Trade-offs in the exploration of Sustainable Livelihoods: Experience from a micro-credit intervention in Nigeria
The paper discusses the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA) as implemented by a Catholic Church development organisation (Diocesan Development Services; DDS) in Nigeria, including the trade-offs involved and the meaning of 'success' with this process. SLA sets out to assess the ability of a social unit to enhance its assets and capabilities in the face of shocks and stresses over time and could be said to be a practical framework for evidence-b…
The universal common good: Faith‐based partnerships and sustainable development
Partnership is increasingly espoused as the best relationship between members of the sustainable development aid chain, and implies a respect for the position of all and a desire to avoid a situation where one group dominates another. It also implies a form of relationship that is not just ‘better’ for the sake of it but that is more able to help achieve sustainable development. However, given the inevitable inequalities in power between donors t…
Creating a greater partnership: Analysing partnership in the Catholic Church development chain
This paper presents results from a project designed to explore the meaning and function of partnership within the Catholic Church development chain. The geography literature has had little to say about such aid chains, especially those founded on faith‐based groups. The relationships between three Catholic Church‐based donors – referred to as A, B and C – with development personnel of the diocese of the Abuja Ecclesiastical Province (AEP) as well…
Analysing institutional partnerships in development: A contract between equals or a loaded process
Partnerships are complex, diverse and subtle relationships, the nature of which changes with time, but they are vital for the functioning of the development chain. This paper reviews the meaning of partnership between development institutions as well as some of the main approaches taken to analyse the relationships. The latter typically revolve around analyses based on power, discourse, interdependence and functionality. The paper makes the case …
Sustainability indicators: The problem of integration
Sustainability indicators: The problem of integration
Sustainability indicators (SIs) are increasingly seen as important tools in the implementation of sustainable development. Numerous suggested SI lists and matrices exist, but a remaining problem is how these diverse SIs are to be integrated into an answer as to whether something is sustainable or not. In some studies of sustainability workers have adopted a quantitative integration approach whereby SIs are given numerical values and integrated ma…
Donors and Sustainability in the Provision of Financial Services in Nigeria
Dependence Index (SDO' developed by Higher values of SDI effectively imply 'unsustainability' of the FS while zero or negative values of the SDI suggest that the FS is 'sustainable'
