Download or read book Foreign Aid for Indian NGOs written by Pushpa Sundar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores what difference development aid has made to the size, complexity, style of functioning, values and future direction of the NGO sector in India. It does this, first, by giving a comprehensive documentation of the experience of Indian NGOs with foreign aid since Independence. Simultaneously, it also analyses, in a broad historical perspective, some of the issues which are the subject of contemporary debate regarding the voluntary sector and aid, such as who decides ‘what’ is development and ‘how’ it should be brought about; whether foreign donors have hidden agendas, and if their aid amounts to cultural imperialism; and whether aid has made NGOs more self-reliant. The book also looks at the tripartite relationship between NGOs, donors, and governments, examining, for instance, whether the government is justified in imposing restrictions on receipt of funds by NGOs on the grounds that terrorist activities and religiously motivated communal strife are often financed with funds from abroad, with NGOs being used as fronts for both.

Download or read book Equitable Digital Medicine and Home Health Care written by Tambone Vittoradolfo and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital technologies shape the way in which individuals and health systems interact to promote health and treat illness. Their propensity to exacerbate inequalities is increasingly being highlighted as a concern for public health. Personal, contextual and technological factors all interact and determine uptake and consequent use of digital technologies for health. Digitalization and the introduction of telemedicine services have demonstrably improved equity in delivering health care services. Digital tech is making healthcare proactive as opposed to reactive, enlarging and enabling access to quality healthcare for communities that were traditionally underserved or marginalized and for home health care. In this scenario, there are still relevant ethical issues that need to be addressed in order to ensure an effective and efficient care in digital medicine. The Topic Editors are inviting papers on a range of research, practices, and educational topics regarding ethical issues particularly related to the experience of patients, front line healthcare professionals, and healthcare managers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superar la adversidad es la asignatura pendiente del siglo XXI. Todos a lo largo de nuestra vida nos enfrentaremos a situaciones traumáticas ¿Cómo afrontarlas en positivo? ¿Cómo desarrollar una respuesta resiliente? Las personas entrevistadas en este libro constituyen la mejor demostración de cómo se puede gestionar el naufragio. Todos ellos han pasado por difíciles tempestades que la vida les ha presentado pero ninguno ha naufragado. En unos casos han superado duros procesos de enfermedad y en otros afrontado la muerte de un ser querido o se han enfrentado a momentos críticos en los que o bien salían adelante o bien perdían todo lo que hasta ese momento habían conseguido. Se trata de Larry Bensadon, Anna Ferrer, Ángel García, Rosa García, Jesús Hernández, Helena Herrero, Jesús Higueras, Sandra Ibarra, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, Pilar Muro, Sara Navarro, Carlos Pauner, Teresa Silva y Enrique Varela. Resiliencia. Gestión del naufragio ofrece una guía para sobreponernos a las dificultades, aprender de nuestros errores, superar los obstáculos y salir fortalecidos de nuestras propias experiencias. El desarrollo de la resiliencia aporta una nueva mirada esperanzadora y positiva. Y es que, como dicen los cinco autores, «los tiempos que vivimos son para las personas resilientes. No son las políticas las que nos van a sacar de la situación actual, sino aquellos que sean capaces de estar por encima de la crisis. La causa es humana y no económica, y la solución también».

Download or read book The Trouble with Africa written by Robert Calderisi and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-12-23 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years of frustration at the stifling atmosphere of political correctness surrounding discussions of Africa, long time World Bank official Robert Calderisi speaks out. He boldly reveals how most of Africa's misfortunes are self-imposed, and why the world must now deal differently with the continent. Here we learn that Africa has steadily lost markets by its own mismanagement, that even capitalist countries are anti-business, that African family values and fatalism are more destructive than tribalism, and that African leaders prey intentionally on Western guilt. Calderisi exposes the shortcomings of foreign aid and debt relief, and proposes his own radical solutions. Drawing on thirty years of first hand experience, The Trouble with Africa highlights issues which have been ignored by Africa's leaders but have worried ordinary Africans, diplomats, academics, business leaders, aid workers, volunteers, and missionaries for a long time. It ripples with stories which only someone who has talked directly to African farmers--and heads of state--could recount. Calderisi's aim is to move beyond the hand-wringing and finger-pointing which dominates most discussions of Africa. Instead, he suggests concrete steps which Africans and the world can take to liberate talent and enterprise on the continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African agriculture is currently at a crossroads, at which persistent food shortages are compounded by threats from climate change. But, as this book argues, Africa can feed itself in a generation and can help contribute to global food security. To achieve this Africa has to define agriculture as a force in economic growth by advancing scientific and technological research, investing in infrastructure, fostering higher technical training, and creating regional markets.
Download or read book Target 3 Billion written by Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam and published by Penguin Books India. This book was released on 2011 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Half the world's population-3 billion people-are below the poverty line, and 70 per cent of the worldÆs poor live in rural areas. Target 3 Billion encapsulates Dr A.P.J. Abdul KalamÆs mission to eradicate poverty from the world. With 750 million people living in villages, India has the largest rural population in the world. Based on his Indian experience, Dr Kalam recommends a sustainable and inclusive development system called PURA-Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas-to uplift the rural poor not by subsidies but through entrepreneurship with community participation. To make his case, Dr Kalam cites the examples of individuals and institutions, in India and from across the world, who, with an entrepreneurial spirit and a burning desire to make a difference, have successfully generated and tapped into the potential of the rural masses. Fabio Luiz de Oliveria Rosa changed the face of the rural district of Palmares, Brazil, by acquiring for the farmers access to electricity and water, which effect, combined with better agricultural methods, led to an increase in prosperity and stemmed the migration to cities. The 123-strong Magar clan owned Magarpatta, a 430-acre plot on the outskirts of Pune, Maharashtra. In the 1990s, they organized and set up the Magarpatta city which is now home to over 35,000 residents and a working population of 65,000 and boasts of an IT park. Targets 3 Billion tells the story of the brilliantly envisaged global sustainable development system that is PURA, outlining Dr Kalam's vision for every individual and organization-a vision that can create 3 billion empowered, productive and healthy citizens, and generate 3 billion smiles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesuits established a large number of astronomical, geophysical and meteorological observatories during the 17th and 18th centuries and again during the 19th and 20th centuries throughout the world. The history of these observatories has never been published in a complete form. Many early European astronomical observatories were established in Jesuit colleges. During the 17th and 18th centuries Jesuits were the first western scientists to enter into contact with China and India. It was through them that western astronomy was first introduced in these countries. They made early astronomical observations in India and China and they directed for 150 years the Imperial Observatory of Beijing. In the 19th and 20th centuries a new set of observatories were established. Besides astronomy these now included meteorology and geophysics. Jesuits established some of the earliest observatories in Africa, South America and the Far East. Jesuit observatories constitute an often forgotten chapter of the history of these sciences.
