The document discusses factors that affect recovery after natural disasters, using examples from Aceh, Indonesia after the 2004 tsunami. It finds that: 1) Massive aid can help rebuild physical capital like housing quickly but also introduces outside influences that change village life. 2) Aid was largely uncoordinated, with many NGOs competing and little oversight, affecting recovery trajectories across villages. 3) The type of aid agency, whether it was also the donor or just an implementer, affected the quality and sustainability of rebuilding efforts and level of community participation. 4) Introducing elections for village heads after the disaster shifted power from elites and was correlated with less community volunteerism in rebuilding

Mind the Gap is a collation of pictures that depict the lived realities of the marginalised masses residing in informal settlements in and around Bangalore city. Camouflaged within the urban sprawl, that is Bangalore are scores of these settlements... This photo book; conceptualised as a non-academic exercise sheds light on these unsung masses who provide invaluable services to the city at no reward or recognition. It is a compilation of thought-provoking and emotional moments captured during our visits and qualitative field exercises in these areas. We hope, this books has; in its entirety, been able to explain the happiness and hardships, plights and pleasures, joys and sorrows of these Bangaloreans.

High coordination costs are often identified as the reason for the low quality of public goods available to the poor. We report findings from a unique combination of a village-randomized controlled trial and a lab-in-the-field experiment. An in-depth survey of 1,600 women before and after an intervention establishing membership-based organizations in one of the poorest districts in India shows that the presence of these groups increased villagers’ capacity to address water delivery problems, and improved access to, and quality of, water service. Public goods games with over 200 participants in a subset of control and treatment villages show that the presence of village groups increased cooperation among both members and non-members in treated villages. We find little evidence that cooperation is facilitated by more common tastes among group members. These results suggest that, in contrast to traditional community development programs, membership groups can help poor communities build social capital.

In this paper we deal with the relationship between external donors and village organizations (VOs) in Western Sub-Saharan Africa. We utilize a large dataset of village organizations in rural areas of Senegal and Burkina Faso. We argue that the kind of relationship established with northern donors may have effects on the governance mechanisms of the village organization. We investigate to what extent differences in the foundation of the VO and of the partnership with the external donor can partially explain outcomes and membership structures of the VO itself. Our results go in the direction of possible diverging effects of a donor intervention in the village organization, according to the degree of proactivity and initiative that the VO displays.

The majority of the world’s population now live in urban centres, which will also absorb virtually all population growth in the next century. Urbanisation involves major shifts in the ways people work and live, and offers unprecedented opportunities for improved standards of living, higher life expectancy and higher literacy levels, as well as better environmental sustainability and a more efficient use of increasingly scarce natural resources. For women, urbanisation is associated with greater access to employment opportunities, lower fertility levels and increased independence. However, urbanisation does not necessarily result in a more equitable distribution of wealth and wellbeing. In many low and middle income nations, urban poverty is growing compared to rural poverty. Specific aspects differentiate urban poverty from rural poverty. While urban residents are more dependent on cash incomes to meet their essential needs, income poverty is compounded by inadequate and expensive accommodation, limited access to basic infrastructure and services, exposure to environmental hazards and high rates of crime and violence. This gives urban poverty a distinctive gendered dimension as it puts a disproportionate burden on those members of communities and households who are responsible for unpaid carework such as cleaning, cooking and looking after children, the sick and the elderly. At the same time, cash- based urban economies mean that poor women are compelled, often from a very young age, to also engage in paid activities. In many instances this involves work in the lowest-paid formal and informal sector activities which, at times of economic crises, require increasingly long hours for the same income. Combined with cuts in the public provision of services, higher costs for food, water and transport, efforts to balance paid work and unpaid carework take a growing toll on women. A gendered perspective of urban poverty reveals the significance of non-income dimensions such as time poverty. It also highlights fundamental issues of equality and social justice by showing how women’s unequal position in the urban labour market, their limited ability to secure assets independently from male relatives and their greater exposure to violence.

Local political leaders have been crucial in efforts to move communities toward a solutions-focused homelessness system. In doing so, they have convinced other local opinion leaders to make ending homelessness a top priority. Speakers will facilitate a robust discussion around why it’s important to get political leaders involved in the fight to end homelessness locally, how to do so, and the benefits for the community.

In 2005 Sattherthwaite and D’Cruz made the bold assertion that ‘Perhaps the most significant initiative today in urban areas of Africa and Asia in addressing poverty… is the work of organizations and federations formed and run by the urban poor or homeless’. With growing numbers of NGOs in urban areas, as well as pressure on governments to increase citizen involvement in decision-making, large-scale Organisations of the Urban Poor (OUPs) are becoming recognised as potentially important civil society actors in urban decision-making and implementation. Urban poor federations such as Slum Dwellers International (SDI) have spread rapidly through the developing world, while at the same time NGOs have begun supporting umbrella groups as longer-term representatives of the urban poor. In Kisumu (one of the fastest growing cities in Kenya and focus of the 2007 post-election violence), both SDI and NGO supported groups are operating in several wards of the city, attempting to perform similar functions of representation and coordination in the community. However, there are differences both in their supporting organisations, and in the way the groups themselves are structured and function internally. For example, while NGO supported groups may be seen as less antagonistic, and therefore perhaps better able to connect to local state actors, they may also be more constrained by the same overarching structures of donor aid and financing that has been found to limit the NGOs which support them. So how representative are they? Do they increase solidarity? And how do they influence, or are they influenced by external actors? This paper presents early findings from research into the Horizontal and Vertical Social Capital of SDI and NGO supported umbrella groups in Kisumu in order to understand how effective these groups are in their intended role as bridges between external partners and the community.

Week 3 Social vulnerability to disaster: myth of community, gender, and ethnicity Last week what did we discuss? The theories about disasters The dominant paradigm and criticisms of it The alternative model: political ecology PAR model This week we will discuss Disaster justice Social vulnerability to disasters: Myth of community Causes of differences in social vulnerability: Gender Race/ethnicity Others Culture and vulnerability Disaster justice Linkages to Environmental Justice Hillman (2006, 695) explains that “environment justice as a political movement and research programme originated amidst concerns over the unjust distribution of environmental hazards primarily in, or close to, disadvantaged or marginalised communities.” Most scholars trace the origin of the environmental justice movement to a protest in 1982 against the dumping of PCB-laden dirt into a waste landfill in Warren County, North Carolina. The county was 65 percent Black. This protest marked one of the first times when civil rights and environmental groups collaborated. Studies in the 1980s and early 1990s which demonstrated linkages between not only environmental risk, namely the location of toxic waste sites, waste dumps, and power plants, and poverty but also between environmental risk and race in the US further empowered these activists, Also, only starting in the 1990s, has the environmental justice framework been applied outside of the United States. It is still not widely used in Asia as a framework academically but there are increasing movements for environmental justice (e.g. in China, Vietnam, and Thailand) Regardless, of the location, as Schroeder et al. (2008) assert, at the core of environmental justice struggles are universal and part of broader patterns of injustice of a global significance. Schlosberg’s 3 types of injustices What are they? distributive (how environmental goods and harms are unevenly distributed) procedural (whether different groups have equal access to decision-making) lack of recognition (whether groups have been discriminated against due to their identity). 2 key questions 1) what patterns of social inequality exist in relation to the environmental good or bad? This question is a distributional one in which a contextual process claim of injustice is being made. Such a claim analyses a specific situation, such as the distribution of floodwater in Bangkok in 2011, and historically traces patterns of urban development and decision-making and how these patterns produced injustices. Questions that also need to be asked are how inequalities are being produced, who is responsible for them, how decisions have been made have, and how are government policies and practices created and enacted 2) The second series of questions are procedural ones, examining how a society operates: how power is distributed, and how uneven environmental outcomes arise as a consequence? A basic insight of the movement is that “distribution o ...
