Socio-economic impacts of commercialisation of agriculture in the Kingdom of Eswatini: A case of Siphofaneni.

The transformation of subsistence agriculture into market-oriented production has been in the policy spotlight in many countries in the global South, including the Kingdom of Eswatini. Although agricultural commercialisation continues to gain popularity as a development strategy in the rural spaces of Eswatini, there is still lack of scientific evidence on its effectiveness in rural poverty alleviation and contribution to rural livelihoods and welfare. This study aims to contribute to the 'agricultural commercialisation and poverty' debate by exploring the socio-economic impacts of agricultural commercialisation in rural Eswatini.

Retention on ART and predictors of disengagement from care in several alternative community-centred ART refill models in rural Swaziland.

Introduction: A broad range of community-centred care models for patients stable on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) have been proposed by the World Health Organization to better respond to patient needs and alleviate pressure on health systems caused by rapidly growing patient numbers. Where available, often a single alternative care model is offered in addition to routine clinical care. We operationalized several community-centred ART delivery care models in one public sector setting.
