		The geography of Karonga and Chitipa provinces are varied.
		Karonga is an area where traditional beliefs, usually referred to as ATR (African Traditional Religion), is still widely practiced.
		In Karonga, then, Christians are not as resistant to go to a herbalist, since he or she does not use the plants as a charm, but only as medicine in the chemical sense.

		The Karonga programme began in 1978 with support from the British Leprosy Relief Association (LEPRA), as a population laboratory for evaluation of tools developed by the IMMLEP (Immunology of Leprosy) component of the WHO/TDR programme (the first skin and serological tests for M. leprae infection and an M. leprae antigen-based vaccine).
		It was designed initially as a large cohort study for risk factors of leprosy infection and disease, covering the entire district of Karonga (the population was selected because it had the highest burden of leprosy in that part of Africa).
		The Karonga CRS was tailored to maximise the overlap with a population based HIV cohort study (Family Health Study) that was conducted during the previous research programme.

		Despite an overall food surplus in 2001/02, the maize stocks at both national and household levels are not adequate to meet maize demand.
		Judging from press reports, the floods were not very serious, especially when compared with last year’s experience, but should serve as a warning and a reminder to prepare contingency and response plans as there is still a possibility of major floods occurring.
		In Karonga, maize supply was also boosted by a huge inflow of maize from Tanzania, some of which is finding its way to the Central and Southern Regions as well.
