Item À la fois travailleuses et responsables des soins : les échanges commerciaux peuvent-ils profiter aux femmes de l’Amérique latine?(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2010-05) Rius, AndrésItem À qui profitent les dépenses sociales au Tchad? : une analyse d'incidence à partir des données d'enquête(Réseaux de PEP, 2005) Djindil Syntiche, Nakar; Ndang, Tabo Symphorien; Anatole, Toinar MogotaItem A través de ojos indígenas : hacia procesos adecuados de toma de decisiones sobre actividades mineras en tierras ancestrales o en sus proximidades; informe final de síntesis(Instituto Norte-Sur, Ottawa, CA, 2002) Weitzner, V.Item Aboriginal tourism in northern Canada : how collaborative research can improve community engagement in tourism projects(Sylvie Blangy (consultant), 2008) Blangy, Sylvie; McGinley, Robin; Chevalier, Jacques M.Situated in the James Bay area, the Cree Nation is comprised of 15,000 people in nine communities spread out over 350,000 square kilometers. The project’s goal is to position Eeyou Istchee (the traditional territory and homeland of the Cree) as a Cree tourism destination for external markets. Participants were able to share knowledge, build bridges, develop links between communities and operators, and work together at the regional level. Community Tourism Officers were provided with tools they can use independently at the community level and for other meetings (Band Council).Item Academic versus vocational training : maximizing Tanzania's educational system(Dept. of Economics, University of Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, TZ, 2009) University of Dar es Salaam, Micro Level Perspectives of Growth (MLPG)This brief analyzes the rates of return in Tanzania for two main educational trajectories, academic and vocational, as a way of determining policy priorities for developing the education sector. Rounding out academic skills with vocational ones may promote longer participation in the academic path and increase returns for all parties, allowing for a strong foundation for entry into the workforce. Also, in Tanzania, firm size plays an important role. With the exception of university-level education, it was found that large firms increased returns for workers over small firms, and this is an important predictor for the rates of return for on-the-job training.Item Acceso de las MIPyMES al catálogo electrónico del INCOP(Universidad Nacional de San Martín (UNSAM), Buenos Aires, AR, 2011-05) Aviles Pazmino, DavidEl sistema nacional de contratación pública del Ecuador se creó en el año 2008 mediante la expedición de la LOSNCP (Ley Orgánica del Sistema Nacional de Contratación Pública), esta ley afecta a todos los proveedores del Estado y a las Entidades contratantes. Las Entidades que están sujetas a esta ley son las instituciones o empresas, que financien su actividad mediante la utilización de fondos públicos y las empresas en donde el Estado tenga una participación igual o mayor al 50% del total del paquete accionario.Item Access and plant genetic resources for food and agriculture : exploring options to implement the international treaty on plant genetic resources for food and agriculture and article 15.2 of the convention on biological diversity; final technical report, Feb. 2004 - Feb. 2006(IPGRI, Rome, IT, 2006) International Plant Genetic Resources InstituteItem Access to justice and the processing of telecommunications claims : the dilemma of special civil courts in Brazil(2013) Shérida Ferraz, LeslieThe Special Civil Courts (SCC) of Brazil have processed an enormous volume of claims involving telephone service providers, which often lead the rankings of those most sued. As the Courts were not created to solve problems in a collective and aggregate manner, they end up producing individual responses to the parties who bring the claims, which explains the volume of cases. This paper argues that there exists an indirect relationship between ANATEL [National Telecommunications Agency] and SCCs, even though these Courts do not have jurisdiction to review the decisions of regulatory agencies.Item Access to land and land based resources among women in pastoralist and forest-dependent communities in East Africa(Centre for Advanced Studies in Environmental Law and Policy (CASELAP), University of Nairobi, 2012) Nyamu Musembi, Celestine; Mubuu, Kamau; Kameri-Mbote, PatriciaResearch was conducted in three East African countries: Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Findings illustrate how women’s entitlements are mediated through sub-national/ethnic citizenship with implications on their national citizenship and human rights. Law, policy, and practice have excluded women in land ownership and control and made their access tenuous. For instance, the Law of Succession Act (Kenya, 1981) exempts pastoralist regions from application of the Act, giving pastoralist communities in Kenya the freedom to apply their own customary laws. In virtually all the communities concerned, there is no recognition of marital property and inheritance rights for daughters.Item Access to land and land based resources among women in pastoralist and forest-dependent communities in East Africa : exploring multiple exclusions and their impacts on women’s citizenship; final technical report(2012-12) Kameri-Mbote, PatriciaThe security of women’s entitlement to land and land-based resources in the East Africa region has been compromised by a combination of unfavourable laws and government policies, socio-economic change toward greater commoditization of and competition for land and land-based resources, and exclusionary practices defended as ‘customary’. Law, policy, and practice have excluded women in land ownership and control and made their access tenuous. Yet land and resources linked to it form a critical part of pastoral and forest dependent communities’ life lines and lack of access to these resources can lead to the decimation of the affected communities because their livelihoods are linked to particular landscapes. For women in such communities, this exclusion is exacerbated by the marginalisation of the entire community polity in national policies generally. Gender within this context comprises an additional layer of exclusion. This research sought to explore access to land and land based resources among women in the Hadza, Batwa, Maasai, Ogiek and Karamojong communities (representing pastoralist and forest-dependent communities in East Africa) while exploring multiple exclusions and their impacts on women’s citizenship. It specifically sought to understand and make proposals on how best to secure the rights to land and land-based resources for women in these communities, in view of the fact that they have to negotiate between multiple citizenships. The research was carried out using desk-based (review of literature) and field-based methods (social mapping, surveys, interviews and focus group discussions) to elicit a contextual understanding of how women’s marginalization among the Hadza, Batwa, Maasai, Ogiek and Karamojong is generated, entrenched and rationalized. The deepened and contextual understanding was to help us inform advocacy initiatives and engage with government policies both at local, national and regional levels.Item Access to land for urban agriculture in Eastern and Southern Africa : a synthesis report(Municipal Development Partnership, Harare, ZW, 2004) Municipal Development PartnershipItem Access to water, time allocation and income in rural India(National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER), New Delhi, IN, 2012-05) Binswanger-Mkhize, Hans; Nag, Sharmistha; Nagarajan, Hari K.; Pradhan, Kailash C.; Singh, SudhirIn this paper we show that investments to improve the supply and management of water reduce the time spent in fetching water by both men and women, which in turn will lead to a reallocation of the time saved to productive activities, and result in increased incomes. Using the national ARIS/REDS panel data of the NCAER we show that political reservations in the local government for vulnerable groups like scheduled castes and tribes, and women lead to greater local government investments in water supply and improved management. Political reservations are shown to increase the time spent by women in all productive activities, especially in selfemployment in farm and non-farm activities. Increases in self-employment are shown to have the greatest impact among the productive activities on household incomes. We show that reservations also increase the wages that women receive in the rural non-farm labor market, which suggests that they reduce discrimination against women in labor markets.Item Acción colectiva : base del desarrollo sustentable(Universidad Autónoma Chapingo, Texcoco, MX, 2003) Baca Del Moral, JulioItem Accommodating customary water management arrangements to consolidate poverty-focused water reform : a policy brief(Eastern and Central Africa Programme for Agricultural Policy Analysis (ECAPAPA), Entebbe, UG, 2007) Eastern and Central Africa Programme for Agricultural Policy Analysis (ECAPAPA)Item Accompagnement personnalisé pour étudiants en situation d'échec : point de vue des étudiants(Université d'Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2008) Philion, Ruth; Arcand, Isabelle; Bourassa, Michelle; Leblanc, RaymondItem Accords de partenariat économique et pauvreté au Bénin : une analyse à l'aide d'un MEGC selon le principe de micro-simulation(2007) Adjovi, Epiphane; Missinhoun, Rodolph; Okoudjou, KoladeCe papier essaie de quantifier les impacts de la mise en oeuvre des APE sur la répartition du revenu et la pauvreté au Bénin. Pour ce faire, un modèle de micro-simulation sur la base des données d'une enquête réalisée en 2003 est construit. En s'appuyant sur deux simulations de libéralisation (compensatoire ou non), nous montrons que la mise en oeuvre de l'APE sera d'autant plus bénéfique pour l'économie et pro-pauvre qu'elle sera négociée graduellement en fonction de l'architecture économique et que des efforts seront fournis pour adapter une fiscalité intérieure conséquente.Item Accounting for environmental services : contrasting the SEEA and the ENRAP approaches(EEPSEA, Singapore, SG, 1999) IDRC. Regional Office for Southeast and East Asia, Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia; Peskin, H.M.; de los Angeles, M.S.Item Accumulation regimes, labour market and inequality : the Brazilian case in a long-term perspective; Brazilian paper C (annex 7)(Institute for Human Development, New Delhi, IN, 2014-05) de Freitas Barbosa, Alexandre; Cacciamali, Maria CristinaCapital intensiveness rises in dynamic sectors, yet without generating institutionalized commitments capable of passing on productivity gains, as became evident during the military regime. The subsequent establishment of a wage labor relation, was “highly competitive, segmented, and permanently monitored by the State”. Mobility and inequality were at the core of the transformation of the Brazilian social structure throughout the accelerated industrialization period. Both are, in turn, the outcome and the structuring force of the regime of accumulation set up during the military regime, at a time when inequality was steadily rising and social mobility was seriously constrained.Item Achieving a sustainable automotive sector in Asia and the Pacific : challenges and opportunities for the reduction of vehicle CO2 emissions(ARTNeT, United Nations ESCAP, 2011-12) Abe, MasatoThe present status of various alternative drive trains and fuel types as well as their combinations are summarized, as well as targeted policy and regulatory options for reducing CO2 emissions. Challenges facing the development of new drive train technologies and use of alternative fuels are posed by high investment costs associated with research, production and infrastructure development. Switching from internal combustion engines to electronic motors would sharply reduce energy demand and lower CO2 emissions from vehicles. Most urgent for governments in the region is development of guidelines for coordinated CO2 related taxation; as well as establishing regional fuel efficiency standards.Item Achieving efficiency and equity in irrigation management : an optimization model of the El Angel watershed, Carchi, Ecuador(Elsevier, 2003) Evans, E.M.; Lee, D.R.; Boisvert, R.N.; Arce, Blanca; Steenhuis, T.S.
