Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PARTIR D'UNE ETUDE DE TERRAIN, MENEE DANS QUATRE VILLAGES DE LA REGION DE LA KARA, AU TOGO, CE TRAVAIL ESSAIE D'Y INTERPRETER LA DYNAMIQUE COOPERATIVE ET SON IMPACT SOCIAL ET DE LES COMPARER AVEC CEUX OBSERVES PAR D'AUTRES ETUDES DANS DES REGIONS DU TOGO ET DE L'AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST ; ET CECI, DANS UNE PERSPECTIVE HISTORIQUE. AU TOGO (COMME DANS LA PLUPART DES ETATS AFRICAINS), LE CONTEXTE DES REFORMES ECONOMIQUES ET POLITIQUES DES ANNEES 1980 ET 1990, A ETE L'OCCASION POUR LES ANCIENNES PUISSANCES COLONISATRICES D'INVENTER LA PARTICIPATION COMME MODE D'ASSOCIATION DE TOUTES LES COMPOSANTES SOCIALES (“ SOCIETE CIVILE ”) A CES REFORMES, ET SUR UNE LONGUE DUREE. DANS LE MILIEU RURAL, IL EST QUESTION D'UNE PARTICIPATION AU DEVELOPPEMENT LOCAL ET ELLE PASSE PAR LA REINVENTION ET L'INTENSIFICATION DU MOUVEMENT COOPERATIF ; MOYEN EFFICACE D'AMELIORER LES CONDITIONS DE VIE DES PAYSANS. DANS CETTE PERPECTIVE, LE PROJET "PROMOTION COOPERATIVE" A ETE IMPLANTE DANS TOUTES LES REGIONS DU TOGO AU DEBUT DES ANNEES 1980. D'UNE PART, IL MOBILISE DES AVANTAGES POUR LES PAYSANS MAIS LEUR IMPOSE AUSSI DES CONTRAINTES. SON ANCRAGE DANS LES STRUCTURES SOCIALES PROVOQUE DES REACTIONS DIVERSES DANS LES DIFFERENTS GROUPES PAYSANS (COOPERATEURS ET NON-COOPERATEURS) AUTOUR DE CES AVANTAGES ET CONTRAINTES ; TELS QUE LA LEGITIMATION ET LA CRITIQUE DU MODELE COOPERATIF ET DE SES PROMOTEURS, LES CONFRONTATIONS AVEC LES INTERVENANTS, LES STRATEGIES D'INTERETS, LES RELATIONS DE POUVOIR, UNE DIVERSITE ET DES RYTHMES D'APPRENTISSAGE COOPERATIF. D'AUTRE PART, LES REACTIONS PAYSANNES ET LEUR APPRENTISSAGE DUMODELE COOPERATIF REPRODUISENT LES CULTURES AGRICOLES LOCALES, LES CULTURES ASSOCIATIVES LOCALES, LES ARENES POLITIQUES ET SOCIALES LOCALES, LES HIERARCHIES ET INEGALITES SOCIALES, LES MECANISMES DE REGULATION SOCIALE. LA CAPACITE DES PAYSANS DE TRANSFORMER EN PERMANENCE LA POLITIQUE ET LA TECHNOLOGIE COOPERATIVE, LES ARENES LOCALES, SONT DES INDICATEURS D'UN CHANGEMENT SOCIAL. DANS LA MESURE OU LE FAIT COOPERATIF EST HISTORIQUE ET GENERALISE AUX PAYS AFRICAINS, UNE ANALYSE COMPARATIVE DE NOTRE CAS D'ETUDE AVEC D'AUTRES AU TOGO ET EN AFRIQUE S'AVERE INTERESSANTE PARCE QU'ELLE OFFRE UNE INTERPRETATION ANTHROPOLOGIQUE PLUS LARGE DE CE FAIT. PAR EXEMPLE, LE MOUVEMENT COOPERATIF EST PLUS DYNAMIQUE LA OU LA “ SOCIETE CIVILE ” (SENEGAL, BURKINA FASO) ET LES CULTURES DE RENTE SONT LE PLUS DEVELOP

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Du site de l'éditeur: The study explores public health and education provision in Niamey, the capital of Niger, by merging the ethnographic study of public services with an anthropological analysis of the state and of local politics. Based on anthropological fieldwork carried out in a group of neighbourhoods in the periphery of Niamey, the study highlights the political dimensions of public service provision in a local arena where international development interventions and national plans meet local realities and where a wide range of actors and institutions, discourses, meanings, and practices are mobilized in the offering of and the regulation of access to public services. It focuses on the political, economic, and socio-cultural aspects of public service provision, too often hidden behind contemporary buzzwords of development such as community participation and decentralization that dominate global debates about education and healthcare in developing countries. The study brings forth the strategies of urban residents in dealing with daily challenges in the consolidation of service provision and in education and health-seeking trajectories. It shows that access to a satisfactory treatment of illness or a successful school career is premised on the ability to navigate on the medical and education markets, which are made up of a plurality of providers and of official and unofficial costs and transactions. Further, these public services engage different actors such as community committees, traditional chiefs, local associations, the municipality and elected municipal councillors, emergent leaders, NGOs, and international development aid. The study demonstrates that despite the uncertainty of state support in health and education provision and a widespread dissatisfaction with these public services, the image of the state as service provider is reproduced on a day by day basis through local efforts at securing public services.

Download or read book Agroclimatology written by Jerry L. Hatfield and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we unlock resilience to climate stress by better understanding linkages between the environment and biological systems? Agroclimatology allows us to explore how different processes determine plant response to climate and how climate drives the distribution of crops and their productivity. Editors Jerry L. Hatfield, Mannava V.K. Sivakumar, and John H. Prueger have taken a comprehensive view of agroclimatology to assist and challenge researchers in this important area of study. Major themes include: principles of energy exchange and climatology, understanding climate change and agriculture, linkages of specific biological systems to climatology, the context of pests and diseases, methods of agroclimatology, and the application of agroclimatic principles to problem-solving in agriculture.

Download or read book Multi party Elections in Africa written by Michael Cowen and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains electoral studies of multiparty politics in 14 African countries during the 1990s. Most are about national elections in Anglophone Africa. There are also less well-known examples from Sudan, Ethiopia and Guinea Bissau. The collection also features studies of the local elections in Namibia and of a significant by-election in Malawi. The multiparty period had been put, wherever possible, within the historical context of earlier elections in Africa. Questions addressed include: how did incumbent governing regimes learn to live with multiparty politics? Why have some elections been so closely fought and others have suffered from apathy? Why has there been relatively open political expression and activity when the elections have increased the political and economic manipulation by incumbent governments? Why have the elections of the 1990s been so marked by local and ethnic variations? To what extent did this wave of democracy result from pressure from donor countries?

Download or read book Using Training to Build Capacity written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008-03-20 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Bank finances about US$720 million in training every year, through both its lending projects and its in-house World Bank Institute (WBI). The evaluation found that while most of the training reviewed resulted in demonstrable participant learning, this learning frequently did not lead to real change in participants' workplace performance. Poor training outcomes most often resulted from training content that wasn't relevant to the needs and goals of the target institutions, or from the trainees' lack of incentives or resources to apply learning in their workplaces. These findings highlight how important it is for training to be embedded in broader capacity-building programs that identify and address organizational and institutional capacity constraints alongside human ones.

This book was released on 2012-05-30 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farming Systems Research has three core characteristics: it builds on systems thinking, it depends on the close collaboration between social and biophysical sciences, and it relies on participation to build co-learning processes. Farming Systems Research posits that to contribute towards sustainable rural development, both interdisciplinary collaborations and local actor engagement are needed. Together, they allow for changes in understanding and changes in practices. This book gives an overview of the insights generated in 20 years of Farming Systems Research. It retraces the emergence and development of Farming Systems Research in Europe, summarises the state-of-the-art for key areas, and provides an outlook on new explorations, especially those tackling the dynamic nature of farming systems and their interaction with the natural environment and the context of action.

Download or read book City Making and Urban Governance in the Americas written by ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF URBAN PLANNING CLARA. IRAZABAL and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities in both North and South America are confronting tremendous challenges in urban growth and management as they enter the new century. Curitiba in Brazil and Portland in Oregon, US are cities that have achieved recognition for exemplary urban planning programmes over the past three decades. As such, they provide particularly useful illustrations of the intense development pressures that many urban areas currently face. This book explores the dynamics of their urban governance, arguing that, in general, there has been a unique synergy derived from the combination of visionary leadership, innovative urban plans and effective citizen involvement. The book argues that, while urban design and architecture are key to the success in making cities livable and in augmenting the global reputations, such sensitive, innovative urban planning and design projects first need to be governed effectively and grounded within the specifics of their local cultures and existing built environments.
