Sustainable Rural Development
This book brings together several systems-level approaches to the consideration of the interaction of livelihood choices, natural resource management and participatory action research on sustainable development. By focusing on these approaches to community change, the volume hopes to encourage readers to consider how they might adopt methods such as Sustainable Livelihoods Approach (SLA), Community Capitals Framework (CCF) and Participatory Action Research (PAR) in their own research, practice and teaching. Thus, this volume will engage readers in reflection about the importance of systems-level approaches that address poverty from the perspective of the poor, natural resource management that maintains the resource for future generations, and the engagement of local people in designing and implementing, and thus owning, strategies that address equity as well as economic security and the environment. This book was originally published as a special issue of Community Development.
Historia ambiental del Valle del Cauca
Este trabajo contempla las principales características del medio geográfico y ecológico del Valle del Cauca, así como las diversas transformaciones que éste ha tenido a causa de las acciones antrópicas relacionadas con el aprovechamiento, el dominio y la conservación del medio ambiente. Se analizan las formas culturales y los medios puestos en práctica por la sociedad vallecaucana para identificar, apropiarse y dar un manejo al territorio, con la finalidad de explotar los elementos naturales del ambiente y convertirlos en recursos. Este estudio también considera la manera como los hombres y las mujeres de esta comarca han ido construyendo territorio y territorialidad en las diversas unidades de paisaje, presentes en el Valle del Cauca.
Financing for Gender Equality
This collection of essays addresses the glaring gap between policy commitments and actual investments in gender equality, ranging across sectors and focusing on development aid, peace-building and climate funds. Casting a spotlight on the application of gender-responsive budgeting in public budgetary policies, systems and processes, the contributions to this volume explore the chequered trajectories of these efforts in Africa, the Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Andalucía. Critiquing systems of finance, from adherence to neo-liberal macroeconomic fundamentals which prioritise fiscal austerity, the book makes a compelling case for reframing and re-prioritizing budgets to comply with human rights standards, with a particular view to realizing women’s rights. The authors highlight the paltry funding for women’s rights organizations and movements and examine the prospects for making financing gender responsive. The specific policy, strategy and technical recommendations and the connections across silos which articulate the authors’ suggested operational levers will appeal to researchers, practitioners, students, policymakers, gender equality and human rights activists alike.
