Apoyándose en la bibliografía latinoamericana sobre el desarrollo local y en la literatura europea de los últimos veinte años, polemiza con posturas tradicionalmente vigentes en la región, en particular aquellas que tienen una idea determinista y exógena del desarrollo y una concepción pasiva de las sociedades locales, y plantea la necesidad de nuevas interpretaciones que modifiquen la manera de abordar el tema territorial, así como el papel de los gobiernos nacionales, regionales y locales en el desarrollo. Analiza los cambios introducidos en la política territorial y muestra la relevancia de las políticas basadas en la articulación dinámica entre sujetos, prácticas sociales y proyectos políticos, ya que permiten desplegar capacidades locales que explican cómo y porqué se desarrollan los territorios. ····· 10361116545

To break this vicious cycle, it necessary to empower people so that they can gain access to the capital market. The group lending is an important idea that helps to break the shackle. Generally such group formation are voluntary. In India, however, there is an active public support system to enhance, monitor and further this system. In our study, we try to understand the efficacy of the public system in fostering this job. Most of the standard studies in this field are oriented towards the individuals who form group. In our case, the focus is different. We try to see how far the public authorities are able to fulfill their job. Using data from a poor district in India, we study growth and sustainability of Self Help Groups . We find that the public system is not very effective in provision of the necessary impetus towards the group formation. The links are weak and often non-existent.

Not only income from the off farm activities represents a significant share of the total income of rural households, but also off farm jobs absorb an increasing proportion of the rural labor among the rural poor without land. Although Uganda s agricultural sector has tended to receive some policy attentions like National Agricultural Advisory Development Services (NAADS) in rural areas, the rural poor derive their incomes from multiple sources. The data used in this study was from the Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS) 2005/06. A LOGIT MODEL with the binary outcome being the off farm participation was used. The study concluded by suggesting that the supply and demand sides in the labor market shape off farm employment. Local village conditions and demand factors as well as individual characters from the supply side act as major key aspects in determining individual s decision to participate in off farm activities, typical policies such as improvements in human capital and rural infrastructure could act as important tools for promoting and making the poor benefit from the income opportunities from the off farm sector. ····· 10361100010

It relied mainly on the use of primary and secondary data collection. The study revealed that CDAs could act as catalyst of rural development and poverty alleviation if properly positioned. It was also discovered that the positive impact of CDAs is not felt equally across various communities in Akwa Ibom State. Thus, CDAs in urban Local Government Areas have much impact on poverty alleviation than their counterparts in rural LGAs. Again, when the intended beneficiaries are allowed to play active role in the administration of the poverty alleviation programmes, such programmes stand better chances of succeeding. The study recommended, as a way forward, proper repositioning of various rural development committees in the state, partnership of the CDAs with some NGOs and development agencies as well as popular election of CDAs leaders across the state. ····· 1036199773

The consequences are decreased agricultural productivity impacting negatively on food security and adaptation capacity. Their adapting practices are socially embedded in their livelihood strategies. Their adaptation practices are compared with a scientific practice of Tradeoff Analysis (TOA) model, testing technologies in potato and sweet potato production for their economic, environmental and policy sustainability. The comparison of the two gives synergies, diverging points and trade offs which demonstrate the need and the value of integrating the two institutional frameworks through the approach of Social Shaping of Technology (SST). The study contributes to adaptation science by outlining the adaptation activities on the play ground of the smallholder farmers in Africa, analyzing the mode of integrating them with scientific modeling for future anticipatory, planned and public adaptation. The integration will facilitate adequate development and deployment of adaptation strategies for current and future climate change. ····· 1036199705

Methodologically, we use the concept of liquidity preference bank to check the reliable standard of the local economy. We sought to assess whether the bank credit affected the growth of the municipalities of the region and is rescued both the macroeconomic discussion where the orthodox theory has reference to an exchange model that leads to a general equilibrium. In this, the currency, especially credit, is available as an exogenous variable, i.e., it is seen as a mere intermediary item that increases business efficiency, or it is endogenous, where the money supply is created by market forces, according to economic needs, expressed by the demand for money. A summary of results shows high levels of liquidity preference, indicating the unwillingness of the banking system in fostering regional development.

The Third Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change draws attention to the fact that the impacts of climate change will fall disproportionately upon developing countries and the poor persons within all countries, thereby exacerbating inequities in health status and access to adequate food, clean water, and other resources. The Delhi Ministerial Declaration on Climate Change and Sustainable Development, adopted at CoP-8 (the eighth session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), also affirmed this: Developing countries are particularly vulnerable Effective and result-based measures should be supported for the development of approaches at all levels on vulnerability and adaptation, as well as capacity-building for the integration of adaptation concerns into sustainable development strategies.

The Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) government, with a view to improving local government operational efficiency and effectiveness, enacted a new local government Act in December1991, replacing the local administration act of 1980. The study reveals that whilst the 1991 local government Act provides for all local authorities to receive grants from central government, the situation obtaining in Zambia s Third Republic is that the government decided to ignore its statutory obligation to provide funding to councils. Therefore, local councils in Zambia have remained chronically short of money to the extent that they are unable to buy and maintain vital equipment many of them have been unable to pay salaries and wages on time and services to the local communities have not been adequately delivered or even not delivered at all. The study has shown that even though stringent measures and various local initiatives have been taken the gap left by non-provision of grants is difficult to be filled by the local authorities own revenue. ····· 1036199291

Alternative development with a special focus on rural areas and communities is proffered as a more diverse way to address pressing international development needs. Community capacity provides a framework for understanding the comprehensive nature of alternative development. This book unpacks the concept of community capacity and its important relationship to governance, elaborating on the understanding of community to include the local government, organizations and all stakeholders. Governance issues such as decentralization, localization, democracy and participatory practices are advocated to build community capacity and affect development. Tools to improve governance, including the logical framework, policy management cycle and evaluation are explored. The new concepts of community-driven economics and community leadership are introduced to address alternative development and community capacity building. The new A-A-A framework of community capacity develops through a post-modernist, post-positivist, qualitative look at case studies of rural revitalization in Japan and the Philippines. ····· 1036199131

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This work is motivated by the authors interest in conflict resolution mechanisms particularly at the international levels. The Lake Chad region which is the focus of this book presents an interesting scenario on transboundary water resource management.This study draws from the theory of institutional bricolage and shows that institutional arrangements following Elinor Ostrom s Design Principles do not always ensure pro-poor empowering outcomes. Ostrom s design principles do not necessarily result in empowering the less privileged because of lack of power and gender sensitivity during the institutional design. Drawing from Cleaver s view this research concludes that participation is context-specific. Not everyone benefits or pays the cost of participation equally and consequently participation is not necessarily a pre-condition for conflict resolution. Under these circumstances the poor, women and the less privileged have been identified as the losers in the new institutional arrangements in the Lake Chad basin of Northern Central Africa. ····· 1036198845

The study revealed that multidimensional causes are uncovered for the relentless inter ethnic conflicts in the region. Some causes are historical while other dimensions are intensified in the new ethnic based Federalism. Three major causes are responsible for the Anywaa-Nuer Conflicts. Competing livelihood strategies and domination in population number and language are among the causes. Struggle for over regional power is another factor. Ethnic identity in regional political struggle is intensified under the federalism structure and taken as inclusion/exclusion strategy of getting upper hands with the argument of 1st level citizen versus majority-minority status in the area. The 1980s state sponsored resettlement program of highlanders in the area brought hostility of the locals over the settlers. In the Federalism structure, regional ownership and alliance induced conflicts are also noticed between the Anwaa and the Highlanders. Over centuries, the Anywaa-Nuer conflicts were negotiated through mediators to pronouncement of rules. Recently, dispute management is politicized and hence local efforts are gradually eroded. ····· 1036198638· 1 · ::::: · 2 ·· 3 ·· 4 ·· 5 ·· 6 ·· 7 ·· 8 · ::::: · 11 ·
