Tabebuia

Flowering Araguaney or ipê-amarelo (Tabebuia chrysantha) in central Brazil

Scientific classification

Kingdom: Plantae

(unranked): Angiosperms

(unranked): Eudicots

(unranked): Asterids

Order: Lamiales

Family: Bignoniaceae

Tribe: Tecomeae

Genus: Tabebuia

Gomez

Species

Nearly 100.

Tabebuia is a neotropical genus of about 100 species in the tribe Tecomeae of the family Bignoniaceae. The species range from northern Mexico and the Antilles south to northern Argentina and central Venezuela, including the Caribbean islands of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti) and Cuba. Well-known common names include Ipê, Poui, trumpet trees and pau d'arco.

They are large shrubs and trees growing to 5 to 50 m (16 to 160 ft.) tall depending on the species; many species are dry-season deciduous but some are evergreen. The leaves are opposite pairs, complex or palmately compound with 3–7 leaflets.

Tabebuia is a notable flowering tree. The flowers are 3 to 11 cm (1 to 4 in.) wide and are produced in dense clusters. They present a cupular calyx campanulate to tubular, truncate, bilabiate or 5-lobed. Corolla colors vary between species ranging from white, light pink, yellow, lavender, magenta, or red. The outside texture of the flower tube is either glabrous or pubescentThe fruit is a dehiscent pod, 10 to 50 cm (4 to 20 in.) long, containing numerous—in some species winged—seeds. These pods often remain on the tree through dry season until the beginning of the rainy.

Species in this genus are important as timber trees. The wood is used for furniture, decking, and other outdoor uses. It is increasingly popular as a decking material due to its insect resistance and durability. By 2007, FSC-certified ipê wood had become readily available on the market, although certificates are occasionally forged.

Tabebuia is widely used as ornamental tree in the tropics in landscaping gardens, public squares, and boulevards due to its impressive and colorful flowering. Many flowers appear on still leafless stems at the end of the dry season, making the floral display more conspicuous. They are useful as honey plants for bees, and are popular with certain hummingbirds. Naturalist Madhaviah Krishnan on the other hand once famously took offense at ipé grown in India, where it is not native.

Lapacho teaThe bark of several species has medical properties. The bark is dried, shredded, and then boiled making a bitter or sour-tasting brownish-colored tea. Tea from the inner bark of Pink Ipê (T. impetiginosa) is known as Lapacho or Taheebo. Its main active principles are lapachol, quercetin, and other flavonoids. It is also available in pill form. The herbal remedy is typically used during flu and cold season and for easing smoker's cough. It apparently works as expectorant, by promoting the lungs to cough up and free deeply embedded mucus and contaminants. However, lapachol is rather toxic and therefore a more topical use e.g. as antibiotic or pesticide may be advisable. Other species with significant folk medical use are T. alba and Yellow Lapacho (T. serratifolia)

Tabebuia heteropoda, T. incana, and other species are occasionally used as an additive to the entheogenic drink Ayahuasca.

Mycosphaerella tabebuiae, a plant pathogenic sac fungus, was first discovered on an ipê tree.

Está na lista de espécies ameaçadas do estado de São Paulo, onde é encontrda também no domínio da Mata Atlântica[1].

Ocorre também na Argentina, Paraguai, Bolívia, Equador, Peru, Venezuela, Guiana, El Salvador, Guatemala e Panamá[2].

Há uma espécie homônima descrita por A.H. Gentry em 1992.

Outros nomes populares: ipê-amarelo, ipê-cascudo, ipê-do-campo, ipê-pardo, pau-d'arco-do-campo, piúva, tarumã.

Características

Altura de 6 a 14 m. Tronco tortuso com até 50 cm de diâmetro. Folhas pilosas em ambas as faces, mais na inferior, que é mais clara.

Planta decídua, heliófita, xerófita, nativa do cerrado em solos bem drenados.

Floresce de julho a setembro. Os frutos amadurecem de setembro a outubro.

FloresProduz grande quantidade de sementes leves, aladas com pequenas reservas, e que perdem a viabilidade em menos de 90 dias após coleta. A sua conservação vem sendo estudada em termos de determinação da condição ideal de armazenamento, e tem demonstrado a importância de se conhecer o comportamento da espécie quando armazenada com diferentes teores de umidade inicial, e a umidade de equilíbrio crítica para a espécie (KANO; MÁRQUEZ & KAGEYAMA, 1978). As levíssimas sementes aladas da espécie não necessitam de quebra de dormência. Podem apenas ser expostas ao sol por cerca de 6 horas e semeadas diretamente nos saquinhos. A germinação ocorre após 30 dias e de 80%. As sementes são ortodoxas e há aproximadamente 72 000 sementes em cada quilo.

O desenvolvimento da planta é rápido.

Como outros ipês, a madeira é usada em tacos, assoalhos, e em dormentes e postes. Presta-se também para peças torneadas e instrumento musicais.

 

Tabebuia alba (Ipê-Amarelo)

Texto, em português, produzido pela Acadêmica Giovana Beatriz Theodoro Marto

Supervisão e orientação do Prof. Luiz Ernesto George Barrichelo e do Eng. Paulo Henrique Müller

Atualizado em 10/07/2006

 

O ipê amarelo é a árvore brasileira mais conhecida, a mais cultivada e, sem dúvida nenhuma, a mais bela. É na verdade um complexo de nove ou dez espécies com características mais ou menos semelhantes, com flores brancas, amarelas ou roxas. Não há região do país onde não exista pelo menos uma espécie dele, porém a existência do ipê em habitat natural nos dias atuais é rara entre a maioria das espécies (LORENZI,2000).

A espécie Tabebuia alba, nativa do Brasil, é uma das espécies do gênero Tabebuia que possui “Ipê Amarelo” como nome popular. O nome alba provém de albus (branco em latim) e é devido ao tomento branco dos ramos e folhas novas.

As árvores desta espécie proporcionam um belo espetáculo com sua bela floração na arborização de ruas em algumas cidades brasileiras. São lindas árvores que embelezam e promovem um colorido no final do inverno. Existe uma crença popular de que quando o ipê-amarelo floresce não vão ocorrer mais geadas. Infelizmente, a espécie é considerada vulnerável quanto à ameaça de extinção.

A Tabebuia alba, natural do semi-árido alagoano está adaptada a todas as regiões fisiográficas, levando o governo, por meio do Decreto nº 6239, a transformar a espécie como a árvore símbolo do estado, estando, pois sob a sua tutela, não mais podendo ser suprimida de seus habitats naturais.

Taxonomia

Família: Bignoniaceae

Espécie: Tabebuia Alba (Chamiso) Sandwith

Sinonímia botânica: Handroanthus albus (Chamiso) Mattos; Tecoma alba Chamisso

Outros nomes vulgares: ipê-amarelo, ipê, aipê, ipê-branco, ipê-mamono, ipê-mandioca, ipê-ouro, ipê-pardo, ipê-vacariano, ipê-tabaco, ipê-do-cerrado, ipê-dourado, ipê-da-serra, ipezeiro, pau-d’arco-amarelo, taipoca.

Aspectos Ecológicos

O ipê-amarelo é uma espécie heliófita (Planta adaptada ao crescimento em ambiente aberto ou exposto à luz direta) e decídua (que perde as folhas em determinada época do ano). Pertence ao grupo das espécies secundárias iniciais (DURIGAN & NOGUEIRA, 1990).

Abrange a Floresta Pluvial da Mata Atlântica e da Floresta Latifoliada Semidecídua, ocorrendo principalmente no interior da Floresta Primária Densa. É característica de sub-bosques dos pinhais, onde há regeneração regular.

Informações Botânicas

Morfologia

As árvores de Tabebuia alba possuem cerca de 30 metros de altura. O tronco é reto ou levemente tortuoso, com fuste de 5 a 8 m de altura. A casca externa é grisáceo-grossa, possuindo fissuras longitudinais esparas e profundas. A coloração desta é cinza-rosa intenso, com camadas fibrosas, muito resistentes e finas, porém bem distintas.

Com ramos grossos, tortuosos e compridos, o ipê-amarelo possui copa alongada e alargada na base. As raízes de sustentação e absorção são vigorosas e profundas.

As folhas, deciduais, são opostas, digitadas e compostas. A face superior destas folhas é verde-escura, e, a face inferior, acinzentada, sendo ambas as faces tomentosas. Os pecíolos das folhas medem de 2,5 a 10 cm de comprimento. Os folíolos, geralmente, apresentam-se em número de 5 a 7, possuindo de 7 a 18 cm de comprimento por 2 a 6 cm de largura. Quando jovem estes folíolos são densamente pilosos em ambas as faces. O ápice destes é pontiagudo, com base arredondada e margem serreada.

As flores, grandes e lanceoladas, são de coloração amarelo-ouro. Possuem em média 8X15 cm.

Quanto aos frutos, estes possuem forma de cápsula bivalvar e são secos e deiscentes. Do tipo síliqua, lembram uma vagem. Medem de 15 a 30 cm de comprimento por 1,5 a 2,5 cm de largura. As valvas são finamente tomentosas com pêlos ramificados. Possuem grande quantidade de sementes.

As sementes são membranáceas brilhantes e esbranquiçadas, de coloração marrom. Possuem de 2 a 3 cm de comprimento por 7 a 9 mm de largura e são aladas.

Reprodução

A espécie é caducifólia e a queda das folhas coincide com o período de floração. A floração inicia-se no final de agosto, podendo ocorrer alguma variação devido a fenômenos climáticos. Como a espécie floresce no final do inverno é influenciada pela intensidade do mesmo. Quanto mais frio e seco for o inverno, maior será a intensidade da florada do ipê amarelo.

As flores por sua exuberância, atraem abelhas e pássaros, principalmente beija-flores que são importantes agentes polinizadores. Segundo CARVALHO (2003), a espécie possui como vetor de polinização a abelha mamangava (Bombus morio).

As sementes são dispersas pelo vento.

A planta é hermafrodita, e frutifica nos meses de setembro, outubro, novembro, dezembro, janeiro e fevereiro, dependendo da sua localização. Em cultivo, a espécie inicia o processo reprodutivo após o terceiro ano.

Ocorrência Natural

Ocorre naturalmente na Floresta Estaciobal Semidecicual, Floresta de Araucária e no Cerrado.

Segundo o IBGE, a Tabebuia alba (Cham.) Sandw. é uma árvore do Cerrado, Cerradão e Mata Seca. Apresentando-se nos campos secos (savana gramíneo-lenhosa), próximo às escarpas.

Clima

Segundo a classificação de Köppen, o ipê-amarelo abrange locais de clima tropical (Aw), subtropical úmido (Cfa), sutropical de altitude (Cwa e Cwb) e temperado.

A T.alba pode tolerar até 81 geadas em um ano. Ocorre em locais onde a temperatura média anual varia de 14,4ºC como mínimo e 22,4ºC como máximo.

Solo

A espécie prefere solos úmidos, com drenagem lenta e geralmente não muito ondulados (LONGHI, 1995).

Aparece em terras de boa à média fertilidade, em solos profundos ou rasos, nas matas e raramente cerradões (NOGUEIRA, 1977).

Pragas e Doenças

De acordo com CARVALHO (2003), possui como praga a espécie de coleópteros Cydianerus bohemani da família Curculionoideae e um outro coleóptero da família Chrysomellidae. Apesar da constatação de elevados índices populacionais do primeiro, os danos ocasionados até o momento são leves. Nas praças e ruas de Curitiba - PR, 31% das árvores foram atacadas pela Cochonilha Ceroplastes grandis.

ZIDKO (2002), ao estudar no município de Piracicaba a associação de coleópteros em espécies arbóreas, verificou a presença de insetos adultos da espécie Sitophilus linearis da família de coleópteros, Curculionidae, em estruturas reprodutivas. Os insetos adultos da espécie emergiram das vagens do ipê, danificando as sementes desta espécie nativa.

ANDRADE (1928) assinalou diversas espécies de Cerambycidae atacando essências florestais vivas, como ingazeiro, cinamomo, cangerana, cedro, caixeta, jacarandá, araribá, jatobá, entre outras como o ipê amarelo.

A Madeira

A Tabebuia alba produz madeira de grande durabilidade e resistência ao apodrecimento (LONGHI,1995).

MANIERI (1970) caracteriza o cerne desta espécie como de cor pardo-havana-claro, pardo-havan-escuro, ou pardo-acastanhado, com reflexos esverdeados. A superfície da madeira é irregularmente lustrosa, lisa ao tato, possuindo textura media e grã-direita.

Com densidade entre 0,90 e 1,15 grama por centímetro cúbico, a madeira é muito dura (LORENZI, 1992), apresentando grande dificuldade ao serrar.

A madeira possui cheiro e gosto distintos. Segundo LORENZI (1992), o cheiro característico é devido à presença da substância lapachol, ou ipeína.

Usos da Madeira

Sendo pesada, com cerne escuro, adquire grande valor comercial na marcenaria e carpintaria. Também é utilizada para fabricação de dormentes, moirões, pontes, postes, eixos de roda, varais de carroça, moendas de cana, etc.

Produtos Não-Madeireiros

A entrecasca do ipê-amarelo possui propriedades terapêuticas como adstringente, usada no tratamento de garganta e estomatites. É também usada como diurético.

O ipê-amarelo possui flores melíferas e que maduras podem ser utilizadas na alimentação humana.

Outros Usos

É comumente utilizada em paisagismo de parques e jardins pela beleza e porte. Além disso, é muito utilizada na arborização urbana.

Segundo MOREIRA & SOUZA (1987), o ipê-amarelo costuma povoar as beiras dos rios sendo, portanto, indicado para recomposição de matas ciliares. MARTINS (1986), também cita a espécie para recomposição de matas ciliares da Floresta Estacional Semidecidual, abrangendo alguns municípios das regiões Norte, Noroeste e parte do Oeste do Estado do Paraná.

Aspectos Silviculturais

Possui a tendência a crescer reto e sem bifurcações quando plantado em reflorestamento misto, pois é espécie monopodial. A desrrama se faz muito bem e a cicatrização é boa. Sendo assim, dificilmente encopa quando nova, a não ser que seja plantado em parques e jardins.

Ao ser utilizada em arborização urbana, o ipê amarelo requer podas de condução com freqüência mediana.

Espécie heliófila apresenta a pleno sol ramificação cimosa, registrando-se assim dicotomia para gema apical. Deve ser preconizada, para seu melhor aproveitamento madeireiro, podas de formação usuais (INQUE et al., 1983).

Produção de Mudas

A propagação deve realizada através de enxertia.

Os frutos devem ser coletados antes da dispersão, para evitar a perda de sementes. Após a coleta as sementes são postas em ambiente ventilado e a extração é feita manualmente. As sementes do ipê amarelo são ortodoxas, mantendo a viabilidade natural por até 3 meses em sala e por até 9 meses em vidro fechado, em câmara fria.

A condução das mudas deve ser feita a pleno sol. A muda atinge cerca de 30 cm em 9 meses, apresentando tolerância ao sol 3 semanas após a germinação.

Sementes

Os ipês, espécies do gênero Tabebuia, produzem uma grande quantidade de sementes leves, aladas com pequenas reservas, e que perdem a viabilidade em poucos dias após a sua coleta. A sua conservação vem sendo estudada em termos de determinação da condição ideal de armazenamento, e tem demonstrado a importância de se conhecer o comportamento da espécie quando armazenada com diferentes teores de umidade inicial, e a umidade de equilíbrio crítica para a espécie (KANO; MÁRQUEZ & KAGEYAMA, 1978).

As levíssimas sementes aladas da espécie não necessitam de quebra de dormência. Podem apenas ser expostas ao sol por cerca de 6 horas e semeadas diretamente nos saquinhos. A quebra natural leva cerca de 3 meses e a quebra na câmara leva 9 meses. A germinação ocorre após 30 dias e de 80%.

As sementes são ortodoxas e há aproximadamente 87000 sementes em cada quilo.

Preço da Madeira no Mercado

O preço médio do metro cúbico de pranchas de ipê no Estado do Pará cotado em Julho e Agosto de 2005 foi de R$1.200,00 o preço mínimo, R$ 1509,35 o médio e R$ 2.000,00 o preço máximo (CEPEA,2005).

Via its simple principle of a fourth expanding dimension, LTD Theory provides a unifying, foundational *physical* model underlying relativity, quantum mechanics, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, and the second law of thermodynamics. The detailed diagrams demonstrate that the great mysteries of quantum mechanical nonlocality, entanglement, and probability naturally arise from the very same principle that fosters relativity alongside light's constant velocity, the equivalence of mass and energy, and time dilation.

Rolls-Royce’s automotive principles are precise and conclusive, directed to continuously build opulent vehicles that satisfy the souls of their eclectic class of wealthy owners. From American mattress distributors to Middle Eastern Princes to Japanese artists, the ideological beliefs, business savvy and success of each customer is as diverse as the convergence of people and cultures in New York City. For this reason, the British purveyor of finely-crafted machines from Goodwood, England, always reinvents itself and influences the planet with stately chariots such as the breathtaking Wraith Black Badge, which we recently experienced for a long weekend in my hometown of Silver Spring, MD.

Regarding the award-winning physicist Dr. Elliot McGucken at Princeton University, the late John Archibald Wheeler stated, "More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than Elliot McGucken's I have never seen in any senior or graduate student. . . Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet."

 

Dr. E would go on to heal the blind with his NSF-funded, award-winning Ph.D. dissertation which also laid down the foundations of Light Time Dimension Theory. Over the years, LTD Theory added foundational *physical* postulates, principles, and equations en route to becoming numerous books, with this one forming the simple, illustrated introduction.

The great thing about the beach is that it presents an entirely different universe from season to season, from day to day, from hour to hour, from second to second, with the ever changing wind, tides, clouds, and sun. A split second with tumbling surf and a sinking sun can make a vast different, resulting in entirely different photographs.

The Pilates Approach of body conditioning called the group of muscles in our center or the core, likewise called the “powerhouse”. This includes our abdominal area, lower back, hips and butts. Inning accordance with Pilates, all energy required for the exercises begin with the powerhouse, then streams external to the extremities. The physical energy is then put in from the core to collaborate one’s motions. In this method, a strong and powerful structure is built on which to rely in everyday living.

 

While Pilates draws from a variety of varied workout designs, bringing the concepts of yoga, Greek and Roman perfects and Zen together, there are generally particular judgment concepts that are intrinsic to the Pilates Technique of body conditioning. These concepts are the ones that bring all those suitables together under the Pilates name. These consist of focusing, concentration, control, accuracy, breathing and streaming motion. Let’s have a look at these concepts one by one.

 

The Pilates Technique of body conditioning, established by the famous German nationwide Joseph Pilates, normally follows thoroughly set out concepts based upon a sound philosophical and theoretical structure. It is thought about throughout the world as a type of workout, there is really much more to the Pilates Approach of body conditioning than its being a workout. It is not simply a collection of workouts however a technique, established and fine-tuned over more than eighty years of usage and observation.

 

Concentration

 

Under this concept, the Pilates Approach of body conditioning needs you to focus on exactly what you are doing, all the time. Together with this, you need to likewise focus on your whole body. As soon as you begin actually to focus and focus to your body, you will discover a motion which might have appeared basic in the beginning glace, however really rather intricate.

 

Control

 

On its the majority of fundamental, the Pilates Approach of body conditioning teaches total muscle control. Careless and haphazard motions are not consisted of in this technique. Rather, extensive concentration is needs so that you will be in control of every element of every motion. It is essential to keep in mind that this 3rd concept does not just use to the big movements of limbs, however likewise to the position of fingers, toes and head, even the degree of arching or flatness of the back, the turning in or out of the legs, and the rotation of the wrists.

 

Accuracy

 

Every motion associated with the Pilates Approach of body conditioning has a function. Therefore, every guideline is seriously essential to the success of the entire. As exactly what lots of professionals frequently state, to leave out any information is to desert the intrinsic worth of the Pilates Technique of body conditioning. The primary focus here is on doing one exact and ideal motion, which might ultimately end up being force of habit and be rollovered into daily life as economy and grace of motion.

 

Breathing

 

Complete and extensive inhalation and exhalation become part of the Pilates Approach of body conditioning. Pilates, in the very first location, saw required exhalation as the secret to complete inhalation. Breathing should be done with concentration, control and accuracy. It ought to be appropriately collaborated with motion.

 

Fluidity

 

The Pilates Approach of body conditioning is carried out fluidly. There is no fixed, separated motion for that out bodies do not naturally work that method. Grace of movement should be highlighted over speed. Eventually, Pilates motions must feel as fluid as a waltz or a long stride. As exactly what the Pilates Approach of body conditioning keeps, evenly established muscles are the trick to excellent posture, natural grace and flexibility.

CAMPUS - Prof. Han Slawik Architect

 

Principles for the realization of the temporary project 'Campus' - with a life of 5 years - were:

· Mont table> removable> remo table

· Use of containers

· Use of industrially manufactured products

· Reuse of building elements

· Experiments in function space and construction

 

Reflected these essential ideas in the realized object:

· Building elements are fully equipped with demountable connections

· Modular design with seven shipping containers 20 ft (6 m​​)

· Standard products: concrete slabs (Stelcon) for foundation, kasgevelsysteem for the greenhouse-like gap

· Formwork girders as supports between the containers, scrap wood floors

· Dealing with limited dimensions of containers, Space spiral staircase with a crooked pole

 

Experiences with the use of the object:

· Mounted vertically containers give additional problems in connections and seals

· Second components are labor intensive and maintenance

 

De Realiteit, Almere NL - On the south bank of the Noorderplassen in Almere is situated “De Realiteit” (The Reality). An unusual name for a street. Seventeen winning designs of the Second Competition of “De Fantasie” (The Fantasy) were built here in 1986. A year earlier the foundation organized "Fantasy" a design entitled "Temporary Housing". The prizes consisted of land, plots of approximately 20x20 m, where the winners, 17 could realize their ideas. By their nature offered the opportunity to contest the freest design, especially as the building codes did not have to be observed. Concepts such as removable, repositionable, limited life were central. The decommissioning of the building regulations meant that the awarded works were to be considered temporary. The participants knew in advance that the normal funding, namely the mortgage, was not available because of the transitory character. Nevertheless today (after 27 years) the houses are still present and inhabited and most are in good condition.

Someone's in trouble....

Warren Stratford poly resin professions figurines. orn in Victoria, BC, Canada in July of 1965, Warren is a pioneer of highly detailed comic art.

 

He has adhered to fine art sculpting principles throughout his long career and is considered the most consistently representative comic sculpture in the world.

 

As a youth in the Fairfield area of Victoria, Warren was encouraged by a number of mentors and teachers to sculpt in the free-standing form, a practice he has never strayed from. One of his funniest memories was when he was a young and impressionable teenager in an advanced sculpting class. Warren was enthusiastic when the teacher said they were going to sculpt a live model one evening. He was not quite prepared as the beautiful woman completely disrobed on the stage in front of the students. Being the shy, youngest member of the class he quickly turned around and sculptured a very long haired woman rising out of a rock at the waist. The model was not pleased with his work but the teacher loved it!

 

warren stratfordWarren soon began to concern himself with his lifelong objective: portraying the variations of humor and atmosphere brought on by comical things he thinks about. Rather than copy others as was the traditional practice of young artists, Warren learned from people around him, from the landscape itself, and from the works of his older contemporaries. Warren’s representation of humor are based on his observations of people he meets and interviews.

 

He often shows natural color by breaking it down into its different components as a prism does. Eliminating dull and boring from his palette, Warren rejected entirely the academic approach to comic sculpting.

 

Warren gIn the Signature Series Warren allows his vision of light to dissolve the real structures of his subjects. To do this he chose simple subjects, making several humorous studies of the same subject at different occupations or activities.

 

Warren shares his time between Asia and his home town Victoria. Look for more Signature Series as Warren is always finding humor wherever he goes.

 

Warren’s work is particularly well represented in shops around the world. It is also included in many famous private collections.

ANCHORING GENDER AND HUMAN RIGHTS PRINCIPLES IN POLICIES FOR A SUSTAINABLE AND EFFECTIVE HIV RESPONSE

 

For a national agency such as NACA coordinating various activities of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, information is key in the assessment and determination of a country’s level of success and gaps in the continued fight to end the HIV and TB epidemics. It is also key in informing the development of strategies or review of policies and frameworks to counter approaches that are not working and to increase the impact of interventions in the response.

 

This is one of the reasons why Dr. Yinka Falola-Anoemuah, the Deputy Director, in charge of Gender, Human Rights and Care Support Services at the National Agency for Control of AIDS appreciates the wealth of information, experiences and networks gained from participating in the capacity building programmes for health workers, law enforcement officers, parliamentarians, lawyers, judges and human rights institutions made possible by the Africa Regional Grant on HIV: Removing Legal Barriers. It is a multi-year grant supported by the Global Fund and implemented by UNDP that addresses human rights barriers faced by vulnerable communities in 10 countries.

 

“The regional forums have allowed me to learn from what other countries are doing, reflect on the situation in my country, and identify ways of pulling everybody to work together,” said Yinka.

 

The biggest hurdle for NACA at the onset was to establish the relevance of gender, human rights and its impact on the HIV response. This was in an environment challenged with the lack of understanding and the general fear around key populations due to the criminalizing laws like the Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act of 2013. “This law gives people fear that they shouldn't work with this population as they are not recognized within the system. This is in addition to a lot of social, cultural and religious biases and stereotypes that people bring on board,” she says.

 

In addition, the institution lacked funding, tools and skills to build the capacity of various stakeholders to understand issues affecting key and vulnerable populations and the impact on the HIV response. Moreover, the existing Gender Technical Working Group was not very robust in terms of bringing in all significant stakeholders.

 

When Yinka joined NACA, they began by building the capacity of stakeholders internally to appreciate the issues on gender, human rights, and vulnerable populations and the subsequent impact these issues had on the progress made to achieve the targets. “From there, we identified other stakeholders, who included the health workers coordinated by Ministry of Health and other leaders at the federal level,” said Yinka.

 

NACA’s initial attempts to get the Ministry of Health on board the gender working group was not very successful as the representative did not appreciate the impact of stigma from health workers on the patient community especially women and key populations. “We need to have within us frameworks, policies, training manuals on what stigma is, what gender issues are and how to put them into consideration as we plan for the sector and then in training healthcare professionals to ensure they get into the system while appreciating the critical issues at hand,” Yinka had explained.

 

They experienced similar challenges in trying to advocate for the same issues among parliamentarians. However, thanks to the regional training under the Africa Regional Grant on HIV, several Federal and State Parliamentarians have benefitted from capacity building trainings. This turned NACA’s interventions around and has resulted in having champions amongst the leaders with a better understanding of the importance of gender and human rights in HIV and TB programming. They have helped to facilitate increases in health budgets. Besides, Nigerian key populations themselves are benefiting because they are also part of the regional capacity-building efforts and have been given a space for dialogue with stakeholders.

 

“The engagements with Enda Santé and the parliamentarians was a very good one for me. Some of our parliamentarians also participated at KELIN’s training. In-country, we were not talking to ourselves so we didn’t fully understand the challenges facing the response. Bringing diverse and relevant stakeholders, working together to achieve the same results at a regional level was very instrumental for me. We all saw how other countries were making progress. That was the first time I met somebody from the Senate and we were able to talk at that level. That is how we established a relationship, outside Nigeria, at the airport, going for a regional meeting. And then we took the spirit back home,” Yinka reflected.

 

Having parliamentarians as champions for the response has translated to a lot of gains. “Even the increase in the budget appropriation that we had was the result of these efforts. The first year, they gave us more than what we requested. We were used to having no money. So by the time he understood it, he was able to mobilize his colleagues and they put money for gender and human rights work. And that was a very strong achievement for me,” she said. They are now looking at ways to build the capacity of more clerks of the House of Representative and clerks of the Senate to ensure the sustainability of the progress made as some of the leaders move to different roles in the course of their political careers.

 

NACA also leveraged other platforms such as the technical working groups within the Ministry of Health (treatment and testing groups) and trained them on gender and human rights matters captured within the strategic frameworks, as the core principles of business so they could start integrating the best practices at that level within their work. A change in the leadership at the Ministry also helped with the advancement of the interventions.

 

Also, they leveraged existing resources to demonstrate the value for gender and human rights mainstreaming in the country’s response. For example, a 2013 gender assessment of the response was timely to help NACA seek a stronger commitment from the Ministry of Health and served as an advocacy tool that demonstrated the existing issues that needed to be addressed. This culminated with the ministry coming onboard the Gender and Human Rights Technical Working Group.

 

The working group now brings all stakeholders including community members, women, and key populations to articulate their issues to inform interventions. NACA builds its capacity to engage with policymakers and stakeholders. The group serves as a gender team for health response and other sectors. “They are making a lot of progress. In August 2019, they looked at the National Health Policy and they now have a document that we call Gender in Health following a validation meeting. The document integrates issues of left out populations, like key populations because our team was with them to ensure that was achieved,” noted Yinka. The human rights-based approach elements have also been integrated into the National HIV AIDS Community Care and Support Guidelines to give guidance on what aspects of the HIV response need to be implemented outside the health facilities in a bid to address structural issues impacting on HIV and TB in the country.

 

On another level, the regional engagements provided an opportunity to strengthen the access to justice for affected vulnerable communities, experiencing stigma and discrimination due to their HIV status. NACA works with lawyers who participated in the KELIN and the Enda Santé trainings. “We were able to form them into a coalition that provides pro bono services to cases of stigma and discrimination. When people stigmatize, it is a lack of understanding of the science of HIV. Despite challenges around resourcing and availability for court appearances, we have some successes and are trying to document some of the cases that have achieved success in court. As a result of the massive campaign around stigma and discrimination, some of the cases are resolved out of court through mediation. We're trying to document that as well,” Yinka explained.

 

Together with the Global Fund, UNDP is working with four leading African civil society organizations — the AIDS and Rights Alliance for Southern Africa, ENDA Santé, KELIN, and the Southern Africa Litigation Centre — through the Africa Regional Grant on HIV to address human rights barriers faced by vulnerable communities in Africa, and facilitate access to lifesaving health care. The programme aims to remove legal and policy barriers by providing documentation of human rights violations, advocacy support, strategic litigation and capacity strengthening for key stakeholders. At the regional level, the project provides intensive capacity strengthening opportunities for key stakeholders, like Dr. Yinka Falola, who will escalate the gained knowledge to impact the HIV and TB response in their countries and communities. The countries include Botswana, Cote D’Ivoire, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Senegal, Seychelles, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.

 

“The insight gained has helped us to harness some of the resources and opportunities we didn't know we have within us and now we work together. Institutionalizing the human rights-based approach means sustainability, because the moment that it is there within the government, it means all the officers including the younger officers are part of this and they are mentored and it becomes a system and that's the kind of system I think we need in Africa to address arising challenges in a sustainable manner. Thank you to the project for helping us put that together,” Yinka concludes.
