The neurological disease, which was first documented in Uganda in 1950, is suddenly increasingly prevalent in parts of South Sudan, Tanzania and northern Uganda. About 4,000 cases and 500 deaths have been reported in the region since 2003." UN Dispatch (8/15) Share:      United Nations UN chemical-weapons inspectors to leave for Syria The United Nations chemical-weapons team will leave "imminently" for Syria following negotiations with the Syrian government. The team will be in Syria for as long as 14 days to investigate alleged chemical weapons use at three sites, said UN deputy spokesman Eduardo del Buey. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon sees the investigation as "an important deterrent" against the use of chemical weapons, del Buey said.

"Our method is trying to get a more sophisticated understanding of how people make judgments and trade-offs, and using that to say, 'OK, what would make the most sense?' " said SEI research fellow Aaron Atteridge. Thomson Reuters Foundation (8/15), Al Jazeera (8/14) Share:      Global partnership on aid flounders from lack of support A global partnership aimed at enhancing aid delivered to developing countries showed promise when it was launched in 2011 at Busan, South Korea. But lack of support, including funding, is undermining the organization's health, writes Mark Tran. Experts say stronger support from political leaders and a revamped strategy could help revive the group. The Guardian (London)/Poverty Matters blog (8/15) Share:      Why gauging development deliverables is so difficult Determining why some foreign aid projects succeed while others fail requires a number of factors to be considered, writes Kevin Watkins, executive director of the Overseas Development Institute. In addition to performance management, "we also need to turn the spotlight on the political forces and power relationships that deliver poor-quality services and perpetuate high levels of inequality," Watkins argues.
