This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION Socio-economic role wisdom, formerly known as "economic empowerment", is the empowerment of life partners through the distribution of productive roles in a household. It aims to limit the effects of poverty, precariousness, profanity, etc. as a burden weighing on the resource person(s), whether in the household or the community. Context of the project. “A simple kickstart could lead to great impact on community and international economic development” Community and International economic development are often under the action of NGO or Non for profit organizations. There are new trends first to get people with foreign expertise and local culture from the Diaspora of Southern countries involved in rebuilding efforts and, secondly, to organization that have independent source of revenue to sustain their activities. That why we decide to initiate this project of foundation to launch our socioeconomic action of our structure that is for profit but fall in the category of organizations that seek people better living condition as part of business other assignment. We choose to work on Diaspora unemployment leading to precarity and youth entrepreneurship as a leverage tool out of poverty.
Download or read book Ethnicity and Economy a Calm Lifetime Endeavour written by Arnaud Segla and published by The Wisemen Council. This book was released on 2024-05-23 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION The philosophy of Lean Intention serves as a basis for informal management, particularly in the decision-making process of what constitutes the Ka of a company, i.e., the whole integrating the dynamics of the vital forces of the members associated with the project or initiative being pursued. This is not a classic management book, still less a canonical one, in that it incorporates notions of spirituality based on the Ka Method and ECO Animism, which value so-called ethnocultural psychic phenomena in socio-economic quests: "Economy through Animism and Spirituality". The aim here is to summarize, for academic purposes, the work on ethnic entrepreneurship undertaken by Consultant Manager and Author Arnaud Segla as part of his professional and business activities in economic and international development, between Canada and Africa. Some excerpts have already been published, but are presented in a different context. Each term has its place and use. Composing a manual to support an academic training course requires specifying from the outset the key terms around which the entire academic content is deployed. Entrepreneurs are strategists who define and pursue one or more objectives through a project for development (exchanges for growth) or communion (sharing through finance) in various fields such as business, politics, religion, military force, culture, etc. The self-employed or liberal professions are economic players who monetize a technical, administrative, manual or intellectual skill according to fees indexed to scales of competence and specialization. Traders, whether in the formal liberal or informal economy, operate by buying and reselling products and services in order to make a profit according to the price trend of a local or international market on which they are positioned. Business people are individuals who identify market needs and provide solutions through innovation, invention, acquisition or adaptation of various resources, with the aim of meeting or exceeding the expectations of their target clientele. In today's world, these individuals have been wrongly and abusively assimilated to the term "entrepreneur", because of the new economic and social stakes involved in the classification or rivalry of the power of civilizations, also known as the world order. All these 4 profiles are, by default, project promoters, with varying degrees of strength or motivation in their initiation, modeling, animation, profitability and productivity. The power of civilizations has already had to be measured by divine knowledge, land holdings, military strength, the extent of trade, scientific knowledge and political power. Now we're entering an era of socio-economic power and bio-ecological preservation... In today's world, competition in a cross-cultural context can take on several dimensions: the social, ethnic, informal and digital economies. Informal industry is often considered the fourth or fifth economic sector (depending on whether information technology is considered before it), after agriculture and mining (primary sector), manufacturing (secondary sector) and services (tertiary sector). The debate is between the place of technology and informality. Thus, the 4 dimensions of an innovative and successful ethnic enterprise born of an adaptation or even improvement of the informal model implies the mastery and recurrent and repeated success of deals from business idea to market launch. This self-coaching or reference book for consultants involved in ethnic economic and community development projects provides practical advice and insights using the (ethnic) project strategy life cycle: Believe, Federate, Prosper, Share.
Download or read book Indigenous Knowledge and Education in Africa written by Chika Ezeanya-Esiobu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents a strong philosophical, theoretical and practical argument for the mainstreaming of indigenous knowledge in curricula development, and in teaching and learning across the African continent. Since the dawn of political independence in Africa, there has been an ongoing search for the kind of education that will create a class of principled and innovative citizens who are sensitive to and committed to the needs of the continent. When indigenous or environment-generated knowledge forms the basis of learning in classrooms, learners are able to immediately connect their education with their lived reality. The result is much introspection, creativity and innovation across fields, sectors and disciplines, leading to societal transformation. Drawing on several theoretical assertions, examples from a wide range of disciplines, and experiences gathered from different continents at different points in history, the book establishes that for education to trigger the necessary transformation in Africa, it should be constructed on a strong foundation of learners’ indigenous knowledge. The book presents a distinct and uncharted pathway for Africa to advance sustainably through home-grown and grassroots based ideas, leading to advances in science and technology, growth of indigenous African business and the transformation of Africans into conscious and active participants in the continent’s progress. Indigenous Knowledge and Education in Africa is of interest to educators, entrepreneurs, policymakers, researchers and individuals engaged in finding sustainable and strategic solutions to regional and global advancement.

Download or read book Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.
Download or read book The Informal Economy Revisited written by Martha Chen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark volume brings together leading scholars in the field to investigate recent conceptual shifts, research findings and policy debates on the informal economy as well as future challenges and directions for research and policy. Well over half of the global workforce and the vast majority of the workforce in developing countries work in the informal economy, and in countries around the world new forms of informal employment are emerging. Yet the informal workforce is not well understood, remains undervalued and is widely stigmatised. Contributors to the volume bridge a range of disciplinary perspectives including anthropology, development economics, law, political science, social policy, sociology, statistics, urban planning and design. The Informal Economy Revisited also focuses on specific groups of informal workers, including home-based workers, street vendors and waste pickers, to provide a grounded insight into disciplinary debates. Ultimately, the book calls for a paradigm shift in how the informal economy is perceived to reflect the realities of informal work in the Global South, as well as the informal practices of the state and capital, not just labour. The Informal Economy Revisited is the culmination of 20 years of pioneering work by WIEGO (Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing), a global network of researchers, development practitioners and organisations of informal workers in 90 countries. Researchers, practitioners, policy-makers and advocates will all find this book an invaluable guide to the significance and complexities of the informal economy, and its role in today’s globalised economy.

Download or read book Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture written by Henry Jenkins and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-06-05 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many teens today who use the Internet are actively involved in participatory cultures—joining online communities (Facebook, message boards, game clans), producing creative work in new forms (digital sampling, modding, fan videomaking, fan fiction), working in teams to complete tasks and develop new knowledge (as in Wikipedia), and shaping the flow of media (as in blogging or podcasting). A growing body of scholarship suggests potential benefits of these activities, including opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, development of skills useful in the modern workplace, and a more empowered conception of citizenship. Some argue that young people pick up these key skills and competencies on their own by interacting with popular culture; but the problems of unequal access, lack of media transparency, and the breakdown of traditional forms of socialization and professional training suggest a role for policy and pedagogical intervention. This report aims to shift the conversation about the "digital divide" from questions about access to technology to questions about access to opportunities for involvement in participatory culture and how to provide all young people with the chance to develop the cultural competencies and social skills needed. Fostering these skills, the authors argue, requires a systemic approach to media education; schools, afterschool programs, and parents all have distinctive roles to play. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Reports on Digital Media and Learning
