 5 2006 (IPS) – Coverage of AIDS in Africa typically focuses on the dire situation in countries south of the Sahara, which are home to almost two thirds of people infected with HIV globally, according to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).
But what of the countries that lie further north and along the Mediterranean? In the case of one of these nations, Algeria, concern about the pandemic is mounting even though statistics suggest little cause for alarm at first glance.

The mills, being built along the Uruguay River by Spain s ENCE and Finland s Botnia companies, and slated to begin operations in 2007, are fueling hopes for more jobs in the area, but are also stirring up fears of future damage to natural habitat and harm to human health.
