This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pour guider ces activités, l’IFPRI a mis au point un cadre conceptuel qui intègre aux contributions de l’USAID et de ses partenaires opérationnels les dimensions de résilience climatique, de genre et de nutrition. L’objet de ce cadre est d’identifier et de décrire les principaux éléments de résilience, tout en mettant en lumière ses interconnexions avec le genre et la nutrition. Son but est de fournir aux acteurs de disciplines et d’origines variées un point de référence commun pour comprendre ces enjeux complexes et leurs liens réciproques. Ce cadre peut également être utilisé pour déceler les déficits de recherche et de preuves et mettre en exergue les angles d’attaque des programmes et projets qui visent à influencer les résultats, notamment en matière de résilience, de nutrition ou d’autonomisation des femmes.
Download or read book PROMOTION DE LA SANTE ET AUTONOMISATION DANS LE CONTEXTE AFRICAIN written by David HouŽto and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.

Download or read book Women and Trade written by World Bank;World Trade Organization and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade can dramatically improve women’s lives, creating new jobs, enhancing consumer choices, and increasing women’s bargaining power in society. It can also lead to job losses and a concentration of work in low-skilled employment. Given the complexity and specificity of the relationship between trade and gender, it is essential to assess the potential impact of trade policy on both women and men and to develop appropriate, evidence-based policies to ensure that trade helps to enhance opportunities for all. Research on gender equality and trade has been constrained by limited data and a lack of understanding of the connections among the economic roles that women play as workers, consumers, and decision makers. Building on new analyses and new sex-disaggregated data, Women and Trade: The Role of Trade in Promoting Gender Equality aims to advance the understanding of the relationship between trade and gender equality and to identify a series of opportunities through which trade can improve the lives of women.

Download or read book 2012 Global Hunger Index written by Klaus von Grebmer and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2012 Global Hunger Index (GHI) report--the seventh in an annual series--presents a multidimensional measure of global, regional, and national hunger. It shows that progress in reducing the proportion of hungry people in the world has been tragically slow. According to the index, hunger on a global scale remains "serious." The 2012 GHI report also focuses particularly on how to ensure sustainable food security under conditions of land, water, and energy stress. The stark reality is that the world needs to produce more food with fewer resources, while eliminating wasteful practices and policies.
Download or read book Pastoralism and Socio technological Transformations in Northern Benin written by Georges Djohy and published by Göttingen University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastoralists throughout Africa face increasing pressures. In Benin, governmental development policies and programmes in crop farming are changing power relations between herders and farmers to favour the latter. How are the Fulani pastoralists responding to these threats to their existence? Georges Djohy explores the dynamics in local use of natural resources and in inter-ethnic relations resulting from development interventions. He combines the approaches of science and technology studies – looking at the co-construction of society and technology – and political ecology – looking at the power relations shaping the dynamics of economic, environmental and social change – so as to throw light on the forces of marginalisation, adaptation and innovation at work in northern Benin. Having worked there for many years, Djohy has been able to uncover gradual processes of socio-technological change that are happening “behind the scenes” of agricultural development involving mechanisation, herbicide use, tree planting, land registration and natural resource conservation. He reveals how farmers are using these interventions as “weapons” in order to gain more rights over larger areas of land, in other words, to support indigenous land grabbing from herders who had been using the land since decades for grazing. He documents how the Fulani are innovating to ensure their survival, e.g. by using new technologies for transport and communication, developing new strategies of livestock feeding and herd movement, and developing complementary sources of household income. The Fulani are organising themselves from local to national level to provide technological and socio-cultural services, manage conflicts and gain a stronger political voice, e.g. to be able to achieve demarcation of corridors for moving livestock through cultivated areas. They even use non-functioning mini-dairies – another example of development intervention – to demonstrate their modernity and to open up other opportunities to transform their pastoral systems. This book provides insights into normally hidden technical and social dynamics that are unexpected outcomes of development interventions.

Download or read book Accounting for Culture written by Caroline Andrew and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2005-03-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in the cultural sector argue that Canadian cultural policy is at a crossroads: that the environment for cultural policy-making has evolved substantially and that traditional rationales for state intervention no longer apply. The concept of cultural citizenship is a relative newcomer to the cultural policy landscape, and offers a potentially compelling alternative rationale for government intervention in the cultural sector. Likewise, the articulation and use of cultural indicators and of governance concepts are also new arrivals, emerging as potentially powerful tools for policy and program development. Accounting for Culture is a unique collection of essays from leading Canadian and international scholars that critically examines cultural citizenship, cultural indicators, and governance in the context of evolving cultural practices and cultural policy-making. It will be of great interest to scholars of cultural policy, communications, cultural studies, and public administration alike.

Book excerpt: This report reviews engineering's importance to human, economic, social and cultural development and in addressing the UN Millennium Development Goals. Engineering tends to be viewed as a national issue, but engineering knowledge, companies, conferences and journals, all demonstrate that it is as international as science. The report reviews the role of engineering in development, and covers issues including poverty reduction, sustainable development, climate change mitigation and adaptation. It presents the various fields of engineering around the world and is intended to identify issues and challenges facing engineering, promote better understanding of engineering and its role, and highlight ways of making engineering more attractive to young people, especially women.--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Afrotopia written by Felwine Sarr and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vibrant meditation and poetic call for an African utopian philosophy of self-reinvention for the twenty-first century In the recent aftermath of colonialism, civil wars, and the AIDS crisis, a new day finally seems to be shining on the African continent. Africa has once again become a site of creative potential and a vibrant center of economic growth and production. No longer stigmatized by stereotypes or encumbered by the traumas of the past—yet unsure of the future—Africa has other options than simply to follow paths already carved out by the global economy. Instead, the philosopher Felwine Sarr urges the continent to set out on its own renewal and self-discovery—an active utopia that requires a deep historical reflection on the continent’s vast mythological universe and ancient traditions, nourishes a cultural reinvention, and embraces green technologies for tackling climate change and demographic challenges. Through a reflection on contemporary African writers, artists, intellectuals, and musicians, Sarr elaborates Africa’s unique philosophies and notions of communal value and economy deeply rooted in its ancient traditions and landscape—concepts such as ubuntu, the life force in Dogon culture; the Rwandan imihigo; and the Senegalese teranga. Sarr takes the reader on a philosophical journey that is as much inward as outward, demanding an elevation of the collective consciousness. Along the way, one sees the contours of an africanity, a contemporary Africa united as a continent through the creolization of its cultural traditions. This is Felwine Sarr’s Afrotopia.

Book excerpt: Le recueil de 15 bonnes pratiques, publié dans le cadre du Programme conjoint sur les approches transformatives sensibles au genre pour la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition, présente des méthodes qui ont donné de bons résultats dans différents contextes. Il met en évidence les bonnes pratiques et les expériences qui contribuent à susciter des changements positifs et profonds en matière de genre, au service de la sécurité alimentaire, d’une meilleure nutrition et d’une agriculture durable. Ce recueil contient des conseils sur l’application de ces approches dans toute institution qui œuvre dans le secteur agricole et les zones rurales. Il est le fruit des contributions d’organisations très diverses qui appliquent activement ces pratiques dans les domaines de l’agriculture et du développement rural. Les approches présentées dans le recueil peuvent être mises en œuvre à différents niveaux: individuel, de la famille ou du ménage, du groupe ou de la communauté, ou encore au niveau institutionnel en partenariat avec des organisations non gouvernementales, des organisations de la société civile locales et/ou des administrations locales et des districts. Le recueil compte quatre objectifs: (i) faire le bilan et tirer les enseignements de l’application des approches existantes; (ii) servir de ressource aux organismes qui emploient déjà ces approches, afin de les aider à repérer les possibilités de renforcer leurs activités dans ce domaine ou à les relier à des interventions complémentaires; (iii) fournir des conseils sur la manière d’appliquer ces approches dans toute organisation ou institution qui s’emploie à améliorer la sécurité alimentaire, la nutrition et l’agriculture durable; (iv) faire mieux connaître et promouvoir ces approches, grâce à des exemples de bonnes pratiques ou d’initiatives réussies qui contribuent à des changements positifs, liés ou non à la question du genre, dans les domaines de la sécurité alimentaire, de la nutrition ainsi que de l’agriculture et du développement rural durables.

This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Une meilleure intégration de la nutrition dans le secteur de la foresterie est un défi commun partagé par les décideurs et les gestionnaires de programmes au niveau régional, national et local du fait du manque d’outils méthodologiques éprouvés. Pour faire face à cet enjeu, l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO), avec l’appui d’Action contre la faim (ACF), a initié entre avril et décembre 2020 un processus d’échanges et de dialogues entre les différentes parties prenantes du secteur agricole au niveau national et sous-régional issues de sept pays d’Afrique francophone (Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Mauritanie, République démocratique du Congo, Sénégal et Tchad) dans un double objectif. Expérimenter un outil méthodologique innovant pour guider de façon pratique les acteurs de la foresterie, et développer leurs capacités en matière de formulation, de mise en oeuvre et d’évaluation des politiques, programmes et investissements permettant de maximiser l’impact sur la nutrition et d’accélérer les progrès dans la lutte contre la malnutrition. Déterminer des recommandations politiques et programmatiques communes sur l’intégration de la nutrition dans les secteurs clés de l’agriculture à partir de leur expertise et de leur expérience techniques et institutionnelles dans les pays. L’approche méthodologique proposée allie la théorie à la pratique à travers le développement de la théorie du changement sectorielle ainsi que des chemins d’impact sous-sectoriels.

This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les Directives sur le droit à l’alimentation fournissent des orientations pratiques sur la façon de mettre en œuvre le droit à une alimentation adéquate dans un large éventail de domaines politiques et programmatiques, à l’aide d’une approche fondée sur les droits de l’homme. Depuis l’adoption des Directives sur le droit à l’alimentation, la FAO et ses partenaires ont créé une multitude d’outils, renforcé les capacités en la matière et animé des dialogues multipartites dans le monde entier. L’objectif de concrétisation du droit à l’alimentation pour tous est cependant encore loin d’être atteint – plus de 820 millions de personnes souffrent encore aujourd’hui de faim chronique. Cette rétrospective de quinze ans sur les Directives sur le droit à l’alimentation nous permet de comprendre ce qui a fonctionné dans le passé et pourquoi, où se situent les goulots d’étranglement et comment optimiser les actions des gouvernements et de leurs partenaires dans le cadre de la lutte contre la faim et la malnutrition.
