Evaluation of the relationship between the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung in South Africa and its recipients : 2006-2011Msibi, Nancy Matjie 29 May 2014 (has links)
M.A. (Public Management and Governance) / The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS), a German political foundation, opened its office in South Africa in 1982. Political foundations assist in strengthening democracy and the promotion of good governance through funding democracy promotion activities in developing countries. The relationship between donors and recipients of funding is a complex one. Recipients depend on donors for funding and thus in most instances it seems that they take orders from donors and that they may compromise their own ideas/projects and implement what the donor prefers. Donors are also frequently blamed for tying aid to conditionality, thus putting recipients in the difficult position of trying to please the donor even though they have a better knowledge of what their countries or people need. Despite also experiencing some of the abovementioned issues, the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung refers to the relationship with its recipients as a partnership. KAS refers to the recipients of funding as partners because KAS works together with its partners to ensure that the projects succeed. In very exceptional cases, where KAS head office has partnership contracts with recipients, funds for such organizations are disbursed at the start of the project, upon receipt of a budget. Even in such cases, KAS still has continuous engagement to see that funds are used as stipulated in the contract and budget. However, with the majority of recipients the funding model operates in two ways: recipients may send invoices to KAS and the latter pays the service providers directly, or the recipients may pay the service providers and submit invoices and proof of payment to KAS for reimbursement when financial reporting is completed at the end of the project. KAS does not dictate terms to recipients. Instead they both work together to ensure that the project succeeds. The research investigated the relationship between KAS and its recipients. The sample in this study comprises selected recipients of KAS funding in South Africa during the period 2006-2011. KAS does not fund all projects of the selected recipients; they have other donors as well. The primary issue with which all of them are dissatisfied is the lack of institutional funding from KAS specifically, but also from donors in general. The issue of funding being made available for projects only is creating difficulties for recipients because they have to source funds for other costs e.g. salaries.

The Network Governance Approach And The Activities Of The Konrad Adenauer Foundation In TurkeyKurt, Omur 01 September 2008 (has links) (PDF)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the activities of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, one of the German political foundations in Turkey, within the context of the network governance approach. Several tools within this approach are used as heuristic devices to elaborate the relationships of the KAS in the Turkish political terrain. Among these tools, the concept of informality provides a crucial insight to explore the activities of the KAS. This thesis argues that the weight of informal, non-governmental mechanisms in policy-making processes is on the rise in Turkey and the KAS plays an important role in the establishment of such mechanisms. However, though the rise of these mechanisms has the potential to open up opportunies for participation in policy-making processes, in practice, partnerships established by the KAS hinder equal and broad-based participation since they are based on ideological commonality and thus, closed to outside.

Was soll Gegenstand von Musik in der Schule sein? / What should be the subject of music education?Wallbaum, Christopher 19 April 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Der Beitrag nimmt seinen Ausgangspunkt bei der Analyse eines Papiers der Konrad Adenauer-Stiftung, das einen Werkekanon für den Musikunterricht vorschlägt. Er führt zu dem Schluss, dass Musik eine besondere Art der ästhetischen Praxis ist, die kulturabhängige Wahrnehmungsinteressen, Vollzugsweisen und dementsprechend gestaltete Musikstücke umfasst. Am Beispiel einer Profiloberstufe wird gezeigt, warum in musikalisch bildender Praxis nicht ethische oder historische, sondern ästhetische Praxis bestimmend sein sollte. / What should be the subject of music education? The article takes its starting point at analysing a paper of the Konrad Adenauer-Stiftung, that suggests an opus- canon. The proposal of the article is, that music is a special kind of aesthetic practice including different ways of perception, which depends on cultural experiences. The example of a general school points out, why aesthical and not ethical or historical practice should dominate the practice of music education.
