1	The Harambee Movement and its Effects on Kenya's Economic Development Moga, Mary M. 05 1900 (has links) This paper examines the Harambee Movement and how it affected Kenya's economic development. Before 1963 Kenya was a British colony and economic development favored the colonial government. At Independence the new government tried to restructure the economy for the Kenyan people. Recognizing the lack of adequate capital and a rural development program, the movement became a means by which people could provide services for themselves. These services included schools, technical training, water supply and health facilities. Sources of data were books, articles, government publications and papers published by the Institute of Development Studies, Nairobi University. The Harambee Movement flourished in the provision of educational opportunities, clean water supply and health facilities. Problems included planning, coordinating and duplication of services. economic development Kenya history Harambee Movement Economic development projects -- Kenya. Kenya -- Economic conditions.
2	Enhancing project sustainability beyond donor support : an analysis of grassroots democratisation as a possible alternative Mazibuko, Jacob Brighton 30 November 2007 (has links) This research, has relevance in the wake of dwindling aid channelled to the third world rural poor. This study has explored ways of breaking away from benevolence and economism. The research explores four objectives that are focussed on scanning the boundary, in terms of challenges and possible solutions. This provides some in-depth understanding of challenges that face the process of establishing self-sustaining institutions of development. In the last two objectives, the research explores some programming alternatives that would enhance the establishment of democratic and participatory organisations that maximise social capital and grassroots democratisation. A list of guidelines specific to institutions has been drawn. The results of the survey reveal that sustainability cannot be predicted due to the uncertainties and ambiguities associated with project success. The hypothesis that participation and grassroots democratisation facilitates project success has been validated and there was greater project success in participatory organisations, given the baseline context. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies) Sustainability challenges Scanning the boundary Economism Surge Project designs Participation Memocracy Nationalisation Liberalisation Capitalism Classical socialism Democratic socialism Participatory organisations Hierarchical Solidaristic Localism Giantism Globalism Localisation Villagisation Ujamma Harambee Social praxis 338.96897 Democratization -- Malawi Rural development -- Malawi Sustainable development -- Malawi Rural poor -- Services for -- Malawi Development economics -- Malawi Community development -- Malawi
