Book From Policy to Practice

Download or read book From Policy to Practice written by Anjali Mohan Bhatia and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis is the study of a major policy change in the management of irrigation systems in Andhra Pradesh, India. The policy change was implemented with a {u2018}big bang{u2019}, and provided for decentralized management of irrigation systems, by creating Water User Associations for all irrigation systems in the state. The overall objective of the research was to identify and analyze why a reform process launched with strong political support nonetheless failed to meet its objectives. It is hypothesized that policy implementation remained poor due to inconsistencies in policy, legislation and institutions. The study of the policy formulation stage highlights that the role of a few stakeholders was critical in driving the policy process and had an impact on policy content. Analysis suggests that such top down policy processes face severe resistance to implementation from existing stakeholder networks while the failure of democratic processes inhibit policy implementation. The research explores the impact of system design on resource characteristics and management options and finds that the scope of policy outcomes are limited by the existing irrigation system designs that do not support decentralized management. The research examines the impact of functional decentralization on existing irrigation bureaucracy and the impact of their adverse response to policy adoption. Democratic processes are scrutinized to study their impact on functional effectiveness of water user associations. The analysis suggests that providing for a democratic process does not guarantee participation. The research highlights that effectiveness of a policy depends on changing the existing power structures and organizational accountability mechanisms in order to address underlying (perverse) incentive structures. The analysis of this research also suggests that there is a need to interpret the theoretical underpinnings of representative democracy with caution and within the contexts of rural realities of patronage-type village structures that exist.

Book On the Waterfront

Download or read book On the Waterfront written by Peter P. Mollinga and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the struggle over water in a large-scale irrigation system in Raichur District, Karnataka, South India. It looks at water control as a simultaneously technical, managerial and socio-political process. The triangle of accommodation of different categories of farmers, irrigation department officials and local politicians, involving water, votes, money, employment, credit and harassment, is documented. The book shows that the physical infrastructure, notably the division structures, are signposts of struggle, expressing the balance of power between farmers and the irrigation department, and that between head- and tail-end farmers. It concludes with a discussion of irrigation reform efforts in India: reasons for the very slow transformation of the sector, and how a more integrated perspective on irrigation could provide directions for the way forward.

Book Sustainable Intensification

Download or read book Sustainable Intensification written by Jules N. Pretty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continued population growth, rapidly changing consumption patterns and the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation are driving limited resources of food, energy, water and materials towards critical thresholds worldwide. These pressures are likely to be substantial across Africa, where countries will have to find innovative ways to boost crop and livestock production to avoid becoming more reliant on imports and food aid. Sustainable agricultural intensification - producing more output from the same area of land while reducing the negative environmental impacts - represents a solution for millions of African farmers. This volume presents the lessons learned from 40 sustainable agricultural intensification programmes in 20 countries across Africa, commissioned as part of the UK Government's Foresight project. Through detailed case studies, the authors of each chapter examine how to develop productive and sustainable agricultural systems and how to scale up these systems to reach many more millions of people in the future. Themes covered include crop improvements, agroforestry and soil conservation, conservation agriculture, integrated pest management, horticulture, livestock and fodder crops, aquaculture, and novel policies and partnerships.
