  • SWAZILAND 597 © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © (Hello) 268 %
    © Lonely Planet Publications 597 S w a z i l a n d Embedded between Mozambique and South Africa, the kingdom of Swaziland is one of the smallest countries in Africa. What the country lacks in size it makes up for in its rich culture and heritage, and relaxed ambience. With its laid-back, friendly people and relative lack of racial animosity, it’s a complete change of pace from its larger neighbours. SWAZILAND Visitors can enjoy rewarding and delightfully low-key wildlife watching, adrenaline-boost- ing activities, stunning mountain panoramas and lively traditions. Swaziland also boasts superb walking and high-quality handicrafts. Overseeing the kingdom is King Mswati III, one of three remaining monarchs in Africa. The monarchy has its critics, but combined with the Swazis’ distinguished history of resistance to the Boers, the British and the Zulus, it has fostered a strong sense of national pride, and local culture is flourishing. This is exemplified in its national festivals – the Incwala ceremony and the Umhlanga (Reed) dance (see the boxed text, p607 ). The excellent road system makes Swaziland easy to get around. Accommodation includes a decent network of hostels, family-friendly hotels and upscale retreats. Many travellers make a flying visit on their way to South Africa’s Kruger National Park, but it’s well worth lingering here if you can.

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.
