Book Synopsis Mapping the Rural Problem in the Baltic Countryside by : Ilkka Alanen
Download or read book Mapping the Rural Problem in the Baltic Countryside written by Ilkka Alanen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The agricultural privatization strategy adopted in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania was based on the premise that family farms are the most effective alternative to socialist large-scale agriculture. In addition, international organizations, particularly the World Bank, made recommendations concerning reform speed, synchronization and ownership rights that would facilitate transferring resources from large-scale producers to family farmers. This book provides a critical and comparative analysis of the implementation of this policy, and in particular the strategy promoted by the World Bank. The preservation of large-scale production is the key to Estonia's success while its eradication from Latvia and Lithuania did not produce a family farm system. Work productivity and the extent of plot farming are the indicators of success or failure. Research findings on deindustrialization, the hardships faced by new enterprises, rural tourism, increasing poverty, and problems in the civil society as presented in this book shed new light on these and other key issues in transition strategy.

Book Synopsis Toward Entrepreneurial Community Development by : Michael Fortunato
Download or read book Toward Entrepreneurial Community Development written by Michael Fortunato and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward Entrepreneurial Community Development is about developing entrepreneurial communities, and goes beyond theories of the firm to demonstrate how local and regional society contributes in important ways to the vitality of entrepreneurs. The literature is rich with insights about leadership and culture within SMEs, and the behaviours and attitudes of their founders, founding teams, and managers. Since most of the attention in the entrepreneurship literature is focused on firms, we wish to explore everyone else: The social environment surrounding the entrepreneur, and how leadership and culture outside the firm can have pervasive effects on the business. This book reaches across disciplinary boundaries, integrating and advancing knowledge on entrepreneurial community development. The book identifies actionable leadership strategies that can be used by literally anyone to help make a community or region a more culturally-supportive, interactive home for entrepreneurial minds. We draw from original research to compare high and low entrepreneurship communities, and present an emergent picture of how community-level actors can (or fail to) work together to support entrepreneurship in places that are culturally distant from the Silicon Valley (i.e., most places). Toward Entrepreneurial Community Development then offers techniques for entrepreneurial community leadership, including how to build lasting alliances, create an image, and harness the local culture for entrepreneurial advantage. The result is a book that provides the reader with the latest advancements and techniques in entrepreneurship development in a straight-forward, readable format. No matter the reader, Toward Entrepreneurial Community Development demonstrates how anyone, in any position, can lead a local entrepreneurship movement starting anywhere, anytime.

Book Synopsis Mapping of adaptation interventions in Senegal by : Ndione, Y. C.
Download or read book Mapping of adaptation interventions in Senegal written by Ndione, Y. C. and published by International Water Management Institute (IWMI). CGIAR Initiative on Climate Resilience. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CGIAR Initiative on Climate Resilience is geared towards Building Systemic Resilience against Climate Variability and Extremes in developing countries including Guatemala, Kenya, Morocco, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Senegal, and Zambia. The initiative has four work packages: 1). De-risking agriculture production systems and livelihood from climate change, 2). Building production system resilience recognizing the linkages of climate, agriculture, security, and peace; 3). Developing adaptation instruments to inform policy and investments, and 4). Multiscale governance for transformative adaptation. Work Package 4 (WP4) expects to set up a bottom-up polycentric governance framework for multiscale transformative adaptation and targeted climate investments. WP4 has three components: A). Setting up a polycentric governance model and a “leave no one behind” indicator framework, and developing B). a climate smart governance dashboard to empower farmers, communities, and policy planners to plan and implement bottom-up integrated climate and water risk management interventions, and C) AWARE platform for early warning, early action, and early finance to promote integrated multiscale institutional responses to climate shocks. The Initiative Prospective Agricole et Rurale (IPAR) is supporting the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) in implementing component A of ClimBeR. This report outlines the steps undertaken in mapping adaptation interventions in Senegal as part of ClimBeR activities towards developing a bottom-up polycentric governance model for transformative multi-scale adaptation and timely targeted climate investments. The mapping exercise the review of published grey and peer-reviewed literature and interviews with key stakeholders in national structures involved in food security, climate change and/or governance of early warning systems. The IPAR team mapped 31 adaptation interventions and identified the stakeholders involved in the planning and implementation of the interventions, the geographic focus of the interventions and intended/target beneficiaries of the interviews. All the mapped intervention focused on food security with households and smallholder farmers as primary target beneficiaries. Different institutions, including government agencies and ministries, and development partners and non-govermental organisations are involved in planning and implementation of climate change adaptation in Senegal. The mapping activities, however, revealed that although the institutions identified through this mapping exercise share similar project goals and are involved in similar projects, they use different operational and institutional frameworks resulting in the lack of harmonization of tools deployed in assessing the orientation of the various interventions and duplication of interventions. The lack quality climate data was also identified as a barrier to decision making and governance of adaptation planning and implementation. Ensuring that all stakeholders across all administrative levels and sectors have the same level of information to guide their action is critical in coordinating efforts in enhancing climate adaptation action. Furthermore, a robust governance mechanism to support the governance of adaptation interventions in Senegal remain urgent priorities. Deepening these governance structures that enables cross-sectoral and multi-stakeholder collaboration is critical in enhancing progress in adaptation planning and implementation in Senegal. Mainstreaming of climate change adaptation into national, sectoral and local level policies and budgeting are important enablers of in the governance of climate adaptation.
