Wood, energy and households : perspectives on rural Kenya

Upphovsperson: Barnes, Carolyn
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet; The Beijer Institute
År: 1984
Ämnesord: Kenya, East Africa, Wood, Fuelwood, Energy sources, Energy consumption, Energy demand, Rural areas, SOCIAL SCIENCES, SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP
Many developing countries have been hard hit by the double "energy crisis" of threatened fuelwood supply and the increasing burden of oil imports. During the last decade energy provision has become a vitally important issue so that energy is now regarded as a basic factor of production ranking in importance with classical components: land, labour and capital. Careful and innovative energy planning has become a necessity for successful development. This book, dealing with the role of woodfuels in rural Kenya, is the first in the series of technical support Volumes for the Main Summary Report of the Kenya Fuelwood Project, "Energy and Development in Kenya: Opportunities and Constraints". This series report on the methodology and findings of the Kenyan and SADCC studies.

Migration to Shashemene : ethnicity, gender and occupation in urban Ethiopia

Upphovsperson: Bjerén, Gunilla
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1985
Ämnesord: Shashemene, Ethiopia, East Africa, Migration, Rural-urban migration, Towns, Ethnicity, Sex roles, Occupations, Theses, SOCIAL SCIENCES, SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP
This book is about migration to Shashemene, a small town in southern Ethiopia, before 1974. In the book, the migration to Shashemene elucidates the mechanisms behind the movement to small African towns experiencing rapid populations increase but having few opportunities for formal employment. A main issue is how the political and economic history of the southern central region of Ethiopia, as well as, the structure of the Ethiopian urban economy in the early 1970's, has influenced migration patterns of people from different ethnic groups coming to Shashemene. The ethnically stratified occupational structure is outlined, and the role of women in urban Ethiopia is discussed. Studies of other urban areas in Ethiopia are interpreted in the light of the findings from Shashemene.

The third world in transition : the case of the peasantry in Botswana

Upphovsperson: Hesselberg, Jan
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1985
Ämnesord: Botswana, Southern Africa, Agricultural development, Peasantry, Agricultural population, Poverty, Agricultural policy, SOCIAL SCIENCES, SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP
The objective of the present work is through the case of Botswana to discuss the creation of poverty in the period of transition from tribal to modern society in the Third World today. This is done by an analysis focusing at the peasantry. The recently renewed fashion of blaming the peasants for lack of improved food production and thus for poverty at local and national levels is questioned.

Afrika på fel spår : utvecklingens och biståndets kris i ett allt fattigare Afrika

Upphovsperson: Vilby, Knud
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1984
Ämnesord: Tanzania, Kenya, East Africa, Zambia, Southern Africa, Economic recession, Development aid, Development projects, Aid evaluation, Political science, Statsvetenskap
Afrika befinner sig i kris. Livsmedelsproduktionen sjunker, ekonomin vacklar. Den internationella ekonomiska krisen återverkar kraftigt på de fattigaste u-länderna och en inhemsk politik som har slagit fel ökar problemen. Eliten söker skydda sina egna intressen. Utvecklingen når inte ner till de fattigaste och kommer därför inte igång på riktigt. Boken handlar om Afrika men många av dess iakttagelser gäller också flera av världens fattigaste u-länder. Den drar dessutom paralleller mellan effekten av utvecklingsbistånd i vissa länder och oljeintäckter i några av de oljeexporterande u-länderna.

Many developing countries have been hard hit by the double "energy crisis" of threatened fuelwood supply and the increasing burden of oil imports. During the last decade energy provision has become a vitally important issue so that energy is now regarded as a basic factor of production ranking in importance with classical components: land, labour and capital. Careful and innovative energy planning has become a necessity for successful development. This volume contains the first part of a series of nine energy country studies, prepared by the Beijer Institute as background material for the SADCC Regional Energy Seminar in Harare, December 1982. This series report on the methodology and findings of the Kenyan and SADCC studies.

Mozambique : a dream undone

Upphovsperson: Egerö, Bertil
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1987
Ämnesord: Mozambique, Southern Africa, Economic conditions, Liberation, Decolonization, Democracy, Socialism, Social participation, State participation, Political conditions, History, Post war, Political science, Statsvetenskap
This study is a penetrating insight into the historical process of formation of a new state; the steps taken to create the basis for a democratic development, and the forces working for economic modernisation through centralisation and advanced technology. The study centers on conflicts between these two approaches in a poor and illiterate society. It connects the pre-independence processes with the politically dynamic period up to the the Party Congress of 1983 and the Nkomati Agreement with South Africa. It links the macro-perspective of Maputo to the efforts and frustrations of the simple peasants in the north.
