Report Found Cultural Barriers Prevent Polio Eradication
MADE in Europe has completed an ethnographic research project examining the religious and cultural barriers to Polio eradication efforts in the Muslim world by engaging the diaspora in the UK.
Results and recommendations from the research have been published in a unique report outlining the ways in which various sectors of the diaspora community can get involved in prioritising public health at home and abroad.

Conclusions of this report were also framed by a Roundtable event held on January 29th 2014 in which various high-level stakeholders from mainstream and Diaspora and Muslim NGOs were present. The participants agreed it was time for the Muslim community to take ownership of the challenges faced in the Polio endemic countries of Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan.
