"Putting Climate in the Service of Public Health": This project applies 
climate forecasts from the Earth Institute (Columbia University) to 
improve the timing of preventive public health activities in order to 
cost-effectively reduce childhood illnesses. This project is a 
collaboration with the National Medical School of Mali and the Niono 
District Health Office, and we are tracking the monthly variation in 
childhood illnesses in 11 communities of Niono, a partially irrigated 
district in Mali. The program works through the IMCI program's clinical 
and community components, and uses a calendar approach to organize the 
triggering of climate/seasonal dependent recommendations for enhanced 
public health activities.

"Season Smart":  Dr. Findley directs a pilot test of a program to tailor 
the UNICEF/WHO child health program, the integrated management of 
childhood illnesses, to the seasonal variability of childhood illnesses in 
the Sahel. The pilot project is being implemented in the district of 
Barouelli, Segou, Mali.
