| Abstract: | Endogenous Development (ED) is based on local people's criteria of development and takes account of the material, social and spiritual well-being of the people concerned. It is based on local strategies, values, institutions and resources. This book consists of three general chapters discussing Endogenous Development and five specific chapters, examining local conditions, plus a conclusion. The three general chapters are: Reasons for supporting Endogenous Development (C.M.S. Boonzaaijer, A.A. Apusigah); A framework for ED Africa: walking the COMPAS 'bushpath' (D. Millar, W. Hiemstra); and Endogenous Development in sub-Saharan Africa (C.M.S. Boonzaaier, A.A. Apusigah). The specific chapters contain case studies on: Northern Ghana and the empathetic learning and action framework (D. Millar, S.Z. Bonye); Community organisational development in south-western Ghana (B.Y. Guri, W.A. Laate); Framework for Endogenous Development in southern Africa (Lesotho, South Africa, Zimbabwe) (A.I. Mwadiwa, R. Tivafire); Tanzania, the Maasai and Endogenous Development (O.T. Kibwana, R.C. Masandika); and Participatory learning and attitude change in Uganda (Basoga people of Iganga and Mayuge districts) (D. Nkanda, S. Batuuka). The concluding chapter, Synthesis, reflections and conclusions, is by D. Millar and A.A. Apusigah. [ASC Leiden abstract] |
