The film isn\u2019t about HIV\/AIDS but it does touch on it and other complex subjects so it was great to have a real pro look the film over in case there was an error. Among the many interesting things I learned while reading her research was a survey she did among rural Malawians about their development priorities. Here are the results of the survey:<\/p>\n<p>In a survey of 1259 rural villagers in Rumphi district, villagers ranked their preferences with respect to development and health in the following order:<\/p>\n<p>1. Clean Water<\/p>\n<p>2. Agricultural Development<\/p>\n<p>3. Education<\/p>\n<p>4. Health Services<\/p>\n<p>5. HIV\/AIDS services<\/p>\n<p>The reason this interests me so much is because I think most of our policy makers would presume that HIV\/AIDS is at the top. We\u2019ve got our hearts in the right place and the money too, but I really wonder about the data that guides the whole thing.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/15247760?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/15247760\">Dr. Kim Yi Dionne, A Survey of Rural Malawians, 1 of 5<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/cysfilm\">Cy Kuckenbaker<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You people?&#8217; What does that mean?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Kim Yi Dionne is a political scientist with expertise on Malawi who helped me pull the kinks out of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3072,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[81,283],"tags":[872,258,765,794],"class_list":["post-3068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","category-videos","tag-kim-yi-dionne","tag-malawi","tag-peter-mutharika","tag-research"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3068\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
