An investigation into the effects of project management on a rural poverty alleviation project : the case of the Walda small scale sugar cane farming co-operativeMhlongo, Mpumelelo Cidrick January 2016 (has links)
Thesis (M. Dev.) -- University of Limpopo, 2016. / The management of projects has gained an increasing impetus amongst
researchers throughout the world in the last decade. Most of the research
projects have focused on which extent can lack of resources affect the
implementation of projects in developing countries. Little has been said about the
relationship between lack of corporate governance and the management of
projects for small scale sugar cane farmers. In this study, the researcher focused
on the effects of project management on poverty alleviation and sustainable
livelihoods. The study used a mixed method research design which equally
employed case study and descriptive approaches. From the quantitative
perspective, structured questionnaires were administered, while in the qualitative
approach semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data. Results
indicated that the success of projects aimed at poverty alleviation and
sustainable livelihoods is dependent on the successful implementation of project
management skills. The research amongst others recommend that training and
financial support be prioritised for the community projects to achieve their
intended objectives.

Previous issue date: 2008-08-21 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / In 1998 Senegal passed laws that transferred authority over the management of
forests to local communities. This dissertation studies the impact of this
decentralization on the health of the Samba Dia and Sambande forests and the
livelihoods of forest-dependent populations. I use this analysis to reflect on the
broader question of the impact of decentralization on conservation and poverty
alleviation. I employ temporal and spatial modes of comparison in this study with
qualitative research methods. Decentalization has contained forest degradation in
both areas. But while people in Samband? forest report benefits to all from the
forest, in Keur Samba Dia members of one village report benefits while others
decry a reduction in their benefits from the forest. I argue that the transfer of
authority from a largely absent and incapable state to well-organized and
knowledgeable local communities account for the containment of environmental
degradation in both forests. But while the uniform use of the forest by community
members has helped people in Samband? solve distributive conflicts and so
universally benefit from the forest, a significant divergence in how the two villages
in Keur Samba Dia exploit the forest has worsened distributive conflicts allowing
the more powerful people of Yayem to benefit more but exclude the less powerful
people of Samba Diallo from these new benefits. The impact of decentralization on
poverty alleviation and forest health is mediated by important local factors and we
should not expect it to have good effects in all areas in which it is pursued. / A descentraliza??o florestal no Senegal constitui o tema desta pesquisa. Em 1998, o
Senegal promoveu novas leis florestais que transferiam as compet?ncias de gest?o
das florestas para as comunidades rurais, para frear a pobreza e a degrada??o
ambiental. Neste contexto, a tese investiga os impactos destas reformas nas vidas
das popula??es e nas florestas. A tese tentou lidar com as duas perguntas, se ap?s a
descentraliza??o: - as popula??es locais seriam capazes de manejar efetivemente as
florestas e o manejo florestal comunit?rio participaria na redu??o da pobreza
rural. Fiz um estudo com varia??o espacial e temporal, comparando duas florestas:
Keur Samba Dia e Samband? durante dois per?odos diferentes: antes e ap?s a
descentraliza??o. Antes de 1998, a gest?o das duas florestas estava sob a
responsabilidade do Servi?o Florestal Nacional. Depois de 1998, as comunidades
rurais se tornaram as novas autoridades na floresta Samband? enquanto que a
floresta Keur Samba Dia permaneceu sob um sistema de co-manejo entre as
comunidades rurais e o Estado. A pesquisa deparou com o fato de que, em ambas
as florestas, os impactos ecol?gicos da descentraliza??o foram positivos, pois
houve uma regenera??o florestal. Todavia, os impactos econ?micos resultantes da
descentraliza??o, foram diferentes de uma floresta para outra. Na floresta de
Samband?, todos os vilarejos foram beneficiados pela descentraliza??o, enquanto
que na floresta de Keur Samba Dia, um vilarejo se sentiu mais prejudicado do que
o outro. Estes resultados nos informam, que a participa??o popular foi ben?fica ?
sa?de das florestas, mas n?o foi suficiente para que as popula??es se aproveitassem
economicamente de uma floresta regenerada. A distribui??o eq?itativa, dos
benef?cios econ?micos da descentraliza??o, ? mediada pela uniformidade ou formas
conflituosos do uso florestal e por fatores s?cio - hist?ricos.
