Intervening Role of the Poverty Level on Public Health Care and Tax Revenues Linkage: Evidence from the East Africa Community Members Countries
EfD Authors:
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) has dominated government and development partners’ boardrooms in the last two decades and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Debate is ongoing as to whether governments allocate additional public funds to health care as a result of expanded tax revenues or whether public health financing (PHF) can be harnessed to spur growth in tax revenues. Evidence from prior studies has varied, mainly stemming from differences in models adopted, choice and measurement of variables, as well as contextual disparities.

The Role of Community Science in Addressing Policy Change: A Critical Review of Air Pollution Literature
EfD Authors:
Abstract
Background Community air pollution science serves as a vital tool in public health and urban planning, enabling communities to advocate for policy changes that improve public health outcomes. Despite its potential, there is a noticeable gap in translating research findings into policy actions.
Objectives This review aims to assess the focus of studies on community air pollution science published between 1990-2023 and identify the extent to which these studies address the research-to-policy gap.
Gendered access to cooking energy solutions under multi-tier frameworks and its welfare effects in Zambia
EfD Authors:
Having a modern cooking stove at the household level provides an incomplete measure of cooking energy access. This limitation has necessitated the introduction of a multi-tier framework (MTF) to provide a more nuanced assessment. Thus, this study examines the overall, gendered, and rural-urban effects of cooking energy access under the MTF on health and time allocation to various household activities.
