Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book assumes significance because it takes stock of changes, progress, issues, policy implications and experiences of the agencies involved in the wasteland development programmes.... This book gives practical solutions to issues of changes in policies, laws and administration based on various experiences.... This book is a useful source of information for all those involved in such programmes and policies. --Deccan Herald "This volume represents a significant landmark in the continued efforts to enhance rural poor women's access to land and other productive resources, for better livelihoods and improved status. . . . It is a landmark from the point of view of both practitioners and researchers, as it brings together an array of practical experiences in the field of organizing women for improved access and greater bargaining power. Along with this, it deals with related issues and problems. . . . The book is a valuable addition to the literature on women's poverty and landlessness, their struggle to strengthen their rights and status, thus providing an agenda for action by policymakers, NGOs, and women's groups, as well as international agencies." --Seminar What role do women play in the development of wasteland areas and regions? How do caste, class, and tribal affiliation affect women's participation in development of wasteland areas? This volume brings together policy-makers, researches, and village women to discuss and analyze wasteland development primarily from the perspective of the women themselves, and not merely from the point of environmental regeneration. Contributors first address the evolution of wasteland development in India in general, offering a unique framework for understanding the place of women within it. They then document the grassroots experience of village women in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Throughout, contributors examine legal implications of women gaining access to land-based resources and review policy issues that will ensure women's continued participation in wasteland development. "Although the data collected are confined to India, they help reach conclusions valid for trans-border countries in common ecological belts." -The Statesman "It is rich in empirical material, and adds considerably to the existing evidence of the interrelationship between poverty, natural resources and gender. . . . The editors must be congratulated for selecting paper of almost uniform quality, and covering such comprehensive range of issues. . . . The most important contribution of this book . . . is the extensive evidence it offers for a still nascent thesis in the field of women's empowerment." -The Book Review

Download or read book Women and Work written by Susan Bullock and published by Zed Books. This book was released on 1994 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait de la couverture : "All around the world, women work. Yet the work they do has always been, and continues to be, considered as less important than that performed by men. In many cases women's activities are not even acknowledged as work. Not only do women encounter more obstacles than men in education and training, but they are over-represented amongst the lowest paid, part-time workforce, enjoying few employement rights. Recognition of this has led to adoption of measures over the past two decades to eliminate gender discrimination and to promote equality of opportunity and treatement for women workers. Thos book is a contribution to the efforts being made, mainly by women themselves, to ensure that these intiatives are implemented. The author draws together research on gender, work and development, and emphasises that the concept of work should include not only paid labour but all of those activitie which contribute to production and development."

Book excerpt: Extrait de la couverture : "Contrary to expectations, the recent emphasis on environmental and communitarian rights (as in wasteland and watershed development in South Asia) has reinforced existing gender biases and created new inequalities. This significant volume critically examiines the complex and many-layered process of mainstreaming gender in natural resource management. The contributors build a richly textured 'genderscape' of community resource rights in varied contexts ; unravel the gender barriers in traditional practices, community institutions and modern systems of governance ; document diverse approaches to livelihood ; and present a strong case for gender equity in sustainable resource management."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Makes recommendations for removing the barriers women face in contributing to and benefiting from sustainable economic development. International experience has proved that support for a stronger role for women in society contributes to economic growth through improved child survival rates, better family health, and reduced fertility rates. Nevertheless, women still face many barriers in contributing to and benefiting from development. These include low investment in female education and health and restricted access to services and assets. This study highlights five areas that could help change this inequitable situation: education, health, wage labor, agriculture and natural resource management, and financial services. A gender and development strategy is suggested that would take into account the relative roles and responsibilities of women and men, implying that the actions and attitudes of men must change. The ideas presented in this paper are an example of the World Bank's commitment to mainstreaming gender concerns into its operations. Although significant steps have already been taken in this direction, there remains a long road ahead.

Download or read book Managing Natural Resources for Development in Africa written by Washington Odongo Ochola and published by IDRC. This book was released on 2010 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex and dynamic interlinks between natural resource management (NRM) and development have long been recognized by national and international research and development organizations and have generated voluminous literature. However, much of what is available in the form of university course books, practical learning manuals and reference materials in NRM is based on experiences from outside Africa. Managing Natural Resources for Development in Africa: A Resource Book provides an understanding of the various levels at which NRM issues occur and are being addressed scientifically, economically, socially and politically. The book's nine chapters present state-of-the-art perspectives within a holistic African context. The book systematically navigates the tricky landscape of integrated NRM, with special reference to Eastern and Southern Africa, against the backdrop of prevailing local, national, regional and global social, economic and environmental challenges. The authors' wide experience, the rich references made to emerging challenges and opportunities, and the presentation of different tools, principles, approaches, case studies and processes make the book a rich and valuable one-stop resource for postgraduate students, researchers, policymakers and NRM practitioners. The book is designed to help the reader grasp in-depth NRM perspectives and presents innovative guidance for research design and problem solving, including review questions, learning activities and recommended further reading. The book was developed through a writeshop process by a multi-disciplinary team of lecturers from the University of Nairobi, Egerton University, Kenyatta University, the University of Zimbabwe, the University of Malawi, Makerere University and the University of Dar es Salam. In addition, selected NRM experts from regional and international research organizations including the World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF), the Africa Forest Forum, RUFORUM, IIRR and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) participated in the writeshop and contributed material to the book.

The analysis of macro data is supported by revealing micro studies based on field surveys and an examination of cultural trends.
