Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most acute water crises occur in everyday contexts in impoverished rural and urban areas across the Global South. While they rarely make headlines, these crises, characterized by inequitable access to sufficient and clean water, affect over one billion people globally. What is less known, though, is that millions of these same global citizens are at the forefront of responding to the challenges of water privatization, climate change, deforestation, mega-hydraulic projects, and other threats to accessing water as a critical resource. In Transforming Rural Water Governance Sarah T. Romano explains the bottom-up development and political impact of community-based water and sanitation committees (CAPS) in Nicaragua. Romano traces the evolution of CAPS from rural resource management associations into a national political force through grassroots organizing and strategic alliances. Resource management and service provision is inherently political: charging residents fees for service, determining rules for household water shutoffs and reconnections, and negotiating access to water sources with local property owners constitute just a few of the highly political endeavors resource management associations like CAPS undertake as part of their day-to-day work in their communities. Yet, for decades in Nicaragua, this local work did not reflect political activism. In the mid-2000s CAPS’ collective push for social change propelled them onto a national stage and into new roles as they demanded recognition from the government. Romano argues that the transformation of Nicaragua’s CAPS into political actors is a promising example of the pursuit of sustainable and equitable water governance, particularly in Latin America. Transforming Rural Water Governance demonstrates that when activism informs public policy processes, the outcome is more inclusive governance and the potential for greater social and environmental justice.

Book Synopsis The Land Governance Assessment Framework by : Klaus Deininger
Download or read book The Land Governance Assessment Framework written by Klaus Deininger and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2012 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased global demand for land posits the need for well-designed country-level land policies to protect long-held rights, facilitate land access and address any constraints that land policy may pose for broader growth. While the implementation of land reforms can be a lengthy process, the need to swiftly identify key land policy challenges and devise responses that allow the monitoring of progress, in a way that minimizes conflicts and supports broader development goals, is clear. The Land Governance Assessment Framework (LGAF) makes a substantive contribution to the land sector by providing a quick and innovative tool to monitor land governance at the country level. The LGAF offers a comprehensive diagnostic tool that covers five main areas for policy intervention: Legal and institutional framework; Land use planning, management and taxation; Management of public land; Public provision of land information; and Dispute resolution and conflict management. The LGAF assesses these areas through a set of detailed indicators that are rated on a scale of pre-coded statements (from lack of good governance to good practice). While land governance can be highly technical in nature and tends to be addressed in a partial and sporadic manner, the LGAF posits a tool for a comprehensive assessment, taking into account the broad range of issues that land governance encompasses, while enabling those unfamiliar with land to grasp its full complexity. The LGAF will make it possible for policymakers to make sense of the technical levels of the land sector, benchmark governance, identify areas that require further attention and monitor progress. It is intended to assist countries in prioritizing reforms in the land sector by providing a holistic diagnostic review that can inform policy dialogue in a clear and targeted manner. In addition to presenting the LGAF tool, this book includes detailed case studies on its implementation in five selected countries: Peru, the Kyrgyz Republic, Ethiopia, Indonesia and Tanzania.
Book Synopsis Public Health, Environment, and Development in Nicaragua and Latin America by : Christopher David Hartmann
Download or read book Public Health, Environment, and Development in Nicaragua and Latin America written by Christopher David Hartmann and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade, several leftist countries in Latin America, including Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, Nicaragua, and El Salvador, among others, have retooled national and regional political, economic, and social governance to push against the constraints of deeply ingrained neoliberalism. This so-called post/neoliberal era is an attempt to move beyond neoliberalism, which was forced upon and adopted by Latin American governments beginning in the 1970s, and its failures, including privatization of State enterprises, persistent poverty and increasing social inequality, and widespread environmental destruction. This dissertation uses the term “post/neoliberal” to acknowledge that post/neoliberal governance models exist alongside neoliberal models. To date, much focus has been paid to post/neoliberal macroeconomic policies and State-civil society relations. The aim of this dissertation, therefore, is to examine the influence of post/neoliberalism on the governance—that is, the discourses, policies, institutions, programs, and practices that manage, direct, and conduct everyday life—of public health, environmental health, and well-being. My conceptual framing draws from Foucauldian governmentalities, urban political ecology, and neoliberalism as governmentality and as policy. Together, these literatures provoke new questions concerning the dialectic relationship among health, environment, and development amid changing political economic governance in Latin America. The empirical basis of this dissertation draws from qualitative (discourse analysis, interviews, and participant observation) and quantitative (household survey questionnaires) fieldwork conducted in Managua, Nicaragua. This dissertation is comprised of three body chapters to be submitted to academic journals for peer review. In the first body chapter I argue that contemporary public health governance in Venezuela, Bolivia, and Ecuador, three countries where post/neoliberalism is most pronounced, is characterized by social medicine and neoliberal and post-neoliberal values, strategies, and practices. Importantly, I find that in emphasizing interculturality and “collective well-being,” post-neoliberal governance pushes the boundaries of current understandings of social medicine, though strong ties to neoliberalism are maintained. In the second body chapter I examine the themes of solidarity participation and living well in Nicaragua. I focus attention on the discourses and strategies of the “Live Clean, Live Healthy, Live Nice, Live Well...!” national campaign (hereafter “Live Nice, Live Well”). I situate the campaign in relation to the revolutionary Sandinista and neoliberal periods to analyze how environmental health governance in the contemporary period is politicized, responsibilized, and aligned with indigeneity. Survey data reveal that lay perceptions of Live Nice, Live Well deviate from government discourses, and I argue that the campaign contributes to the production of a normalized form of post/neoliberal citizenship that reflects the diverse antecedents of contemporary governance in the country. The third body chapter slightly deviates from the others in that it examines the social and economic effects of a neoliberal municipal waste site development project on waste pickers. I find that the project does little to improve waste pickers’ socio-economic marginalization, which contributes to neighborhood-wide environmental degradation, thereby preventing them from “living well.” Further, the development project highlights the disjuncture between State discourses focused on moving beyond neoliberalism and persistent neoliberal practices. Broadly, this dissertation argues that examination of post/neoliberal governance, including its tensions, contradictions, and paradoxes, is critical to understanding public and environmental health in contemporary Latin America.

Book Synopsis The Handbook of Microfinance by : Beatriz Armendariz
Download or read book The Handbook of Microfinance written by Beatriz Armendariz and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Microfinance addresses the gap between clients who are benefiting from access to financial services via MFIs, and the potential market, which remains underserved or untapped. This gap can be attributed to a "mismatch" between what consumers, or potential clients, demand and what MFIs offer in terms of financial products. The scope of the book is wide. It includes successes and failures, main challenges and debates, methodologies for impact evaluation via random trials, leading trends in Asia versus Latin America, main efforts in Africa, the importance of value chains in Central America, ethical and gender issues, savings, microinsurance, governance, commercialization trends and the potential advantages and disadvantages of it. Lastly it features main lessons from informal finance and 19th-century credit cooperatives addressing the above-mentioned mismatch.
