Why do certain parts of the state in Africa work so effectively despite operating in difficult governance contexts? How do 'pockets of bureaucratic effectiveness' emerge and become sustained over time? And what does this tell us about the prospects for state-building and development in Africa? Repeated economic and social crises have demanded that development thinkers and policy actors have had to engage with the critical role that states play in delivering development. Pockets of Effectiveness and the Politics of State-building and Development in Africa shows that politics is the driving factor that shapes how well state agencies perform their roles. It deploys a new conceptual framework DS the power domains approach DS to explore the shifting fortunes of key state agencies in five countries DS Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia DS over the past three decades. Our original research reveals when, how and why political rulers decide to build effective state agencies and enable them to deliver certain forms of economic development DS often through forming strategic coalitions with senior bureaucrats and with international support DS and also when this support falters and gives way to a politics of survival. Comparative analysis identifies two potential trajectories towards state-building in Africa, each shaped by different configurations of social and political power. The book critiques the role that international development agencies have played in (mis)shaping the state in Africa and suggests a new strategic agenda for building the state capacities required to deliver sustained development at the current juncture. The book closes with critical commentaries from two leading scholars in the field, to help place our work in context and establish the next steps for research and strategy in this increasingly important area of development theory and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's demand for food is expected to double within the next 50 years, while the natural resources that sustain agriculture will become increasingly scarce, degraded, and vulnerable to the effects of climate change. In many poor countries, agriculture accounts for at least 40 percent of GDP and 80 percent of employment. At the same time, about 70 percent of the world's poor live in rural areas and most depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. 'World Development Report 2008' seeks to assess where, when, and how agriculture can be an effective instrument for economic development, especially development that favors the poor. It examines several broad questions: How has agriculture changed in developing countries in the past 20 years? What are the important new challenges and opportunities for agriculture? Which new sources of agricultural growth can be captured cost effectively in particular in poor countries with large agricultural sectors as in Africa? How can agricultural growth be made more effective for poverty reduction? How can governments facilitate the transition of large populations out of agriculture, without simply transferring the burden of rural poverty to urban areas? How can the natural resource endowment for agriculture be protected? How can agriculture's negative environmental effects be contained? This year's report marks the 30th year the World Bank has been publishing the 'World Development Report'.
Download or read book Universit s universitaires en Afrique de l Est written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2012 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A l'image de l'université de Makerere qui a accueilli il y a quelques années les auteurs de cet ouvrage, rassemblés pour faire le point sur la situation de la recherche dans leurs pays respectifs, les universités d'Afrique de l'Est et de la région des Grands Lacs ont surmonté les destructions de toutes sortes qui ont frappé la région durant les années 1990. Après une décennie de crises politiques, sociales et économiques, le tournant du XXIe siècle voit se développer une sorte de renaissance. Du Burundi au Kenya, de l'Ouganda au Rwanda, de la République démocratique du Congo à la Tanzanie, les universitaires et chercheurs regroupés ici témoignent, dans leurs monographies, des réflexions qui traversent leur collectivité scientifique, qu'il s'agisse des universités de Dar es-Salaam ou de Lubumbashi, de celle de Ngozi dans le nord du Burundi ou du Pole Institute au Nord-Kivu. Ce livre fait écho à des débats tant scientifiques que politiques, institutionnels ou sociaux. Ils portent sur les enjeux des différentes disciplines des sciences humaines (histoire, géographie, linguistique, science politique), en particulier dans leur confrontation avec les obsessions identitaires nourries par les conflits. Les institutions universitaires africaines se trouvent en outre confrontées au mouvement général de redéfinition qui touche aujourd'hui l'enseignement supérieur au niveau mondial. Enfin, le statut des enseignants-chercheurs doit aussi compter avec le développement de l'expertise, avec tous les défis de ces recherches appliquées. Un intellectuel du Kivu disait récemment : "J'ai toujours pensé que l'intellectuel, c'est celui qui doit créer le changement ". Une mission qui est rappelée ici avec clarté, tant les défis et les chantiers sont nombreux dans une région en reconstruction où les populations aspirent à plus de démocratie et à un mieux-être économique.
