The transfer of technology to the rural poor : the case of Qamata irrigation scheme in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa.Kodua-Agyekum, Collins. January 2009 (has links)
Poverty, unemployment, inequality and food insecurity are common facts of
life in rural communities in the former homelands of the Eastern Cape
Province of South Africa despite decades of massive infusion of irrigation
technology and resources into the rural economies. These problems are
mostly the corollary of public policies enacted and executed over the years
under colonial and apartheid regimes. Even the establishment of
developmental local government and the introduction of various forms of
integrated and sustainable rural development policies and programmes under
the current democratic political dispensation, which began in 1994, have not
brought much relief to the rural areas. Development policies and programmes
have not been successful at increasing the coping strategies of the majority of
the rural poor as they continue to remain outside the mainstream of
development action.
The persistence of socio-economic problems elicits questions regarding the
appropriateness of development policies with respect to the transfer of
irrigation technology to the rural poor. This study critically investigates the
social and economic effects of Qamata Irrigation Scheme (QIS) on the living
conditions and coping strategies of the farmers at Qamata. The outcome of
the investigation is used as the context to analyse the effectiveness and
appropriateness of the irrigation development and management policies in the
transfer of irrigation technology to the farmers. The choice of QIS was
occasioned by its position as the first state financed large-scale irrigation
scheme in the late 1960s in the former Transkei which was the poorest and
most populous Bantustan; Qamata was one of the poorest rural communities
in the territory. Besides, QIS is one of the largest irrigation schemes in the
Eastern Cape which has attracted a considerable amount of resources and
public attention. It was therefore thought that the study of QIS could generate
the relevant data required to evaluate the appropriateness of irrigation
schemes in rural development in the province. The roles and expectations of development functionaries with reference to development policies, programmes, practices and achievements, and the living conditions, needs, aspirations and perceptions of beneficiaries were critically examined. Because rural development is a multi-faceted concept, the approach of the study was eclectic. The data which ensued was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively with chi-square test and independent samples t-test to arrive at forthright and compelling conclusions.
The study revealed that rural development at Qamata is fraught with political,
institutional and organizational problems. As a result, the Qamata Irrigation
Scheme could not bring about the expected socio-economic development in
the surrounding rural communities. Suggestions are offered on the basis of
the research findings for meaningful rural development. The participation of
local communities, especially women who bear the brunt of rural poverty and
food crop production, in development policy formulation and the participation
of the youth in irrigation farming are seen as essential prerequisites for goal
oriented rural and agricultural development intervention programmes. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2009.

The media as watchdog in the commercialisation of science : a case study of 6 publicationsValentine, Alexander J. (Alexander Joseph) 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The role of the media as a watchdog for the social institution of science is viewed as part of the media’s role to protect society. In this regard, the role of media was studied in reporting the phenomenon of the commercialisation of academic research at universities. The current study was conducted by analysing articles in 2 scientific journals (Science and Nature) and 4 printed newspapers (The New York Times, London Times, Mail & Gaurdian, Business Day) for the year 2003. The methods of investigation for each publication included the number of articles covering the topic, the percentage coverage, headline analysis, summary of contents and analysis of the themes. The New York Times had more articles on the topic of the “commercialisation of science at universities” than the other publications. However, based on the number of issues per year, Science and Nature had a greater coverage of the topic than The New York Times. Based on the analyses of the articles, it is concluded that The New York Times had the most balanced and informed coverage of all the issues and stakeholders involved in the commercialisation of science at universities. This is attributed to the The New York Times’s position of standing outside the realm of science and its experience in covering broad issues. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die rol van die media as ‘n waghond vir die sosiale instelling van die wetenskap, word gesien as deel van die media se rol as die beskermer van die samelewing. In hierdie opsig is die media se rol in die verslaglewering van die kommersialisering van die wetenskap by universiteite ondersoek. Hierdie studie is uitgevoer deur artikels in 2 wetenskaplike vaktydskrifte (Science en Nature) en 4 koerante (The New York Times, London Times, Mail & Guardian, Business Day) vir die jaar 2003, te analiseer. Die metodes wat gebruik is om elke artikel te ontleed, het die aantal artikels, die persentasie van artikels in elke publikasie, hoofopskrif analise, opsomming van inhoud en ‘n analise van die artikel se tema, ingesluit. The New York Times het meer artikels omtrent die onderwerp, die “kommersialisering van die wetenskap by universiteite”, as die ander publikasies gehad. Gebaseer op die aantal uitgawes per jaar, het Science en Nature meer aandag geskenk aan die onderwerp as The New York Times. Volgens die analises van die artikels, word afgeleui dat The New York Times die mees gebalanseerde en ingeligte dekking gehad het oor die betrokke sake en partye in die “kommersialisering van die wetenskap by universiteite”. Dit word toegeskryf aan die The New York Times se posisie as buitestaander in die wetenskap en die koerant se ondervinding om ‘n wye veld te dek.
