Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Collection Of Essays Seeks To Explore Common Lessons From Political Sociology And Development Studies And In This Process Tries To Resolve The Tension Between The Author S Academic And Practitioner Worldviews. The Author Has Tried To Highlight One Principal Concern In This Volume That Development Is More Often Than Not A Multicultural Construct Of Everyday Politics That Is Context-Bound And Predicated By Statements Of Informed Choices On The Part Of The Stakeholders And/Or Beneficiaries Involved. So Development Is More About Who Gets What, When, How, Where And Why In Terms Of An Authoritative Allocation Of Values That Is Underpinned By Definitions Of Stakeholders Or Beneficiaries Or Affected Persons. Such Definitions Are Power Statements That Are Scripted By Agencies That Generally Tend To View Development As An Unevenness That May Be Restructured In Terms Of Human And Physical Engineering As A Level Playing Ground Where Players Are Equipped With Uniform Access To Resources And Similar Opportunities. This Is, However, A Contentious Issue Without Any Simple Answers. Such An Interventionist Approach May Not Always Be Sponsored By The Mode Of Production Or The Marketplace Of Politics That By Definition Thrives On Discrepancies And Discriminations Among Unequally Affected Persons. The Present Work Will Be Of Interest To Political Sociologists, Economic And Social Historians, Development Consultants, Non-Profit Professionals, Social Workers, Grassroots Activists, Urban Planners, Academics As Well As Researchers Working In The Development Sector.

Download or read book Community Nutrition for Developing Countries written by Norman J. Temple and published by Athabasca University Press and UNISA Press. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutrition textbooks used by universities and colleges in developing countries have very often been written by scholars who live and work in North America or the United Kingdom. And while the research and information they present is sound, the nutrition-related health challenges with which developing countries must grapple differ considerably from those found in highly industrialized Western nations. The primary aim of Community Nutrition for Developing Countries is to provide a book that meets the needs of nutritionists and other health professionals living and working in developing countries. Written by both scholars and practitioners, the volume draws on their wealth of knowledge, experience, and understanding of nutrition in developing countries to provide nutrition professionals with all the information they require. Each chapter addresses a specific nutrition challenge currently faced by developing countries such as food security, food safety, disease prevention, maternal health, and effective nutrition policy. In addition, the volume serves as an invaluable resource for those developing and implementing nutrition education programmes. With an emphasis on nutritional education as a means to prevent disease and effectively manage health disorders, it is the hope of the nearly three dozen contributors to this work that it will enhance the health and well-being of low-income populations throughout the world.

Book excerpt: Sanitation research focuses primarily on containing human waste and preventing disease; thus, it has traditionally been dominated by the fields of environmental engineering and public health. Over the past 20 years, however, the field has grown broader in scope and deeper in complexity, spanning diverse disciplinary perspectives. In this article, we review the current literature in the range of disciplines engaged with sanitation research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We find that perspectives on what sanitation is, and what sanitation policy should prioritize, vary widely. We show how these diverse perspectives augment the conventional sanitation service chain, a framework describing the flow of waste from capture to disposal. We review how these perspectives can inform progress toward equitable sanitation for all [i.e., Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6]. Our key message is that both material and nonmaterial flows--and both technological and social functions--make up a sanitation “system.” The components of the sanitation service chain are embedded within the flows of finance, decision making, and labor that make material flows of waste possible. The functions of capture, storage, transport, treatment, reuse, and disposal are interlinked with those of ensuring equity and affordability. We find that a multilayered understanding of sanitation, with contributions from multiple disciplines, is necessary to facilitate inclusive and robust research toward the goal of sanitation for all.

Download or read book Management of Faecal Sludge in the Urban Areas of Low income Countries written by Andrews Nkansah and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective management of the excreta or faecal sludge (FS) emptying, transport and disposal mechanisms from the on-plot latrines in urban areas of many low-income countries is critical for the sustainability of urban sanitation. However the literature mentions the lack of an effective management system for urban FS emptying, transport and disposal in the low-income countries. The current management of FS has been fragmented and improper with attendant poor health and environmental pollution problems. In particular, no substantive information was found relating to how far the excreta or sludge removed from the latrines is transported to the disposal points. Also information on household financial needs and their perceptions regarding emptying and transport services was lacking. No study had been done regarding the effects of disposal distance and accessibility on the cost of emptying and transport; neither has work been done on FS reuse implications for emptying, transport and disposal mechanisms. Based on these issues, the research questions and hypothesis were formulated to guide the study. Qualitative and quantitative research techniques were used to triangulate and ensure the reliability and validity of the findings and analysis. From the analysis of the findings, the thesis concludes on these key issues: i) Emptying, transport and disposal mechanisms of the excreta and FS as well as the costs of these depend on the type of latrines, latrine use and the technology available for emptying and transport. ii) Owing to the nature of latrines and the emptying methods used the disposal of the FS was indiscriminate and much was found closer to its source of generation. iii) FS was in high demand for reuse but lacked appropriate marketing strategy that could match supply with the demand. iv) The Household Centred Environmental Sanitation (HCES) approach was found to be limited in content and capacity to effectively address the urban excreta and FS emptying, transport and disposal without the active and full involvement of the municipal and local authorities with clear roles and regulations that address the key processes, linkages, and capacity development issues. Thus, the HCES approach needs periodic review and modifications to take care of the new developments and peculiarities of each urban setting. The study also recommends the need to look at streamlining technologies and developing capacity to address cross-cutting issues in urban sanitation. It further recommends the need for households, the sanitation authorities and practitioners to understand the links between latrine technology in terms of type, size, use and location vis-?-vis the required emptying, transport and disposal mechanisms in the urban areas of the low-income countries.
