Development Methods and Approaches: Critical Reflections
ISBN: 9780855984946 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Many aid agencies advocate approaches to development which are people-centred, participatory, empowering and gender-fair. This volume of essays explores some of the middle ground between such values-based approaches and the methods and techniques that the agencies adopt. The selection offers critical assessments of fashionable tools such as Participatory Rural Appraisal and Logical Framework. It demonstrates how these are linked (conceptually and in practice) to the wider ideological environment in which they are used, and shows how they depend upon the skills of the fieldworker and/or...

Experienced practitioners and academics provide an insightful look into the limitations of NGOs in claiming to represent and assist 'civil society'.

The volume outlines many of the tensions NGOs face in claiming to speak for the poor while also remaining accountable to national and international actors. Together the authors provide an excellent overview of these important issues.

Development and Culture
ISBN: 9780855984724 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Most development policies and interventions are based on an assumption that 'modernisation' in the Western sense is the ultimate goal of human societies. Culture is therefore regarded either as an impediment to progress or as something outside the economic and political spheres and consigned to areas of religion and ritual. This collection of papers, published in association with World Faiths Development Dialogue and written by a range of aid practitioners and scholars, shows the need not merely to view culture as an important dimension of development but to see development itself as a...

Development and Cities: Essays from Development and Practice
ISBN: 9780855984656 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Approaches to sustainable development in cities of the South have focused too exclusively on narrow technical aspects of environmental protection, with no benefit to most residents in cities and peri-urban areas. However, in many countries of the South the disengagement of government along with budgetary constraints, a reliance on cost-recovery mechanisms within structural adjustment packages and increasing disparity between poor and rich, further reduces access by the poor to even the most rudimentary services. Development and Cities focuses on the political, social and economic viability of...

Development and Advocacy
ISBN: 9780855984632 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Most major development NGOs dedicate significant resources to advocacy. Many also work to inform and shape public opinion, whether through advertising or fundraising or through education programmes. They argue that fundamental change is not achieved until the policy environment is right and cannot be sustained without a groundswell of support for reform. In recent years, however, advocacy work has come under increasing criticism. NGOs are challenged on the grounds of: Legitimacy - Whom do they represent, and to whom are they accountable? Effectiveness - What practical impact does high-level...

Capacity-Building: An Approach to People-Centred Development
ISBN: 9780855983666 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The prime purpose of Oxfam and similar development agencies is to assist poor men and women in changing their situation and exercising their right to participate in the development of their societies. However, aid agencies that ignore peoples existing strengths may create dependency, and so make people more vulnerable than before. This book examines the concept of capacity-building and why it is such an integral part of development. It considers specific and practical ways in which NGOs can contribute to enabling people to build on the capacities they already possess, while avoiding...

Participatory Research and Gender Analysis : New Approaches
ISBN: 9780415577687 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Agricultural development research aims to generate new knowledge or to retrieve and apply existing forms of knowledge in ways that can be used to improve the welfare of people who are living in poverty or are otherwise excluded, for instance by gender-based discrimination. Its effective application therefore requires ongoing dialogue with and the strong engagement of men and women from poor marginal farming communities. This book discusses opportunities afforded by effective knowledge pathways linking researchers and farmers, underpinned by participatory research and gender analysis. It...
