Book Synopsis Participatory Development in Kenya by : Josephine Syokau Mwanzia
Download or read book Participatory Development in Kenya written by Josephine Syokau Mwanzia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Participatory Development (PDev) has been embraced by Third World governments and international organizations such as the World Bank as a means to reduce poverty and empower disadvantaged communities. The emphasis on creating partnerships and using participatory and people-centred approaches has obvious political appeal, yet there is evidence that in practice interventions designed to increase PDev and reduce poverty have yet to have the desired empowerment, transformation and sustainability effect. Using an in-depth study of the Basic Education Improvement Project (BEIP) implemented by the Government of Kenya, the authors of this book critically assess the fit between policy, practice and theory of PDev to shed light on theoretical debates that are on-going in development.

Book Synopsis Performance as a Means of Participatory Development for Kenyan Community Based Organizations by : Kendle Beth Wade

This book was released on 2010 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Participatory development was introduced as an alternative to the top-down development programs that dominated international development processes since World War II. The goal of participatory development was to ensure that the people participating in development programs could have some voice in how the programs were designed and implemented. However, critics of participatory development point out that participatory projects have largely failed to achieve their goal of incorporating participants' voices. Critics maintain that most participatory development projects are simply another form of top-down development placed in a new package. This thesis explores Theatre for Development (TFD) as a field which might offer some techniques to make participatory projects more truly participatory. I selected TFD because it is a field influenced by the pedagogy of Paulo Freire. Since Freire's work was one of the early influences on participatory research techniques in the early 1980s, it stands to reason that TFD might offer some techniques to make projects more closely reflect the initial goals of participatory development. Therefore, this thesis explores the question: 'Can TFD techniques address the critiques of participatory development methods?' To answer this question, I conducted fieldwork in Kenya during the summer of 2009 to analyze two TFD workshops I facilitated in a low-income settlement near Nairobi and a village in western Kenya. I argue here that theatre is already used by Kenyan community-based organizations to engage in the international development process, and that the act of performance engages participants in a visceral, creative activity which encourages an environment ripe for participation"--Abstract, p. iii.
Book Synopsis Working with Rural Communities Participatory Action Research in Kenya by : Chitere, Orieko P.
Download or read book Working with Rural Communities Participatory Action Research in Kenya written by Chitere, Orieko P. and published by University of Nairobi Press. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses itself to mobilisation and involvement of rural people in development projects. It describes an imperfect but, nonetheless, exciting and thought-provoking exercise that drew social science researchers and students from four public universities in Kenya into an experiment in participatory research, community education and development in two locations. The experiment was grounded on the assumptions that the people of Kenya are a primary resource and that given proper roles and contribution of planners, researchers and programme implementers, self-sustainable development can become a reality. The contributors of this book have focused on the potential of the university to facilitate participation of the people in development. They have given specific suggestions on how this might be accomplished.

Book Synopsis Participatory Arts in International Development by : Paul Cooke
Download or read book Participatory Arts in International Development written by Paul Cooke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the practical delivery of participatory arts projects in international development. Bringing together an interdisciplinary group of academics, international development professionals and arts practitioners, the book engages honestly with the competing challenges faced by the different groups of people involved. Participatory arts are becoming increasingly popular in international development circles, fuelled in part by the increased accessibility of audio-visual media in the digital age, and also by the move towards participatory discourses in the wake of the UN’s Agenda 2030. The book asks: What do participatory arts projects look like in practice, and why are they used as an international development tool? How can we develop practical and sustainable development projects on the ground, localising best practice according to cultural, economic and linguistic contexts? What are the enablers of, and barriers to, successful participatory initiatives, and how can we evaluate past projects to learn and feed into future projects? Written to appeal to both academics and practitioners, this book would also be suitable for teaching on courses related to participatory development, community arts, and culture and development.
Book Synopsis Citizen Participation in Decision Making by : Kimani Njogu
Download or read book Citizen Participation in Decision Making written by Kimani Njogu and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013-12-29 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a result of public dialogue forums in pursuit of accountable and transparent governance in Kenya organized by Twaweza Communications with the support of Ford Foundation. From the convenings it was evident that the stability of Kenya will be driven by the extent to which citizens feel fully included in the development agenda. Quite often, political leaders view the role of citizens in governance as restricted primarily to their participation in the electoral process. This narrow view has led to arrogance and total disregard of citizens after poll results are announced. Under the new political dispensation heralded by the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya on August 27, 2010 this trend must change and the sovereignty of the people, in theory and practice, must be reinscribed. The publication raises important issues worth serious reflection. It also suggests ways in which citizens can better participate in their own transformation. Case studies highlighted in the book exemplify the importance building the Kenyan nation by addressing patterns of exclusion and glaring inequalities. The topics covered include multipartism, natural resource governance, gender, politics of identity, marginalization of Coastal Kenya, youth empowerment and investing in knowledge economy among others. The book is a valuable addition to our understanding of the root political and social anxieties in Kenya and how these could be ameliorated.
