Constitutional Law Democracy and Development Decentralisation and Governance in Uganda

Constitutional Law Democracy and Development Decentralisation and Governance in Uganda

Uganda like many African countries in the 1990s adopted decentralisation as a state reform measure after many years of civil strife and political conflicts by transferring powers and functions to district councils. The decision to transfer powers and functions to district councils was in the main linked to the quest for democracy and development within the broader context of the nation state. This book’s broader aim is to examine whether the legal and policy framework of decentralisation produces a system of governance that better serves the greater objectives of local democracy local development and accommodation of ethnicity. Specifically the book pursues one main aim: to examine whether indeed the existing legal framework ensures the smooth devolution process that is needed for decentralised governance to succeed. In so doing the book seeks overall to offer lessons that are critically important not only for Uganda but any other developing nation that has adopted decentralisation as a state-restructuring strategy. The book uses a desk-top research method by reviewing Uganda’s decentralisation legal and policy frameworks. | Constitutional Law Democracy and Development Decentralisation and Governance in Uganda

The Humanitarian Parent Balancing Work and Family in the Aid Sector

The Humanitarian Parent Balancing Work and Family in the Aid Sector

Aid sector staff work in some of the world’s most challenging environments from conflict zones to sites of natural disaster and refugee camps. For a long time the aid worker was typified by the lone white male flying from place to place and seeing his family during the holidays. But now as the world changes and the sector diversifies how can family life be reconciled with the challenges and travel commitments of this particularly difficult career? This book delves deep into these challenges exposing the problems that persist and pointing a path for organisations to adopt a more human-centred staff-centred parent-centred feminist approach to humanitarian and development work. Drawing on the author’s own experiences as an aid worker as well as extensive original interviews and desk research the book looks at the challenges faced by those who aspire to a family life from finding a partner who is willing and able to live in the same location to dating in difficult contexts to being away from home and extended family finding child care and settling children in new countries and cultures. Local workers face their own challenges often suffering from a lack of support in comparison to their international colleagues. For many the cost is too great and the sector suffers from a brain drain as experienced staff leave. It doesn’t need to be this way. The book points a way for organisations to adopt policies that support mothers and fathers. As well as being a useful guide for aid professionals who are themselves navigating these issues the book will be perfect for organisations looking to reform and for students wishing to understand the realities of a career in aid. | The Humanitarian Parent Balancing Work and Family in the Aid Sector
