Ecohealth Research in Practice
This book is about doing innovative research to achieve sustainable and equitable change in people’s health and well-being through improved interactions with the environment. It presents experiences from the field of ecosystem approaches to health (or ecohealth research) and some insights and lessons learned. It builds on previous literature, notably Forget (1997), Forget and Lebel (2001), Lebel (2003), and Waltner-Toews et al. (2008). Through case-studies and other contributions by researchers supported by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the book presents evidence of real changes in conditions of people, their health, and the ecosystems that support them. These changes were derived from applications of an ecosystem approach to health in developing regions of the world. The book also illustrates the resulting body of applied, participatory, and action research that improved health and environmental management in developing countries and, in many cases, influenced policies and practices.
Saving the Environment in Sub-Saharan Africa
This book describes how NGOs' efforts to promote sustainable development are affected by their funding, management strategies, and relationships with government, communities, and other NGOs. The authors explore implications for theory and offer suggestions for increasing NGO effectiveness.
Building Bridges with the Grassroots
"About one billion people now live in the slums of the towns and cities of the developing world, and their number is set to double by 2030 unless concerted efforts are made to the contrary. The official target for improving the living conditions of slum-dwellers falls far short of the numbers affected. Slum residents themselves are the major actors in upgrading their living environment, and there are many good examples of decentralized upgrading, but in order to improve the lives of much larger numbers, these examples need to be scaled-up." "This book examines how this can be done successfully, by investigating ten case studies and the lessons to be derived from those. These case studies cover a range of projects or programmes in different continents and focus on several issues that affect the lives of slum-dwellers, including housing, services provision, capacity building, and income generation. Each study incorporates an aspect of scaling-up and this book considers a range of scaling-up methods, including peer training, exchange visits, information networks, and appropriate communication."--BOOK JACKET.
La Recherche Écosanté en pratique
Près de vingt ans après la Conférence des Nations Unies sur l’environnement et le développement (le Sommet de Rio), la nécessité d’atténuer la pauvreté et d’améliorer les conditions de vie grâce à un accès plus équitable aux ressources, à l’utilisation judicieuse de ces dernières et à des milieux ambiants plus sains est toujours aussi vive. Conscients que la santé humaine est intimement liée aux écosystèmes, les chercheurs tracent de nouvelles voies vers un avenir plus durable. Une approche écosystémique de la santé, alliant la recherche et la pratique dans des domaines aussi variés que la gestion de l’environnement, la santé publique, la biodiversité et l...

Enjeux de la propreté urbaine
Comment l'institution choisit-elle et organise-t-elle les dispositifs de gestion des ordures ménagères destinés à servir l'usager ? Comment ces dispositifs s'inscrivent-ils dans les espaces urbains publics et privés, en se confrontant aux habitudes des habitants ? Comment l'usager se situe-t-il par rapport aux déchets et aux dispositifs de leur gestion, en tant qu'usager et client ? C'est à ce type de questions que répond cet ouvrage, premier du genre à synthétiser les diverses approches de la propreté urbaine, à présenter le nouveau cadre juridique et les enjeux émergents de la gestion des ordures ménagères et, plus généralement, à offrir une vision transversale et pluridisciplinaire de la propreté urbaine en faisant simultanément référence aux techniques, aux politiques et aux usages. Les auteurs présentent par ailleurs cinq cas de figure étrangers, en contrepoint du contexte français. Cet ouvrage intéressera un large public de professeurs, chercheurs, ingénieurs, urbanistes et responsables en aménagement du territoire, élus et associations d'habitants.
Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon
Cameroon is a land of much promise, but a land of unfulfilled promises. It has the potential to be an economically developed and democratic society but the struggle to live up to its potential has not gone well. Since independence there have been only two presidents of Cameroon; the current one has been in office since 1982. Endowed with a variety of climates and agricultural environments, numerous minerals and substantial forests, and a dynamic population, this is a country that should be a leader of Africa. Instead, we find a country almost paralyzed by corruption and poor management, a country with a low life expectancy and serious health problems, and a country from which the most talent...
Analysing the Role of Energy Security in Promoting Third World Development
Every scholar who reads this book will concur that at the heart of John’s analysis is rooted a fundamental question and preoccupation that although Cameroon is naturally endowed with abundant and diverse energy resources, the country however remains an energy-poor state due to the absence of a durable Energy Security Plan, political vision and political will, all of which continue to hamper the development of a range of renewables alongside various fossil fuels to improve and guarantee durable Energy Security to catalyze development and reverse the current energy crisis.
