Living a Mzungu Life
Urban informal settlements in rapidly expanding cities of the global south are often inhabited by rural migrants seeking better livelihood opportunities. Within the migration and development nexus, limited attention has been given to how remittances from migrant workers – who continue to have irregular status in their destination countries – shape the living conditions of families living in these precarious urban spaces. In particular, the intera…
Gender disparities in rural livelihood diversification and household food insecurity in northern Ghana
Although income diversification is a well-established strategy for mitigating poverty and household food insecurity, gendered dimensions have been under-investigated. Examining a specific district in northern Ghana with heightened levels of food insecurity, we asked two questions: 1) Does income diversification reduce the risk of experiencing household food insecurity? and if so, 2) Does the relationship differ between women and men? This investi…
Linking vulnerabilities of small-scale fisheries with seagrass health and water quality
“If we didn't have anything, not even pots to cook, how do we help each other”
Bonding and bridging social capital networks facilitated food access among non-displaced households but also deepened post-disaster inequalities. • Linking social capital networks were overwhelmed by Cyclone Idai’s impacts, which limited their facilitation of food access. • Fostering social cohesion between the various social capital networks is crucial for understanding and addressing food insecurity-related disaster risks and impacts

Considering gender differences in measuring household food insecurity in northern Ghana
This study compares estimates of household food insecurity between men and women living within the same household (n = 866) to assess whether there is a gender bias in reporting. The main research question is, do household food insecurity scores and prevalence categories differ between male and female spouses within households in the sample? Findings indicate that men's household food insecurity estimates were lower on average at 3.49, than women…
Household vulnerability to food price increases
Volatile food prices represent a common hazard to the food security of poor urban households. In trying to understand the impact of this hazard, income poverty is widely accepted as the principal predictive variable. But could other variables be important in understanding household vulnerability to food price shocks? This analysis uses survey data collected from 11 cities in Southern Africa by the African Food Security Urban Network during the 20…

Growing Out of Poverty
Supermarket Expansion and the Informal Food Economy in Southern African Cities
The new international food security agenda proposes small farmer production as the solution to growing food insecurity in Africa. A striking omission in this agenda is any consideration of the dimensions and determinants of urban food security. In Southern African towns and cities, lack of access to food is key to the food insecurity of poor urban households. This article reviews the current state of knowledge about the food sources of such house…
Surviving on the Move
Pathways of food
Using recent multi-city survey data, the analysis demonstrates that informal rural–urban and urban–urban food transfers make important contributions to the food budgets of chronically food-insecure, poor households in the rapidly urbanising cities of Southern Africa. The paper outlines why dealing with food and nutrition security is a priority and multi-faceted urban development challenge, and argues for development policy and planning that seeks…

Migration in Namibia
In adopting a framework that applies both macro and micro variables to the study of migration in Namibia, the analysis of the findings of the Namibia Migration Project emphasizes the utility of combining different scales and methods of data collection in terms of explaining migration dynamics and extending trends and patterns to future scenarios. It is argued that the contextual and explanatory macro factors such as political history, poverty, po…
Home is Where the Heart Is
Political Ideology, Social Change, and Planning Practice in Namibia
This article explores the ideological roots of planning in Namibia over the past century and how these have influenced practice. The article generally argues that a positivist approach to urban and regional planning in Namibia promoted the ideologies of the South African colonial government during the preindependence years. Furthermore, it is argued that planning is normative and bound by sociocultural and political contexts, evidenced within the…
