    THE RISE, CONSOLIDATION AND DISINTEGRATION OF DLAMINI POWER IN SWAZILAND BETWEEN 1820 AND 1889. A study in the relationship of foreign affairs to internal political development.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The Swazi kingdom grew out of the pressures associated with competition for trade and for the rich resources of Shiselweni. While centred on this area it acquired some of its characteristic features - notably a regimental system, and the dominance of a Dlamini aristocracy. Around 1815 the Swazi came under pressure from the South, and were forced to colonise the land lying north of the Lusutfu. Here they remained for some years a nation under arms, as they plundered local peoples, and were themselves swept about by the currents of the Mfecane. In time a more settled administration emerged, as the aristocracy spread out from the royal centres at Ezulwini, and this process accelerated under Mswati as he subdued recalcitrant chiefdoms, and restructured the regiments.

  • SWAZILAND: Poverty ASSESSMENT by the POOR
    38011 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized SWAZILAND: POvERTY ASSESSMENT BY THE POOR SUMMARY OF FINDINGS MAIN REPORT ON Public Disclosure Authorized PARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENT Public Disclosure Authorized AUGUST, 1997 SWAZILAND: POVERTY ASSESSMENT BY THE POOR SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AUGUST, 1997 I CONTENTS Participatory Poverty Assessment 1 Who are the Poor? 2 What are the Causes and Problems of Poverty? 2 How do the Poor Cope? 4 What Makes Women Especially Vulnerable? 6 What Measures are Proposed by the Poor for Poverty Alleviation? 8 I PARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENT Under the auspices and overall supervision of Swaziland's Ministry of Economic Planning and Development, and with support from the World Bank, a Participatory Poverty Assessment (PPA) was carried out in mid 1995 by research teams from the University of Swaziland. The purpose of the PPA was to complement the National Household Income and Expenditure Survey carried out by the Central Statistical Office by providing qualitative information, from the perspectives of the poor themselves, concerning: * the nature of poverty, vulnerability and wellbeing; * changes over time which have affected people's wellbeing; * how people cope with poverty and vulnerability; * the constraints and opportunities for improving wellbeing. The assessment is described as "participatory" because it involved direct participation by the poor in analysing their own conditions. In each of 63 selected communities throughout Swaziland, discussions were held in large and small focus groups, followed by conversational interviews with individual households. Instead of using structured questionnaires, researchers used an interview guide to conduct semi-structured, conversational interviews. Research teams were assigned to each of the four agro-ecological regions of Swaziland-- Highveld, Middleveld, Lowveld and Lubombo- and to selected peri-urban sites.
