    CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY AT SILSOE James Webster Culture’s Influence Towards Understanding Stakeholder Interactions in Rural Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion Projects Institute of Water and Environment PhD Thesis CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY AT SILSOE Institute of Water and Environment PhD Thesis Academic Year 2005/6 James Webster Culture’s Influence Towards Understanding Stakeholder Interactions in Rural Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion Projects Supervisor: Professor Richard Carter August 2006 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Cranfield University ABSTRACT Variations frequently occur between the intended and actual outcomes of rural water, sanitation and hygiene promotion projects, even projects that exhibit best practice. As a result, the intended impact of poverty reduction through sustained health improvements is diminished. This thesis establishes that inadequate consideration of culture in interactions between and within project stakeholders is a major reason for these unintended project outcomes. Aspects of individual and group behaviour that are influenced by culture are examined, and an initial conceptual framework of established cultural dimensions developed. This framework is then applied to a broad variety of stakeholder groups: seven end user groups and two implementing agencies in Ethiopia and Uganda; national Governments and international donor organisations. As a result, two new cultural dimensions are proposed. Firstly, concern for public self- image, defined as ‘the degree to which an individual expresses interest in how others perceive him/herself, and the manner in which the individual seeks to influence that perception’. Secondly, spirituality, defined as ‘the nature and degree of people’s beliefs and practices concerning the existence, nature, and worship of, and connectedness to God, a god, gods, or a greater spiritual whole, and involvement of the divine or greater spirit in the universe and human life’.

  • SOMALIA - May 2011
    Minority Rights Group International (MRG) - individual UPR submission - SOMALIA - May 2011 1. Introductory executive summary 1.1 The situation and struggle for minority rights in Somalia must be considered in the context of Somalia in the last 20 years of state collapse, civil war and resulting humanitarian disaster. Immense violations of basic human rights have affected all Somalis, majorities (Darod, Hawiye, Dir and Rahanweyn) and minorities alike (Bantu, Gaboye, Madhiban, Musse Deriyo, Tumal, Yibro, Benadiri, Barawani, Bajuni, Boni, Ashraf and Shekhal). However, majority groups benefit from a traditional clan structure that has afforded them protection and privilege not available to minorities, who, regardless of the conflict, continue to suffer marginalization and exclusion from mainstream economic, social and political life, thanks to a legacy of slavery, customary segregation, dispossession and displacement. Somalia’s minorities are diverse and not framed simply by elements of ethnic, religious or linguistic differentiation. Their diversity also rests on social and historical distinctions between minorities and the pastoralist majorities. 1.2 Civil war, and later an Islamist insurgency against a weak transitional government in south-central Somalia, have forced thousands of minorities from their homes and lands, both to other parts of Somalia and abroad. Minorities have been targeted due to lack of protection as well as, in some cases, for their religious or other traditional beliefs and practices. Through field research results, MRG has found that minority women, in particular, suffer egregious abuse in the context of displacement. In 2009, MRG’s researchers, visiting internally displaced person (IDP) camps in semi-autonomous Puntland in northeastern Somalia, were told of a disturbing and persistent pattern of rape of minority women, perpetrated by majority men and sometimes by members of the Puntland police, army or security service.

  • The Role of Indigenous Languages in Southern Sudan: Educational Language Policy and Planning
    The Role of Indigenous Languages in Southern Sudan: Educational Language Policy and Planning H. Wani Rondyang A thesis submitted to the Institute of Education, University of London, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2007 Abstract This thesis aims to questions the language policy of Sudan's central government since independence in 1956. An investigation of the root causes of educational problems, which are seemingly linked to the current language policy, is examined throughout the thesis from Chapter 1 through 9. In specific terms, Chapter 1 foregrounds the discussion of the methods and methodology for this research purposely because the study is based, among other things, on the analysis of historical documents pertaining to events and processes of sociolinguistic significance for this study. The factors and sociolinguistic conditions behind the central government's Arabicisation policy which discourages multilingual development, relate the historical analysis in Chapter 3 to the actual language situation in the country described in Chapter 4. However, both chapters are viewed in the context of theoretical understanding of language situation within multilingualism in Chapter 2. The thesis argues that an accommodating language policy would accord a role for the indigenous Sudanese languages. By extension, it would encourage the development and promotion of those languages and cultures in an essentially linguistically and culturally diverse and multilingual country. Recommendations for such an alternative educational language policy are based on the historical and sociolinguistic findings in chapters 3 and 4 as well as in the subsequent discussions on language policy and planning proper in Chapters 5, where theoretical frameworks for examining such issues are explained, and Chapters 6 through 8, where Sudan's post-independence language policy is discussed.

  • Ethiopia: Constitutional Protection of Ethnic Minorities at the Regional Level
    Afrika Focus, Vol. 20, Nr. 1-2, 2007, pp. 105-151 ETHIOPIA: CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTION OF ETHNIC MINORITIES AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL Christophe Van der Beken Ghent University Faculty ofLaw, Department Public Law Universiteitstraat 4 9000 Gent Belgium e-mail: Christophe. [email protected] SUMMARY Ethiopia: Constitutional Protection ofEthnic Minorities at the Regional Level It is argued that in order to evaluate the capacity of the Ethiopian federal structure to accommodate ethnic diversity and to regulate ethnic conflicts, the research cannot be limited to an analysis of the constitutional mechanisms at the federal level. One of the crucial features of the Ethiopian federal structure is that it provides its nine regions with the power to enact their internal constitutions. This implies that each and every region has the power to develop its own internal state structure, within a minimum federal framework. From here it follows that the federal structure to have the potential to lay the foundations for a viable Ethiopian state, it is essential that not only the federal but also the regional constitutional mechanisms have the capacity to realize unity in diversity. As is explained in this article, not a single Ethiopian region is ethnically homogeneous. The ethnic 105 Downloaded from Brill.com09/24/2021 03:57:47AM via free access diversity which characterizes the federal level is therefore also present at the regional level. Therefore, when evaluating the capacity of the Ethiopian state structure to accomplish unity in diversity one also has to include an analysis of the regional mechanisms. The latter analysis is the core objective of this article.

  • Comment on Melbaa Gada, Author of “Oromia, an Introduction to the History of the Oromoo People”
    1 Comment on Melbaa Gada, Author of “Oromia, an Introduction to the History of the Oromoo People”. (by Tefera Dinberu) This comment is in regards to Melbaa Gadaa’s book on Oromia that was published in Minnesota in 1988 on the history of the Oromoo people. The objective of my comment is to help Melbaa and other thinkers like him see history with all its vices and virtues and intellectually project the destiny of Oromoo people in the future in relation to the rest of Ethiopians and what we can contribute for justice to prevail for the well-being of all peoples in that part of Africa. The book is his second edition. The author has gathered information from many different sources – oral, his own experience or observation, professional/historical sources, and non-history sources. Melbaa relied more on some foreign sources and seems to have refrained from referring to domestic sources that he must have been familiar with. Any ways, I will try to dwell on the general scheme of his book as a whole by specifying some major points entertained in the book as follows:- Regarding the source of Oromoo people, Huntingford says, “It is clear that the first African homeland of the Galla was what is now British Somaliland and northwestern Somalia, to which their own traditions bring them … It was the Somali settlement that drove the Galla to the west and south west” (Huntingford 19). Melbaa used this book as a reference; however, he did not mention this point. He holds that Ethiopian governments used to believe that Oromoo people were foreigners who migrated to this country.
