Cooperatives revisited

Medarbetare: Hedlund, Hans
Utgivare: Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1988
Ämnesord: Egypt, North Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania, East Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Southern Africa, Cooperatives, Rural cooperatives, Production cooperatives, Conference papers, SOCIAL SCIENCES, SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP
Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe provide examples in this book of the problems and progress of the cooperative movement in Africa. The studies presented here were the major contributions to a seminar for African and European scholars specializing in examining the development of cooperatives. Certain themes reoccur: the relationships between the cooperatives and the state, the influence of the national economy on the local cooperatives, the pros and cons of the producer cooperatives. The tone is now very much against direct state control. Other themes are new: the role of women in cooperatives, a cautious view of external assistance to central bodies, and the need for self-help groups.

This essay terminates by describing this latest phase, highlighting the strong differentiating effects and the class formation that is taking place in the area.

Zambia's policies towards foreign investment : the case of the mining and non-mining sectors

Upphovsperson: Saasa, Oliver S.
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1987
Ämnesord: Zambia, Southern Africa, Economic conditions, Dual economy, Mining, Copper industry, Foreign investment, Economic policy, Business and economics, Ekonomi
This study argues that the changes in Zambia's policy towards foreign investors over the years from 1964 to 1985 have been conditioned by objective factors, both internal and external to the Republic and that the influence of ideology appears to be fairly minimal. The economy has remained basically 'mixed' in content despite several institutional and structural re-organizations and foreign investment has, thus, continued to play its pivotal role in the country's economic life.

Every year four and a half million children under five die in Asia, Latin America, and Africa from diarrhoea, caused by contaminated water. This is one of many reasons why improved drinking water is high on the agenda in many developments projects and plans. But what happens when better water is supplied? What is the impact upon child health? What experiences should be taken into account in the planning and implementation of schemed for better water supply for the African households? This case study of rural area in southern Malawi tries to give some answers.
