Chinese Development Finance and African Policy Space: Towards Productive Incoherence?
Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT How does Chinese Development Finance influence perceptions of policy space across Sub‐Saharan Africa? This paper employs Grabel's concept of ‘productive incoherence’ to both describe the ‘new development finance landscape’ and to explore its implications for recipient‐country policy space.

HIV Client Perspectives on Digital Health in Malawi [PDF]
eHealth has strong potential to advance HIV care in low- and middle-income countries. Given the sensitivity of HIV-related information and the risks associated with unintended HIV status disclosure, clients' privacy perceptions towards eHealth applications should be examined to develop client-centered technologies.

Developing cholera outbreak forecasting through qualitative dynamics: Insights into Malawi case study [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2025Cholera, an acute diarrheal disease, is a serious concern in developing and underdeveloped areas. A qualitative understanding of cholera epidemics aims to foresee transmission patterns based on reported data and mechanistic models. The mechanistic model is a crucial tool for capturing the dynamics of disease transmission and population spread. However,

Boron availability and fertilizer response of maize in soils from sub‐Saharan Africa
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.Abstract Background and aims Low boron (B) availability is associated with strongly weathered, coarse‐textured, and low organic matter soils, widespread in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). It is unknown to what extent B fertilization can increase maize yields in SSA.

Using wearable proximity sensors to characterize social contact patterns in a village of rural Malawi [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Measuring close proximity interactions between individuals can provide key information on social contacts in human communities. With the present study, we report the quantitative assessment of contact patterns in a village in rural Malawi, based on proximity sensors technology that allows for high-resolution measurements of social contacts.

Stratification stability of tropical lakes and their sensitivity to climate
Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract Tropical lakes experience less thermal convection than temperate lakes and can be stably stratified by temperature gradients alone. Deep tropical lakes are often presumed meromictic, but conditions for sustained meromixis are poorly constrained. Here, we investigate the stratification stability of a deep (200 m) tropical Lake Towuti (Indonesia)

Can Network Theory-based Targeting Increase Technology Adoption? [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 In order to induce farmers to adopt a productive new agricultural technology, we apply simple and complex contagion diffusion models on rich social network data from 200 villages in Malawi to identify seed farmers to target and train on the new technology.
