Diasporas as 'agents of development': transforming brain drain into brain gain? The Dutch example / Marjolein C. Groot in Development in Practice, Volume 17 number 3 (June 2007)

Aucun avis sur cette notice. [article]  inDevelopment in Practice > Volume 17 number 3 (June 2007) . - pp 445-465 Titre : Diasporas as 'agents of development': transforming brain drain into brain gain? The Dutch example Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marjolein C. Groot, Auteur; Pat Gibbons, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp 445-465 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : ATOL_thesaurus migrants Résumé : The article is based on research that explored and analysed the potential role of diasporas in development aid in the Netherlands. The research adopted the hypothesis that development agencies could benefit from the knowledge, skills, and views of diasporas as 'agents of development' and thereby make aid more effective and sustainable. Data were derived from semi-structured interviews with representatives of diasporas residing in the Netherlands: Dutch NGOs selected by the Dutch government for their capacity-building programmes; official donors, namely the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken); and international organisations, such as the International Organization of Migration (IOM), Secondary data were derived from a literature review.

NGOs and multi-layered management of protected resources in Belize and Malaysia / Deena Burris in Development in Practice, Volume 17 number 3 (June 2007)

Aucun avis sur cette notice. [article]  inDevelopment in Practice > Volume 17 number 3 (June 2007) . - pp.439-444 Titre : NGOs and multi-layered management of protected resources in Belize and Malaysia Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Deena Burris, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp.439-444 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : ATOL_thesaurus gestion des ressources / organisations non-gouvernementales / gouvernement Résumé : Constrained largely by lack of resources - technical, financial, legal, and/or administrative - governments in developing countries often create multi-layered management structures to regulate and monitor protected resources. Such structures are created when non-government organisations are given authority to monitor and/or manage certain aspects of a protected natural or indigenous resource. Other aspects, often regulatory, remain under the management of government. Using case studies from Belize and Malaysia, the research reported here suggests that the multi-layered management structures created between NGOs and governments in developing countries often encourage chaotic monotoring, reactive policies, and conflicts over jurisdiction as well as a dependency ont the technical, financial, and/or legal resources of NGOs.

Results-based management: friend or foe? / Michael J. Hatton in Development in Practice, Volume 17 number 3 (June 2007)

Aucun avis sur cette notice. [article]  inDevelopment in Practice > Volume 17 number 3 (June 2007) . - pp. 426-432 Titre : Results-based management: friend or foe? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Michael J. Hatton, Auteur; Kent Schroeder, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 426-432 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : ATOL_thesaurus gestion Résumé : Results-based management (RBM) is well entrenched as a management tool for international development practice. Yet after a decade of its use, many development practitioners view RBM in a negative light, considering it to be a donor requirement that diverts time, energy and resources away from actually doing development work. This article provides some broad reflections on RBM from a distinctive vantage point: the perspective of the project (or programme) evaluator. The article reflects on challenges associated with RBM and draws from these reflections a number of suggested strategies to improve its use. It concludes that development practitioners need to be more aggressive in emplementing RBM.

Practitioner-led research: experiences with Learning Platforms / Rinus van Klinken in Development in Practice, Volume 17 number 3 (June 2007)

Aucun avis sur cette notice. [article]  inDevelopment in Practice > Volume 17 number 3 (June 2007) . - pp.419-425 Titre : Practitioner-led research: experiences with Learning Platforms Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rinus van Klinken, Auteur; Gerard Prinsen, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp.419-425 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : ATOL_thesaurus recherche / acquisition de connaissances Résumé : This article describes Learning Platforms, a structured effort by the Dutch-based agency SNV to encourage its expert advisers to engage in reading and analysing academic research related to the context in which they work, and to undertake research of their own. Although the practitioners' ability to apply their research to their daily practice, and the organisation's ability to absorb the findings of the research as part of its ways of working, have been partial or limited, the approach has the potential to bring academic and practice-based endeavour together in ways that are mutually beneficial.

Community-manages rice banks: lessons from Laos / Dipankar Datta in Development in Practice, Volume 17 number 3 (June 2007)

Aucun avis sur cette notice. [article]  inDevelopment in Practice > Volume 17 number 3 (June 2007) . - pp.410-418 Titre : Community-manages rice banks: lessons from Laos Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dipankar Datta, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp.410-418 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Rice banks are increasingly used in South-East Asia as a means of addressing seasonal food crises facing poor communities. Despite general agreement about the effectiveness of community-manages rice banks in improving food security, there has been almost no research into their effectiveness in reaching the poorest, or the prospects of sustainability linked to regular repayments of rice. Concern Laos sought to answer these questions through community mobilisation, forming rules and regulations to encourage the participaiton of the poorest, developing simple tools and procedures in line with existing community capacity, and building greater community capacity. Other challenges remain, such as changing the prevailing 'relief' mentality, ensuring waomen's participation, and establishing regular savings schemes, in order to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of the rice banks.

Given the lack of a tradition of encouraging civic participation in public affairs, however, there was initially little general awareness of how to engage with these Councils. The authors describe a project supported by the Ministry of Rural Development and the German bilateral agency, GTZ and undertaken with local non-governemant organisations, to identify and support active comunity groups and improve their capacity to interact with the Commune Councils, while at the same time seeking ways for the Commune Councils to support the different groups.

NGO's, corporate social responsibility, and social accountability: Inditex vs. Clean Clothes / Chaime Marcuello Servos in Development in Practice, Volume 17 number 3 (June 2007)

[article]  inDevelopment in Practice > Volume 17 number 3 (June 2007) . - pp. 393-403 Titre : NGO's, corporate social responsibility, and social accountability: Inditex vs. Clean Clothes Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Chaime Marcuello Servos, Auteur; Carmen Marcuello, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 393-403 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : ATOL_thesaurus organisations non-gouvernementales / responsabilité sociale des entreprises / redevabilité / études de cas Résumé : Markets and businesses are undergoing major changes as globalisation deepens. Pressure from diverse social groups, both environmental and economic, is changing the operating environment. Many corporations are interested in devising social-responsability strategies, both as a response to outside pressures and in their own interests. Against the background, this article considers the case of Inditex, a company base in Galicia, and the 'harassment' to which it was subjected by Setem, the Spanish chapter of the Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC). Reviewing Setem's claims leads to a better understanding of the repercussions for social systems that are now increasingly informed by external actors. The authors argue that both corporations and non-government organisations must account for the social impact of their activities.

BRAC's Targeted Ultra Poor programme for rural women in Bangladesh Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Naomi Hossain, Auteur; Imran Matin, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp.0380-392 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : ATOL_thesaurus pauvreté / femmes rurales Résumé : This article draws preliminary lessons from the experience of engaging village elites in support of a BRAC programme for ultra-poor women in rural Bangladesh. It describes the origins, aims, and operation of this programme, which provides comprehensive livelihood support and productive assets to the extreme poor. Based on field research in in the rural north-west , the article examines the conditions under which elites can support interventions for the ultra-poor, and the risks and benefits of such engagement. It describes the impact of committees mandated to support ultra-poor programme participants, and attempts to understand the somewhat paradoxical success of this intervention. Conclusions and lessons from the experience involve revisiting assumptions that dominate scholarship and programmes relating to the politics of poverty in rural Bangladesh.

Documentation fo this innovative qualitative monitoring technique is slowly growing, but is mostly limited to grey literature. In particular, there is a lack of rigorous investigation to assess the complexities and challenges of applying the technique with integrity in the development context. The authors emplooy a conceptual model of monitoring and evaluation practicalities (the 'M&E Data Cycle' for a systematic examination of the challenges to, and key components of, successful application of the MSC technique. They provide a detailed analysis of how MSC was employed in two projects in Laos, extracting the lessons learned and insights generated. This practice-based information can inform future deployment of the MSC technique and contribute to its development.
