The purpose of this study is to facilitate the transition from dairy-cow-based milk chain towards a water-buffalo-based dito, in Bangladesh. Our objectives are to:Evaluate the present status of the buffalo milk chain in Bangladesh, from udder to consumer, focusing on udder health, handling practices and milk production. Identify risk factors and best practices for better milk quality and safety.Evaluate the presence of typical foodborne pathogens in buffalo milk such as Brucella and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Identify measures to control their transmission in a One Health approach.Model the effect of a transition from a dairy-cow-based milk chain towards a water-buffalo-based milk chain.Design and implement a transition strategy towards a water buffalo milk chain, using stakeholders’ inputs and the previously collected informationThis four-year study will be carried out as one PhD and four MSc projects, and will include traditional prevalence studies based on milk and aninal sampling, risk factor analyses and mathematic and epidemilogical modelling. The project will be led by one researcher from Sweden and one from Bangladesh.The overarching goal of this proposal is to map the milk related disease status of water buffaloes in Bangladesh and see whether transition to a water buffalo dairy chain is sustainable, profitable, and holds healthier animals and humans in a ONE HEALTH perspective.

WHAT: Noncommunicable diseases are not only common in affluent but also in low- and middle-income countries. In Nepal, such diseases account for 60% of all deaths; 22% of these from cardiovascular diseases. We therefore focus on cardiovascular health promoting strategies in Nepal and use this research for capacity building in both Sweden and Nepal. HOW: We will 1) support research initiatives by developing, implementing and assessing the effectiveness and feasibility of a health educational intervention for cardiovascular health focusing on healthy diet and physical activity aimed at mothers with children aged 1-7 years; and 2) strengthen research and research training in Nepal trough capacity building by exchanging teachers/researchers, students as well as library staff. WHY/SIGNIFICANCE: We contribute with new scientific knowledge and establish new research ties in health promotion. Nepal provides an environment, where a mother-centred health educational intervention can be tested in an excellent case-control setting that could not likewise be achieved in Sweden. Moreover, despite cultural and economic differences, potential positive results can be cautiously generalized to Sweden and hence, provide support for testing this innovative health educational approach there, too. Moreover, the expertise of the Swedish members of the team can be integrated into the development of research training in Nepal and can strengthen local research infrastructure and research training.

One of the most impoverished ethnic communities of Nepal, 'Tharus' have Sickle Cell Anemia Disease (SCD). Lack of easy access to health facilities and costly treatment is limiting their ability to pursue education and in many cases, threaten their basic survival. Due to this disease school going children are affecting their formal education.

Despite making up less than 1% of all water on Earth, fresh water is essential for supporting people, prosperity and the planet, and central to securing basic needs, livelihoods and development. Freshwater ecosystems such as lakes, rivers, wetlands and aquifers are uniquely important and yet particularly under threat. Under competition from many users for a multiple of different productive, municipal and economic uses, they bear the brunt of human activity through over extraction and pollution and will keenly feel the effects of climate change. Their protection, restoration and management is of utmost concern and importance to all, particularly considering that the majority of UN Member States, 151 out of 193 countries, share part or all of their water resources with another country. These concepts form the basis of the rationale behind Sustainable Development Goal (6), “Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all,” the achievement of which would be instrumental for securing sustainable development. Yet a lack of information, capacity, incentives, tools and involvement of stakeholders including gender aspects is hindering actors, from individual to government to corporate level, from taking steps to protect and restore freshwater ecosystems and achieve water-related SDG targets. Poor land and water management and growing competition, leading to the degradation of water-related ecosystems and the loss of their critical services, is a growing concern worldwide, with an urgent need for action. It is estimated that the world has already lost at least 60% of its natural water bodies since wide-scale development began in 1900, and that one-third to one-seventh of rivers in developing countries face severe pathogenic and organic pollution, including from a lack of safely managed wastewater and from run-off from land-based activities. Growing water stress in many parts of the world, as well as drought and desertification, are further serious concerns which the World Economic Forum among others has identified as some of the most serious threats facing our current and future societies and businesses. At the same time, since most countries share important transboundary water resources, information sharing and cooperation across borders is essential, requiring technical assistance and trust-building measures. There is growing concern that failure to do so can lead to tension and conflict, and further degradation of water bodies. Robust and abundant evidence also exists that freshwater resources are particularly vulnerable and have the potential to be strongly impacted by climate change, with wide-ranging consequences for human societies and ecosystems. Given future trends of population growth, development, and climate change, the integrated management of water resources across uses and users is therefore of utmost importance to ensure the sustainability of freshwater ecosystems and their services.
