Coordination of NGOs at District Level in Nampula Province, Northern MozambiqueAli, Armando January 2013 (has links)
The present study seeks to increase understanding about organizational, structural and contextual factors that affect and explain the coordination of NGOs in Nampula province. The focus of the analysis is the ongoing experience of coordination among NGOs at provincial level through the Provincial Civil Society Platform (PCSP) and the possibilities of improvement of this coordination at district level. Civil society organizations in Nampula province, especially NGOs implementing socioeconomic and civic projects, are trying since 2006 to establish a coordination mechanism of civil society intervention in the province. In 2009 they formally established a Provincial Civil Society Platform (PCSP) as a meeting point, in the provincial capital, where civil society organizations meet to coordinate their interventions and to exchange information. In this platform, organizations working or interested in a specific thematic sector meet together to discuss specific problems or to strategise towards a common objective. Despite years of building up this structure and the expressed willingness to be more effective and coordinated at all levels, this platform did not resulted yet in joint or coordinated interventions at district level that could increase the possibilities of development of citizens in remote areas. This is a qualitative study, undertaken in Nampula province using the experience of NGOs members of the agriculture and natural resources sector in Ribáuè district. The analytical framework is based on the Sustainable Rural Livelihood approach. Farmers, extension workers and representatives of private sector in Ribáuè and Nampula were interviewed to have their perception about people’s livelihoods and interactions among service providers. Representatives of NGOs and governmental entities were interviewed to get their understanding about opportunities and obstacles for coordination of NGOs at district level. The study concludes that coordination of NGOs can be improved by information sharing and service exchange. However, different from previous understanding that it is the local government that shapes the coordination of civil society, this study concludes that coordination of NGOs is dependent in the relation that they will establish with their donors. NGOs should reflect upon the role of donor and position themselves in order to achieve a path of coordination that can contribute for sustainable development at local level.

Globalization, Cotton and Poverty South of the SaharaSneyd, Adam January 2009 (has links)
<p> This study details the historic relationships between cotton and poverty in Africa south of the Sahara. It assesses the impacts that nongovernmental policy advocacy and corporate social responsibility have had on the factors that impoverish Africa's cotton producers. The new nongovernmental and corporate interest in the conditions of life on Africa's cotton farms has increased the likelihood that rising numbers of families that depend on cotton will endure fewer impoverishing relationships. Even so, there is little to suggest that the linkages between cotton and poverty will be eradicated in the present era of globalization should present trends hold. Nongovernmental advocates have contributed to narrowing the debate on Africa's cotton problem at the World Trade Organization even as they have successfully encouraged multilateral, bilateral and nongovernmental donors to scale up their efforts in this issue area. Similarly, many corporate social responsibility initiatives have targeted only certain aspects of poverty and have embraced light-touch approaches to 'doing' responsibility. That said, evidence from Tanzania indicates that a certified organic cotton production operation there has established a parallel governance structure that has effectively reduced poverty and empowered agriculturalists.</p> <p> The international political economy approach developed below adds value to the available literature on African cotton. It treats poverty as a multidimensional phenomenon and embraces a non-economistic treatment of globalization to produce a broader understanding ofpoverty and the factors that are maintaining or alleviating aspects of it in the contemporary world economy. The way of knowing about cotton and poverty presented here is inductive and also historicist, and relies upon field research and case studies. This contribution adds a comprehensive global level of analysis to the literature on Africa's cotton problem, and also prescribes possible policy options that could be relevant in Tanzania and elsewhere.</p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Brazil and India - Exploring Motivations of 'New' Humanitarian DonorsSeel, Naomi January 2015 (has links)
This study explores motivations of two ‘new’ humanitarian donors, Brazil and India, byanalysing debates from two of the agents in each country involved in the processesregarding humanitarian assistance - the Brazilian Federal Senate and the BrazilianMinistry of Foreign Affairs, as well as the Indian Ministry of External Affairs andCouncil of States - by means of a thematic analysis. This resulted in the identification ofmotivating factors for humanitarian spending in the form of themes. For Brazil thethemes Priority, Humanitarianism, Regional Solidarity and International Integrationcould be identified. For India the themes identified were: Security Interests,Humanitarianism, Good Neighbour, Competence and Preparedness.By comparing the findings of this study with the ‘Seven Frames relevant to Foreign AidPolicy’ of Western donors established by van der Veen, it could be concluded that newdonors and Western donors share similar interests in the areas of power, security,international reputation and humanitarianism, which guide them as motivating factors indecisions regarding humanitarian assistance. Nonetheless, there are also differences forexample with regards to economic interests and issues of obligation, which are presentfor Western donors, but could not be identified in motivations of the new donors Braziland India. The study concludes that the framework established by van der Veen forWestern donors is not sufficient to explain motivations of new donors in the area ofhumanitarian assistance. Instead, a new framework is necessary to explore the differingapproaches and motivations of both Western and new donors in their complexity.
