Development and Public Health with Dr. Onalenna Seitio-Kgokgwe

April 28, 2017

In this edition of CIBER Focus, Dr. Onalenna Seitio-Kgokgwe draws from her many years working in public health and development to talk about the health care industry in Botswana and how the Institute of Development Management (IDM) is working to improve healthcare management in Southern Africa.
 

 

Botswana has one of the best health care systems in the region and is the first country to run free access to antiretroviral treatment nationwide. It has seen the death rate due to AIDS fall over the past decade; though unfortunately, the prevalence of HIV has risen over the same time period. This has led to an increasing burden on the healthcare system and new opportunities for the private sector in Botswana.

NAFTA: Challenges and Opportunities of Renegotiation with Dr. P. Roberto Garcia

March 13, 2017

Recently, US President Donald Trump has called for an update and renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), a 23-year-old trade agreement between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Dr. Garcia joins us today to share his insights on the history of NAFTA and the implications updating NAFTA could have on the US and our closest trade partners, Canada and Mexico.

From the beginning, NAFTA has had its fair share of both critics and champions. However, predictions from both sides failed to materialize, and NAFTA’s lowering of tariffs and restrictions has actually led to widespread integration of industries across the three nations. Still, leaders in Canada, Mexico, and the US have indicated they are open to renegotiation, keeping what has worked and making much-needed updates to ensure the continuing competitiveness of the three countries.

February 22, 2017

In Part 1 of our series on Sustainable Development & Human Migration, Dr. Georgina Ramsay draws from years of fieldwork with refugees and asylum-seekers in Uganda and Australia to share her insights on the process of refugee resettlement and asylum.

With an estimated 65 million refugees worldwide, many countries are reviewing their refugee and migration policies. Displaced persons spend an average of 17 years in asylum, causing many policymakers and international organizations, like the United Nations, to press for sustainable, long-term solutions rather than “camp” models that rely heavily on humanitarian aid.
