  • Restructuring the Swazi Sugar Industry

    Open AccessAlan Terry, Mike OggARTICLEJournal of Southern African Studies2017Citada por: 5

    Since Independence, the contribution of Swazi smallholder farmers to sugar production has grown greatly. This is in part due to a change in the political support that the farmers have received from the Swazi state. Initially viewed with suspicion and as a challenge to royal hegemony, smallholder sugar cane production is now seen as a crucial means of overcoming rural poverty in Swaziland's poorest region, the semi-arid lowveld. Provision of irrig…

  • Spectators' Negotiations of Risk, Masculinity and Performative Mobilities at the TT Races

    Alan Terry, Avril Maddrell et al.ARTICLEMobilities2015Citada por: 4Referências: 24

    This paper explores the particular assemblage of place, event and individual identity performances that occur each year in the Isle of Man in and through the TT (Tourist Trophy) motorcycle races. These road races are associated with a high degree of risk for the racers and the confluence of over 30,000 visitors and 10,000 motorcycles also presents potential risks for spectators and residents alike. Both motorcycling and risk-taking have been asso…

  • Improving the effectiveness of Ugandan water user committees

    Alan Terry, Oscar Mclaughlin et al.ARTICLEDevelopment in Practice2015Referências: 4

    This article outlines issues affecting the functionality of Ugandan water user committees responsible for managing communal water and sanitation (WASH) services. Research undertaken demonstrated that their effectiveness is compromised by poor understanding of their rights and responsibilities by stakeholders within and outside the committees. Following the research, a handbook was produced that explained the rights and responsibilities in a form …

  • Community sustainable-development indicators

    Alan TerryARTICLEDevelopment in Practice2008Referências: 2

    This article undertakes a critical re-evaluation of a DFID-funded project in South Africa which ran between 1998 and 2001. The evaluation sought to test whether the development of community-led indicators would improve governance. Since the project ended, a series of papers have been published that are critical of such participatory methods, arguing particularly that they are apolitical and adopt a technocratic approach. In the light of these cri…

  • The Komati Downstream Development Project

    Open AccessAlan TerryARTICLETijdschrift voor Economische en…2007Citada por: 1Referências: 32

    To overcome widespread rural poverty, raise incomes and improve food security, Swaziland has begun a process of commercialisation of its subsistence farms. This strategy is based upon extending irrigation onto customary tenured land in the semi‐arid lowveld and converting land to sugar cane production. The paper demonstrates that if farmers adopt an irrigated home garden as a supplement to the cash crop, then food security may be improved. Howeve…

  • Extending Participation in the Swaziland Sugar Industry to Small‐Scale Growers

    Open AccessAlan Terry, Alan Keith TerryARTICLESingapore Journal of Tropical…1997

    Since its inception in 1956, the Swazi sugar industry has been dominated by large‐scale estates. In 1991, due to a combination of political and economic factors, steps were taken to allow the industry to become more accessible to small‐scale Swazi farmers. The paper considers the scale and nature of this newly emerging group and discusses its likely impact on employment. Although these developments have been introduced to enable the benefits of t…
