Psychosis: Global Perspectives
Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders can be both devastating and long-lasting, and are associated with significant individual, familial, and societal costs. Schizophrenia is one of the top ten leading causes of disability world-wide, and yet the overwhelming majority of research is conducted in populations in the Global North (North America, Europe, and Australia - together comprising only around 16% of the world's population). Psychosis: Global Perspectives synthesises the existing research in non-western countries to provide detailed accounts of ongoing research programmes, local treatment systems, cultural contexts, and the lived experience of psychosis across nine countries in the Global South, setting the findings in frameworks of relevant current evidence from the Global North where appropriate. It features a critical review of the literature on specific aspects of psychosis, from phenomenology to mental health services and systems, to provide a solid background on the subject. Academically rigorous yet accessibly written, this new title addresses the substantial inequalities in literature and attention in the global understanding of psychotic disorders.

IFPRI publications related to nutrition in Ethiopia
The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) began research activities in Ethiopia in the 1980s to assess the root causes of drought-related food-production shortages and support adoption of appropriate policy responses. IFPRI’s rigorous empirical research contributed to a broader understanding of economic development processes in Ethiopia and built capacity to conduct such research on a national scale. Working with many long-standing partners, IFPRI evaluated strategies for achieving sustainable agricultural growth, investment in agricultural research, the provision of safety nets to strengthen resilience, prioritization of nutrition interventions for women and children, property rights, and management of natural resources, among other goals. Evidence from this and other work informed programs and initiatives to improve food and nutrition security for vulnerable people.
