Psychosocial Barriers as Impediments to the Expansion of Functionings and Capabilities
Social norms can enable or limit development. The focus of this paper is on how psychosocial barriers limit functionings and capability development in Mexico. As far as individuals make such barriers their own, they go from being external to being internal; that is, they go beyond being social norms to becoming personal ones. As social norms become personal norms, they can become either barriers or opportunities for change. In fatalistic and tigh…
A Human Basis for Sustainable Development
Sociocultural and economic limitations often deprive individuals of the freedoms to make decisions regarding their lives, hindering development.

NGO-government partnerships for scaling up

NGOs often have well-tested programmes and research outcomes that are relevant to such needs, yet the scaling up of pilot programmes to national level is difficult to achieve and frequently unsuccessful. This article presents a case of successful scaling up for an adolescent sexual-health and psychosocial-competencies programme in …
Effectiveness of a Mexican Health Education Program in a Poverty-Stricken Rural Area of Guatemala
In this article, the authors discuss the transfer to Guatemala of an integral health education program, originally developed for indigenous women in southern Mexico. The program was implemented with some 400 indigenous women in rural Guatemala living under dire poverty, and was carried out through a closely supervised cascade process in which specially trained local women conducted workshops to their fellow countrywomen. The program aimed at impa…

Thereafter they describe how the programs were initially designed, taking into considerat…

This paper is about the work of a Mexican non-governmental organisation, IMIFAP, which has designed and evaluate…

This study was implemented in three stages: a needs assessment, development of a training course and com…
