- Description:
- This article discusses the concept of development communication and the role which communication can play in the development process. Using the Ugandan example, it shows how the broadcast media have been used for formal and non-formal education in select African countries. It reveals the potentialities and constraints of educational broadcasting in particular and broadcasting in general including technological underdevelopment, lack of financial and human resources, as well as political instability and upheavals.Mtumi

- Description:
- This paper explores the usefulness and feasibility of using emergency aid and food aid to stimulate development processes during periods of famine in Africa. The proposition that relief aid can be utilised in creative ways that directly benefit individual households by increasing the value of their assets is made in a forceful way. Diversified sources of rural income resulting from this strategy reinforce the capacity of the most vulnerable households to protect themselves against the effects of future drought. This may seem a somewhat ambitious objective. However, even under considerable personal stress people have a tremendous will to survive and to invest in their future if given the chance. If this is true, then the bulk of emergency food aid supplied to African countries is used inefficiently because it does not offer families this possibility.

- Description:
- Social work practice in Zimbabwe is in the midst of change, moving away from its colonial legacy of social work as an instrument of social control to a model that is increasingly developmental with a focus on social change (Kaseke. 1991). As a result of such changes, assessing the outcome of social work education and training in Zimbabwe becomes particularly critical at this time. The outcome study reported here is a follow-up of work completed by Brand (1983) of the employment and educational experiences of Diploma students between 1971 and 1981 at the School of Social Work in Harare.

- Description:
- This paper addresses the concept of policy dialogue as it applies to issues of gender equity and participation. It discusses the basic elements of the concept, explores five models of policy dialogue as well as constraints to the institutionalisation of policy dialogue for gendered development. It argues that the constraints emanate from the hegemony of the neo-liberal discourse on development; the effect of globalisation on the balance of power among key institutions in international, national and local arenas; the rigidities within national bureaucratic cultures; and the unequal patterns of development as well as contradictions within gender constituencies.
