År: 1974
Ämnesord: Guinea-Bissau, West Africa, History, Political mobilization, Political participation, National liberation movements, Decolonization, Political development, Political science, Statsvetenskap
In this book concrete facts are presented about the struggle for national liberation and development in the small West African peasant country, an independent republic since September, 1973. The focus of the book is upon the new society under construction in the liberated areas of the country, while the armed struggle against the Portuguese colonial army was still going on. The book takes account of the dramatic changes in Portugal and her former African possessions that occurred in 1974, including Portuguese recognition and United Nations membership of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau.

Watering white elephants? : lessons from donor funded planning and implementation of rural water supplies in Tanzania

Upphovsperson: Therkildsen, Ole

År: 1988
Ämnesord: Tanzania, East Africa, Rural areas, Water supply, Development aid, Aid evaluation, SOCIAL SCIENCES, SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP
The book presents five case studies on various donor approaches to the preparation of long-term regional water supply plans in Tanzania and their subsequent implementation (Denmark, Finland, Holland, Sweden and the World Bank). The donor approaches tend to be welfare and control oriented, although to varying degrees. They have been characterized by extensive data collection; detailed pre-implementation planning; none or limited participation of beneficiaries; emphasis on fast implementation of new schemes; and donor bypassing Tanzanian organizations. This has significantly contributed to the non-use of donor-prepared long-term plans, and the non-substainability of donor-financed water schemes.

Survival on meagre resources : Hadendowa pastoralism in the Red Sea Hills

Upphovspersoner: Manger, Leif O. | Abd el Ati, Hassan
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1996
Ämnesord: Sudan, East Africa, Adaptation to change, Environmental degradation, Physical environment, Vegetation, Traditional culture, Ethnic groups, Food supply, Pastoralism, Survival strategies, Sudan, Political science, Statsvetenskap
This is the first comprehensive study of Hadendowa Beja pastoralism in Eastern Sudan. The various chapters deal with the effects of drought and of human activities on the natural environment; the effect on pastoral migration patterns, and socio-cultural changes. The authors argue that the recurrent pastoral disasters cannot be blamed only on the pastoralists, but must be related to wider economic and political contexts, in which the pastoralists are becoming increasingly marginalised.
