This book was released on 2012-10-18 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ordinary people, community leaders, and even organizations and corporations still do not fully comprehend the interconnected, “big picture” dynamics of sustainability theory and action. In exploring means to become more sustainable, individuals and groups need a reference in which to frame discussions so they will be relevant, educational, and successful when implemented. This book puts ideas on sustainable communities into a conceptual framework that will promote striking, transformational effects on decision-making. In this book practitioners and community leaders will find effective, comprehensive tools and resources at their finger-tips to facilitate sustainable community development (SCD). The book content examines a diverse range of SCD methods; assessing community needs and resources; creating community visions; promoting stakeholder interest and participation; analyzing community problems; designing and facilitating strategic planning; carrying out interventions to improve
Download or read book Sustainable Rural Development written by Mary Emery and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together several systems-level approaches to the consideration of the interaction of livelihood choices, natural resource management and participatory action research on sustainable development. By focusing on these approaches to community change, the volume hopes to encourage readers to consider how they might adopt methods such as Sustainable Livelihoods Approach (SLA), Community Capitals Framework (CCF) and Participatory Action Research (PAR) in their own research, practice and teaching. Thus, this volume will engage readers in reflection about the importance of systems-level approaches that address poverty from the perspective of the poor, natural resource management that maintains the resource for future generations, and the engagement of local people in designing and implementing, and thus owning, strategies that address equity as well as economic security and the environment. This book was originally published as a special issue of Community Development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2018 in the subject Nature Protection, Landscape Conservation, University of Buea (Geography), language: English, abstract: This report presents the outcome of a ten-day mission carried out in 2009 with the goal to prepare a development plan for Ediki-Bekoli Village. The researchers conducted an ethnographic-type research with the aim being to guide and facilitate a community-led development planning process for the village from which this Village Development Plan (VDP) was born. Upon arrival in the village, the researchers were hosted by the village chief who convened a meeting with his councilors to discuss the purpose of the expedition, and from there, work kicked off. This VDP document was therefore prepared based on the approach to development planning which focuses on the principles of promoting sustainable livelihoods and self-reliant bottom-up development. A manual including different participatory learning tools and methods prepared by the capacity building component of Rumpi Project was used throughout the step by step planning process as well as improvisations adapted from other community development experiences around the world. The specific objective is to assist the community better their livelihoods and find solutions that will increase the income of the small-holders within the village thereby contributing to poverty alleviation. Following the initial participatory village assessment (PRA) stage, conducted with the entire community, the following problems were uncovered and prioritized. These problems include low agricultural productivity, lack of formal/informal technical training, poor road infrastructure, exposed water sources/ lack of potable water which engenders all kinds of health issues, and youth unemployment. Based on the above problems the following goals were formulated, followed by the elaboration of micro-projects based on these goals: to improve agricultural productivity; improve community health and well-being; to improve communication and rural infrastructure; to enhance rural capacity through the development of technical skills; institute community financing mechanisms These micro-projects, if implemented, will meet some of the developmental needs and aspirations of Ediki-Bekoli as perceived by the community itself, leading to the alleviation of poverty.

This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 3.0, University of Lusaka, language: English, abstract: The following work examines the effects of community participation as a determinant of project sustainability using the example of Zambia. Sustainability forms the basis for any developmental activity, without it all the efforts engaged in the project become a share waste of time and resources. It is a mystical theory to believe that affected communities are shocked and helpless to take responsibilities for their own survival and that their only hope is dependent upon external support. On the contrary, communities do have power and strength to manage and sustain their own challenges in any given case as long as they are involved in such a move that is aimed at curbing the community problems. That said community participatory approach is the most important slant towards enabling communities to help themselves and sustain efforts made by multiple developmental agencies. This study was aimed at investigating Community participation and its attributes as a determinant of project sustainability beyond donor support. The study was triggered by the eminent failure rates of many projects implemented in that collapse immediately the donor pulls out their support. The researcher applied and elucidated on different philosophical standpoints within this thesis in terms of ontology, epistemology and axiology were objectivism and positivism underpinnings were established. The researcher then used explanatory study design on the DFID Community Led Total Sanitation supported project in 29 districts of Zambia. Stratified and random sampling techniques were used to select a sample of 128 respondents. Furthermore, the researcher used questionnaires to collect data and it was analyzed quantitatively using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software and results were summarized and presented using table and charts. The findings of the study showed that an increase in community participation has a greater impact on the increased project sustainability beyond donor support. Hence Community participation is critical determinant of project sustainability beyond donor support. It is imperative to take cognizant of the fact that communities today should no longer be seen as recipients of development programmes; rather, they have become critical stakeholders that have an important role to play in the management of programmes and projects in their areas.
