La culture du doute nuit aux demandeurs d’asile

Report

JOHANNESBOURG, 29 avril 2013 (IRIN) - À leur arrivée dans les pays hôtes, la majorité des demandeurs d’asile se trouvent incapables d’apporter la preuve des persécutions qu’ils ont subies. Ainsi, les chances de voir aboutir leur demande de statut de réfugié dépendent en grande partie de la vraisemblance de leur récit. Cependant, la crédibilité des demandeurs d’asile est de plus en plus souvent remise en cause, particulièrement dans les pays qui reçoivent de nombreuses demandes d’asile.

Culture of disbelief works against asylum seekers

Report

— IRIN

JOHANNESBURG, 24 April 2013 (IRIN) - Most asylum seekers arrive in host countries with no evidence to prove they have fled persecution. This means the success of their applications for refugee status depends largely on whether their stories are believed. But the credibility of asylum seekers is increasingly being called into question, particularly in countries that receive large numbers of asylum claims.

Donor aid begins to flow

Report

— IRIN

BANGKOK, 4 January 2012 (IRIN) - As the government of Myanmar continues to pledge political reform, donors are reassessing their giving in a country that has historically received among the lowest levels of per capita development aid of any developing country.

"Myanmar has been called an aid orphan in the past because its per capita assistance is so low," London-based Myanmar analyst Ashley South told IRIN.

Health: Addressing mental illness stigma in Somali diaspora

Report

— IRIN

LONDON, 25 July 2011 (IRIN) - Post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problems experienced by Somalis who fled their country to settle in the UK, according to Abdi Gure, a community development worker for Mind, a mental health organization based in Harrow, north London.

Uncertainty over immigration status, housing and language barriers can compound mental illness but fear of being stigmatized may prevent sufferers from seeking support from their community as well as from the mental health services.

UK aid cuts hit health care

Report

— IRIN

BLANTYRE, 2 June 2011 (IRIN) - After several years of fragile gains, Malawi's healthcare sector is facing major setbacks following a decision by its largest international donor, the UK's Department for International Development (DFID), to freeze its aid to the impoverished nation.

The UK provided about US$122 million annually to Malawi, of which $49 million went to funding Malawi's public health sector, but DFID made its final aid disbursement in March and has decided not to renew a six-year funding commitment which ends in June.

Afrique : Pas de cas de grippe A (H1N1) - Le reflet de la réalité ou du manque de laboratoires équipés?

Report

— IRIN

DAKAR, 11 mai 2009 (IRIN) - Aucun cas de grippe A (H1N1) n'a encore été confirmé en Afrique, et les experts médicaux se demandent si ce constat est le fait de la chance ou si, bien au contraire, il s'explique par le manque de centres d'analyse de la grippe entièrement équipés.

Des cas de grippe A (H1N1) ont été confirmés en Amérique du Nord, en Amérique du Sud, en Asie et en Europe, mais ni en Australasie, ni en Afrique, selon l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS).

« Je suis très surpris qu'aucun cas n'ait encore été signalé ici ; le manque de capacités de diagnostic en est une
