This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.

Download or read book The European Landscape Convention written by Michael Jones and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important and insightful book provides, for the first time, a broad presentation of ongoing research into public participation in landscape conservation, management and planning, following the 2000 European Landscape Convention which came into force in 2004. The book examines both the theory of participation and what lessons can be learnt from specific European examples. It explores in what manner and to what extent the provisions for participation in the European Landscape Convention have been followed up and implemented. It also presents and compares different experiences of participation in selected countries from northern, southern, eastern and western Europe, and provides a critical examination of public participation in practice. However, while the book’s focus is necessarily on Europe, many of the conclusions drawn are of global relevance. The book provides a valuable reference for researchers and advanced students in landscape policies and management, as well as for professionals and others interested in land-use planning and environmental management.

Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Download or read book Accounting for Culture written by Caroline Andrew and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2005-03-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in the cultural sector argue that Canadian cultural policy is at a crossroads: that the environment for cultural policy-making has evolved substantially and that traditional rationales for state intervention no longer apply. The concept of cultural citizenship is a relative newcomer to the cultural policy landscape, and offers a potentially compelling alternative rationale for government intervention in the cultural sector. Likewise, the articulation and use of cultural indicators and of governance concepts are also new arrivals, emerging as potentially powerful tools for policy and program development. Accounting for Culture is a unique collection of essays from leading Canadian and international scholars that critically examines cultural citizenship, cultural indicators, and governance in the context of evolving cultural practices and cultural policy-making. It will be of great interest to scholars of cultural policy, communications, cultural studies, and public administration alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic health planning, the cornerstone of initiatives designed to achieve health improvement goals around the world, requires an understanding of the comparative burden of diseases and injuries, their corresponding risk factors and the likely effects of invervention options. The Global Burden of Disease framework, originally published in 1990, has been widely adopted as the preferred method for health accounting and has become the standard to guide the setting of health research priorities. This publication sets out an updated assessment of the situation, with an analysis of trends observed since 1990 and a chapter on the sensitivity of GBD estimates to various sources of uncertainty in methods and data.

Download or read book Les politiques sociales written by Laurent Cytermann and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 2010 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les questions sociales sont au coeur du débat public. De la lutte contre le chômage à la rémunération des salariés en passant par le RSA, les déficits publics ou la crise du logement, rares sont les sujets d'actualité qui ne comportent pas une dimension sociale décisive. Pour éclairer le lecteur sur les enjeux actuels et sur les choix de société qu'ils impliquent, ce manuel de questions sociales traite, en treize leçons et neuf fiches techniques, des principales problématiques relatives au travail, à l'emploi et à la cohésion sociale. Rédigé par des spécialistes des questions sociales ayant une expérience reconnue de l'enseignement et de la préparation aux concours, il se présente sous la forme de dissertations et couvre l'ensemble du programme des concours administratifs sur les sujets concernés. Il est d'abord conçu pour les étudiants en administration publique, en instituts d'études politiques et pour tous les candidats aux concours administratifs (fonction publique et Sécurité sociale). Mais son langage simple, sa présentation pédagogique et les sujets qu'il traite le destinent tout autant à ceux qui souhaitent disposer des informations nécessaires pour s'informer sur les problèmes d'actualité et se forger une opinion éclairée sur des défauts souvent confus.

Download or read book L aide au conditionnel written by Pascale Dufour and published by P.I.E-Peter Lang S.A., Editions Scientifiques Internationales. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les politiques de soutien qui visent les sans-emploi sont de plus en plus souvent assorties de conditions que l'on regroupe sous le terme de contrepartie. Ces politiques dites «actives» font appel à la responsabilité des personnes et imposent des conditions plus ou moins contraignantes. Parallèlement, l'aide tend à devenir moins généreuse. Ce livre étudie la transformation de ces politiques dans six pays: le Canada, les États-Unis, le Royaume-Uni, la France, l'Allemagne et le Danemark. Cette étude comparative transversale fait ressortir les relations entre les sans-emploi et l'État, le marché du travail et l'environnement social. La contrepartie témoigne de la transformation de l'action sociale des États. La situation varie beaucoup d'un pays à l'autre, et ces différences sont révélatrices de tendances plus larges à l'oeuvre dans les politiques sociales. On trouve d'un côté des pays qui organisent le traitement des sans-emploi sous un mode plutôt collectif et, de l'autre, des pays où l'individu et la sanction du marché constituent la référence première. Par ailleurs, si l'intervention de l'État passe de plus en plus par un soutien aux familles, celui-ci varie beaucoup au point d'apparaître comme la dimension la plus discriminante des nouvelles politiques sociales. Cet ouvrage propose une analyse systématique des logiques d'intervention qui façonnent ces nouvelles formes de protection sociale. Il s'adresse non seulement aux chercheurs, mais aussi aux professionnels qui interviennent auprès des personnes sans emploi et aux décideurs.

Download or read book Mutations du march du travail et protection sociale dans une perspective internationale written by Hedva Sarfati and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 2002 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les systèmes de protection sociale et les marchés du travail ont connu ces vingt dernières années de profondes mutations. Les Etats-providence font l'objet de réformes de fond, visant à les moderniser et à les redimensionner. Les marchés du travail, quant à eux, se précarisent, se féminisent, et deviennent plus inégalitaires dans certains pays, alors que les populations vieillissent dans toute la zone de l'OCDE. Les interactions entre marchés du travail et systèmes de protection sociale occupent une place de plus en plus cruciale dans les choix sociaux et économiques concernant le chômage, les transformations du travail, la «nouvelle» pauvreté, voire la démographie. Une équipe interdisciplinaire d'experts des systèmes de protection sociale et des marchés du travail de divers pays de l'OCDE ont examiné les interactions entre ces deux problématiques sociales en pleine mutation. Ils en identifient et analysent les questions clés comme, par exemple, le lien entre l'emploi et le financement de la protection sociale, l'adaptation des systèmes de prévoyance aux carrières féminines non linéaires, ou encore le développement de nouvelles formes de protection qui visent à promouvoir l'emploi. L'ouvrage comporte des études de cas et des analyses comparatives de politiques qui ont permis une meilleure adéquation entre protection sociale et marché du travail. En conclusion l'ouvrage rappelle les tendances majeures dans ces deux domaines, en évaluant les enjeux et les défis des politiques choisies et en suggérant des scénarios alternatifs aux décideurs et aux partenaires sociaux.
