This book was released on 1997 with total page 836 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'EVALUATION DES PROJETS DE DEVELOPPEMENT EST AUJOURD'HUI UN EXERCICE DE ROUTINE, DONT LA GRANDE DIFFUSION A ETE ACCOMPAGNEE PAR UNE IMPORTANTE EVOLUTION DES METHODES EVALUATIVES. PARALLELEMENT, ON CONSTATE QUE LES PROJETS DE DEVELOPPEMENT SONT DE MOINS EN MOINS SECTORIELS MAIS ADOPTENT DE PLUS EN PLUS DES APPROCHES ENGLOBANTES, DITES "INTEGREES", VISANT TOUS LES ASPECTS DU DEVELOPPEMENT D'UNE REGION. LA PROBLEMATIQUE DE LA PRESENTE THESE RESIDE DANS L'ADEQUATION ENTRE CES METHODES D'EVALUATION ET LES REALITES DES PROJETS DE DEVELOPPEMENT DANS LES PED. LE CADRE D'ANALYSE EST LIMITE D'UNE PART, AUX EVALUATIONS EX-TEMPORE OU EX-POST ET, D'AUTRE PART, AUX PROJETS DE DEVELOPPEMENT RURAL INTEGRE. L'ANALYSE DES ENJEUX DE L'APPLICATION DES METHODES EVALUATIVES AUX PROJETS DE DEVELOPPEMENT RURAL INTEGRE SE FAIT A DEUX NIVEAUX : LE NIVEAU DE LA CONCEPTION DE L'EVALUATION ET LE NIVEAU DE SA MISE EN OEUVRE. AU PREMIER NIVEAU, LES PROBLEMES RENCONTRES SONT SURTOUT LIES A LA NATURE INTEGREE DES PROJETS, TANDIS QU'AU DEUXIEME, LES DIFFICULTES PROVIENNENT AVANT TOUT DE LA SPECIFICITE DU MILIEU RURAL (POIDS DES FACTEURS CULTURELS, FORTE DEPENDANCE DE CONDITIONS NON-MAITRISABLES, TELLES QUE LES ALEAS CLIMATIQUES). LES DIFFERENTS POINTS EVOQUES DANS CETTE THESE SONT ILLUSTRES A L'AIDE D'UN CAS PRECIS, UN PROJET DE DEVELOPPEMENT RURAL INTEGRE EMANANT DE L'AIDE MULTILATERALE, SITUE A MADAGASCAR. LES ENSEIGNEMENTS TIRES ENTRE AUTRES A PARTIR DE CET EXEMPLE SONT TOUTEFOIS D'ORDRE RELATIVEMENT GENERAL ET ILS SONT, EN GRANDE PARTIE, VALABLES POUR D'AUTRES PAYS DE L'ASS. AU COEUR DE CETTE ANALYSE RESIDE DONC LA DIFFICILE PEREQUATION ENTRE CE QUI EST THEORIQUEMENT SOUHAITABLE ET CE QUI EST PRATIQUEMENT FAISABLE. SANS PRETENDRE TROUVER UNE ISSUE A CETTE PROBLEMATIQUE, NOUS PROPOSONS DES POSSIBILITES PROMETTEUSES D'APPROCHES ADAPTEES ET D'ASSOCIATIONS D'OUTILS, TOUT EN SOULIGNANT LES DANGERS ET LES LIMITES DE L'APPLICATION DES METHODES D'EVALUATION AUX PROJETS DE DEVELOPPEMENT RURAL INTEGRE.

Book Edible Insects

Download or read book Edible Insects written by Arnold van Huis and published by Bright Sparks. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edible insects have always been a part of human diets, but in some societies there remains a degree of disdain and disgust for their consumption. Although the majority of consumed insects are gathered in forest habitats, mass-rearing systems are being developed in many countries. Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science to improve human food security worldwide. This publication describes the contribution of insects to food security and examines future prospects for raising insects at a commercial scale to improve food and feed production, diversify diets, and support livelihoods in both developing and developed countries. It shows the many traditional and potential new uses of insects for direct human consumption and the opportunities for and constraints to farming them for food and feed. It examines the body of research on issues such as insect nutrition and food safety, the use of insects as animal feed, and the processing and preservation of insects and their products. It highlights the need to develop a regulatory framework to govern the use of insects for food security. And it presents case studies and examples from around the world. Edible insects are a promising alternative to the conventional production of meat, either for direct human consumption or for indirect use as feedstock. To fully realise this potential, much work needs to be done by a wide range of stakeholders. This publication will boost awareness of the many valuable roles that insects play in sustaining nature and human life, and it will stimulate debate on the expansion of the use of insects as food and feed.

Book Governing Africa s Forests in a Globalized World

Download or read book Governing Africa s Forests in a Globalized World written by Laura Anne German and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many countries around the world are engaged in decentralization processes, and most African countries face serious problems with forest governance, from benefits sharing to illegality and sustainable forest management. This book summarizes experiences to date on the extent and nature of decentralization and its outcomes - most of which suggest an underperformance of governance reforms - and explores the viability of different governance instruments in the context of weak governance and expanding commercial pressures over forests. Findings are grouped into two thematic areas: decentralization, livelihoods and sustainable forest management; and international trade, finance and forest sector governance reforms. The authors examine diverse forces shaping the forest sector, including the theory and practice of decentralization, usurpation of authority, corruption and illegality, inequitable patterns of benefits capture and expansion of international trade in timber and carbon credits, and discuss related outcomes on livelihoods, forest condition and equity. The book builds on earlier volumes exploring different dimensions of decentralization and perspectives from other world regions, and distills dimensions of forest governance that are both unique to Africa and representative of broader global patterns. The authors ground their analysis in relevant theory while drawing out implications of their findings for policy and practice.

Book excerpt: 'At last a really useful book telling us how all the rhetoric about ecosystem approaches and sustainable forest management is being translated into practical solutions on the ground? CLAUDE MARTIN, WWF INTERNATIONAL For too long, foresters have seen forests as logs waiting to be turned into something useful. This book demonstrates that forests in fact have multiple values, and managing them as ecosystems will bring more benefits to a greater cross-section of the public? JEFFREY A. MCNEELY, CHIEF SCIENTIST, IUCN This book demonstrates that ecosystem approaches and sustainable forest management] are neither alternative methods of forest management nor are they simply complicated ways of saying the same thing. They are both emerging concepts for more integrated and holistic ways of managing forests within larger landscapes in ways that optimize benefits to all stakeholders? ACHIM STEINER AND IAN JOHNSON, FROM THE FOREWORD Recent innovations in Sustainable Forest Management and Ecosystem Approaches are resulting in forests increasingly being managed as part of the broader social-ecological systems in which they exist. Forests in Landscapes reviews changes that have occurred in forest management in recent decades. Case studies from Europe, Canada, the United States, Russia, Australia, the Congo and Central America provide a wealth of international examples of innovative practices. Cross-cutting chapters examine the political ecology and economics of forest management, and review the information needs and the use and misuse of criteria and indicators to achieve broad societal goals for forests. A concluding chapter draws out the key lessons of changes in forest management in recent decades and sets out some thoughts for the future. This book is a must-read for practitioners, researchers and policy makers concerned with forests and land use. It contains lessons for all those concerned with forests as sources of people's livelihoods and as part of rural landscapes. Published with IUCN and PROFOR

Book The Treaty on European Union  TEU

  • Author : Hermann-Josef Blanke
  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2013-11-26
  • ISBN : 3642317065
  • Pages : 1821 pages

Download or read book The Treaty on European Union TEU written by Hermann-Josef Blanke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 1821 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major Commentary on the Treaty on European Union (TEU) is a European project that aims to contribute to the development of ever closer conceptual and dogmatic standpoints with regard to the creation of a “Europeanised research on Union law”. This publication in English contains detailed explanations, article by article, on all the provisions of the TEU as well as on several Protocols and Declarations, including the Protocols No 1, 2 and 30 and Declaration No 17, having steady regard to the application of Union law in the national legal orders and its interpretation by the Court of Justice of the EU. The authors of the Commentary are academics from ten European states and different legal fields, some from a constitutional law background, others experts in the field of international law and EU law professionals. This should lead to more unity in European law notwithstanding all the legitimate diversity. The different traditions of constitutional law are reflected and mentioned by name thus striving for a common framework for European constitutional law.

Book Tropical Agroforestry

Download or read book Tropical Agroforestry written by Alain Atangana and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agroforestry is recognized as a sustainable land-use management in the tropics, as it provides environmental-friendly ecosystems; it also provides people with their every day need for food and cash. Since the recognition of agroforestry as a science, curricula have been developed for agroforestry programs for undergraduate and graduate trainings in Universities. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop and make available educational material. This textbook strives to provide up-to-date information on tropical agroforestry to serve as educational material in the tropical context. The authoritative textbook of Nair (1993) on agroforestry was published 18 years ago, and before the advent of tree domestication, an important agroforestry practice today. In addition, many other research activities, such as carbon sequestration and integrated pest management, have been included in the agroforestry agenda. This textbook is intended for agroforestry students, teachers, and practitioners.
