A Case Study in Development from the Cattle Region
CONFLICT BETWEEN WHITES AND INDIANS ON THE LLANOS DEPARTMENT: A CASE STUDY IN DEVELOPMENT DE MOXOS , BENI FROM THE CATTLE REGIONS OF THE BOLIVIAN ORIENTE By JAMES C. JONES DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE COUNCIL OF A FULFILLMENT THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1980 To Ignacianos and other Peasants of the Bolivian Oriente. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many institutions and individuals, both in Bolivia and in the United States, contributed to make this study possible. Owing to the sensitivity of some of the material presented, however, the names of certain helpful Bolivians and Bolivian agencies must remain anonymous to assure their welfare. This is made especially necessary by the severe government retaliation against and repression of dissent that currently obtains in that country. Certainly the author's first debt of thanks in Bolivia goes to the Ignacianos, without whose intimate collaboration this study could not have been achieved. The story told in the pages to follow is their story in particular, but it is in a more general way also the story of all peasants of the Beni Department. Moving closer to home, the author tenders warm thanks and to Professor Wagley, chairman of his doctoral committee, Bernard, to Professors Solon Kimball, Maxine Margolis, Russell doctoral and David Bushnell for their guidance through the program and especially for their suggestions for improvement be remembered of the manuscript. Professor Wagley will always affectionately for his unstinting moral support throughout. The research reported herein was financed by three after institutions. The project was conceived and designed m a summer's preliminary reconnaissance of the Beni Department made possible by a grant from University of Florida Founda- tion Tropical South America Program.

Bolivia: Floods and Landslides
Emergency appeal MDRBO006 Bolivia: floods and GLIDE n° FL-2011-000020-BOL 08 March 2011 landslides This Emergency Appeal seeks 518,725 Swiss francs in cash, kind, or services to support the Bolivian Red Cross to assist 2,500 beneficiaries for 6 months, and will be completed by the end of August 2011. A Final report will be made available by 1 December 2011 (three months after the end of the operation). On 3 March, 78,074 Swiss francs were allocated from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support this operation. Un-earmarked funds to replenish DREF are encouraged. Around 14,000 families are affected in Bolivia, particularly in the Department of La Paz where a hillside collapsed in a densely populated area, destroying hundreds of homes. Due to the phenomenon of Source: BRC La Niña, the weather pattern in Bolivia has been disrupted, with drought in late 2010 and early 2011, and many days of intense and constant rains throughout February. These weeks of heavy rain caused floods and mudslides in 9 departments of the country affecting some 14,000 families and causing 56 deaths. Based on the situation, the government of Bolivia declared a state of emergency on 23 February. This Emergency Appeal responds to a request from the Bolivian Red Cross (BRC) and focuses on providing support to make an appropriate and timely response in delivering assistance and relief to 2,500 families (12,500 people) with food and non-food relief items, and 500 families (2,500 people) with emergency health care, water, sanitation and hygiene promotion and early recovery.

1 Introduction
SUMMARY 1Introduction (1) Background of the Study The Republic of Bolivia is a landlocked country located between 10 degrees and 23 degrees South, has an area of 1,098,581km2 (3 times as large as Japan) with a population of 8,274,225 (Census 2001), and is also known as one of the poorest countries in Latin America. Bolivia continues to promote popular participation and decentralization laws, as it maintains its policies on free economy. The Bolivian government of Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada has launched “Bolivia Plan = Action Plan (1997-2002)” with the purpose to alleviate poverty. In the medical and public health sector, it aims to reduce by half under-five mortality rate and maternal mortality rate, addressing policies on a) introduction of Basic Health Insurance, b) improvement of nutritional status, c) infectious disease control (e.g., Chagas' disease, malaria, tuberculosis). It has target health indexes for the target year 2002 concretely, that is to say, a) reduction of maternal mortality rate (50% reduction of 1997's rate of 390/100,000), b) reduction of under- five's mortality rate (50% reduction of 1997's rate of 105/1,000), c) improvement of nutritional status of under-three (50% reduction of 1997's number of 208,000 persons), d) improvement of accessibility to health unit (from 1997's rate of 34% to 85%), e) improvement of immunization status of under-five (from 1997's rate of 85% to 90%), f) reduction of infection rate of malaria (from 1997's rate of 35/1,000 to 8/1,000). Beni Department occupies 213,000km2, 20% of the nation’s total land, and has approximately 365,000 people (2001 Census) that account for the second lowest population density in the country.
