There is, however, one example of donor collaboration that is still going strong after about 15 years — the Committee of Donor Agencies for Small Enterprise Development. Initiated by the World Bank in 1979, this committee now includes 17 bilat- eral agencies, 15 multilateral institutions, and 2 other interna- tional development organizations. As befits a group focused on small enterprise, it is infor- mal, with no legal status. But the committee seems to serve a need, as donor representatives keep coming back. The com- mittee’s objective is to promote small enterprise in developing countries by • exchanging information on the programs of partici- pating agencies; • sharing experiences and lessons learned in project implementation; and • coordinating efforts in this field. The committee has been particularly active in the first two areas. There have been regular annual meetings, nine con- ferences have been organized, and the Journal of Small Enter- prise Development was launched in 1990. Attempts at better coordination at the country level are somewhat more problem- atic because they depend a lot on the initiative of individual field officers. But, as one of our members said at the close of the most recent conference, one of the principal ways in which donors can serve as a catalyst in small-enterprise promotion is through the transmission of ideas. In this respect, the commit- tee has undoubtedly been a success. Our second conference was held in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, in 1983, and had a regional focus on Africa. After vari- ous, more thematic conferences, we again turned our attention to this troubled continent when we met in The Hague in 1991. This meeting was seen as an exploratory step on the way to a viii larger conference to be held, once again, in Africa in 1993. In each case, the emphasis was on the policy environment because of its crucial importance and past neglect. The best papers from the conference in The Hague were published in Small Enter- prise and Changing Policies: Structural Adjustment, Financial Policy and Assistance Programmes in Africa, edited by Helm- sing and Kolstee (1993). That conference was especially notable for involving a large number of African speakers. As Helmsing and Kolstee (1993, p. 6) emphasize, “it has become painfully clear that there can be no major progress in tackling Africa’s development dilemmas without strong and clear participation by African policymakers, practitioners and researchers.” Encouraged by its success in The Hague in 1991, the Committee chose to extend this approach in Abidjan in 1993 by moving the conference back to Africa and by further limiting the role and number of non- Africans. At least two other modifications were adopted for 1993. First, it was agreed that there should be a greater diversity of participants. Whereas the conference in The Hague in 1991 was dominated by researchers, this one would have a greater share of speakers and listeners from governments, banks, nongovern- mental organizations, and private enterprise itself. In this way, it would be firmly anchored in the reality of current experience and, hopefully, would also include some genuine agents of change. Another significant modification adopted for 1993 was a change in focus — away from the definition of appropriate pol- icy and toward the process of designing and implementing such policy. It was felt that at least the basic principles were fairly well understood, but somehow they were not finding their way into policy reform. The conference proposed to explore the ways in which some countries manage to galvanize the necessary political will and what obstacles continue to block the path for others. The conference was a truly collaborative effort. Its agenda and objectives were initially discussed in the commit- tee’s annual meeting in 1992. A subcommittee was formed, and it met again in March 1993. From then, the Canadian Inter- national Development Agency (CIDA) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) took the lead, with the assistance of Georges Hénault and other members of the ix subcommittee. Eighteen donors contributed to the financing and helped in almost as many different ways. The list of invited delegates was put together through a collaborative process. Even the title was chosen by committee (and it probably shows it). Yet, somehow it all came together in Abidjan in late November 1993. Some late arrivals were moved to other hotels because another conference got some of our rooms. And there was a danger that the whole country would be closed down with the imminent death of its long-standing president, Félix Houphouet-Boigny. But at the close of the conference, everyone seemed to agree that it had met its objectives. Perhaps policy and program design dominated the dis- cussion, more so than process, but it became clear that many of the basic principles of policy and program design are still being debated by practitioners. Problems tended to figure more promi- nently than success stories, but this is part of the challenge

  • Negotiating Caring Practices Among Internal Migrant Women In
    NEGOTIATING CARING PRACTICES AMONG INTERNAL MIGRANT WOMEN IN ACCRA-GHANA BY NANA HAWAWU ALHASSAN A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in International Development Studies. (December, 2015), Halifax, Nova Scotia Copyright (Nana Hawawu Alhassan, 2015) Approved: Dr. Evangelia Tastsoglou (Supervisor) Approved: Dr. Alexandra Dobrowolsky (Examiner) Approved: Dr. Madine VanderPlaat (Reader) Date: 22nd December, 2015 1 Negotiating Caring Practices among Internal Migrant Women in Accra-Ghana By Nana Hawawu Alhassan Date: 22nd December, 2015 Abstract This thesis focuses on the negotiation of care provision, changes in caring practices post-migration and the impact of women`s internal, North-South migration on gender and family relations and communities of origin in Ghana. Ten in-depth interviews with migrant women revealed that women have become frontrunners in the migration process, engaging in different modalities of care where they negotiate with spouses and other family members for the care of their left behind families. The story of negotiating caring practices shows that women’s migration changes gender and family roles to an extent, while, at the same time it reproduces them. There are financial, material and emotional consequences of migration on migrant women and their families as well as their communities of origin. Directions for future research should include the impacts of care-giving on left behind families from their own experiences, and the reconstruction of masculinities from men`s perspectives. 2 DEDICATION To my late father, Issah Alhassan and my mother, Alimatu Alhassan 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr.

I would first like to give glory to God and my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, without whom I would not have had the strength to persevere through the rough times. Special appreciation goes to my parents. My entire college education would have been impossible without their love and support. Watching their hard work and dedication throughout my life has encouraged me to strive for my best in all that I do. I would also like to thank the chair of my committee, Dr. M.J. Hardman, who inspired the idea for this thesis and has guided me through the process of completing it. Her ideas and encouragement have kept me going throughout this process. The members of my committee have all generously given of their time to improve the quality of this thesis, each adding a unique viewpoint and area of specialization. Dr. Jean Casagrande has been with this project from the beginning, constantly encouraging me to keep going and keeping me from taking on more than I could handle. Dr. Fiona McLaughlin is the newest member of my supervisory committee, but her expertise in West African studies has been invaluable in directing my research. Further recognition is due to the members of the Guinea Branch of Pioneer Bible Translators.

  • Processes of the Translation of the Universal Declaration of Human
    PROCESSES OF THE TRANSLATION OF THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS Recipient Language for the Translation: Tem, mainly spoken in the central region of Togo, in some parts of Ghana and Benin. ISO 639-3 language code: KDH Venue used for the translation: Globalbility office in Lomé, Togo, nearby the University of Lomé. Period used for the translation: April 11, 2016 up to December 31, 2016 Period for the proofreading: January 1, 2017 up to April 31, 2017 Translated document: Universal Declaration of Human Rights INTRODUCTION The translation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has not been an easy task but with the determination of Globalbility Togo members and the support we got, the translation was finalized. The project of translating the document has started on April 11, 2016 and it took nine months for Tem members in Globalbility Togo to finish the translation. The work was shaped as follows: TRANSLATORS Tem native speakers of Globalbility have been the translators of the Human Right Declaration in Tem. They are about 50 to translate the document (but all were not coming at the same time to the meetings). They have been assisted by the native speakers of languages like Akebu, Ncam, Akaselem, Ewe, Kusuntu, Fulfulde, Kabiyè, Ajagbe. Some of them have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights translated into their native languages already while native speakers of other languages (Ncam, Kusuntu, Fulfulde, etc) can speak Tem in addition to their languages. PRESENTATIONS ON THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS Before and during the process of the translation, there had been a series of presentations on the Human Right Declaration and how to do a good translation: ● Sophia Leenay from USA participated in the meetings of Globalbility Togo from April 30, to May 25, 2016 and she had presented on the History of Human Rights and the introduction to theory of translation by focusing on a created guide and an evaluation grid to facilitate translation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

  • Niger-Congo “Noun Classes” Conflate Gender with Deriflection
    Chapter 5 Niger-Congo “noun classes” conflate gender with deriflection Tom Güldemann Humboldt University Berlin and Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History Ines Fiedler Humboldt University Berlin This paper reviews the treatment of gender systems in Niger-Congo languages. Our discussion is based on a consistent methodological approach, to be presented in §1, which employs four analytical concepts, namely agreement class, gender, nominal form class, and deriflection and which, as we argue, are applicable within Niger- Congo and beyond. Due to the strong bias toward the reconstruction of Bantu and wider Benue-Congo, Niger-Congo gender systems tend to be analyzed by means of a philologically biased and partly inadequate approach that is outlined in §2. This framework assumes in particular a consistent alliterative one-to-one mapping of agreement and nominal form classes conflated under the philological concept of “noun class”. One result of this is that gender systems are recurrently deduced merely from the number-mapping of nominal form classes in the nominal deri- flection system rather than from the agreement behavior of noun lexemes. We show, however, that gender and deriflection systems are in principle different, il- lustrating this in §3 with data from such Niger-Congo subgroups as Potou-Akanic and Ghana-Togo-Mountain. Our conclusions given in §4 are not only relevant for the historical-comparative and typological assessment of Niger-Congo systems but also for the general approach to grammatical gender. Keywords: gender, Niger-Congo languages, agreement, noun classes, deriflection. Tom Güldemann & Ines Fiedler. 2019. Niger-Congo “noun classes” conflate gender with deriflection.
