Chapter 8. Main findings, observations and recommendations In this Chapter, the main findings, observations and recommendations are discussed. The purpose is to present an overview of the sector studies sampled for the period 1990 to 1996. Some of the highlights can be traced to sector studies carried out before the period under review and may also be relevant for future sector studies in Zimbabwe and elsewhere. We believe that, in one way or the other, these main highlights are also experienced in other developing countries in general and those of the African continent in particular. Main findings The main findings include issues related to availability of sector studies, knowledge about sector studies, management of sector studies, methods and approaches, initiation of sector studies, content of such studies, implementation, competition among international agencies, consistency between sector studies and national plans, co-operation among the researcher, the agency and the government, and the way forward. Availability of sector studies Education sector studies for the period under review were scattered among government ministries, agencies, education institutions and individuals. In several cases, it was relatively easier to obtain sector studies from individuals than from government ministries. Yet the majority of sector studies were supposed to be with government ministries. In other words, there is no one place where the team members could obtain the needed documents. Researchers instead paid repeated visits to government ministries, NGOs, aid agencies, institutions of higher learning and individuals in order to collect sector studies carried out during the period under review. This was time-consuming and wasteful in terms of resources.

What is Gender Responsive Budgeting? Gender-responsive budget analysis simply refers to the analysis of actual government expenditure and revenue on women and girls as compared to men and boys. Gender budgets are not separate budgets for women and they don't aim to increase spending on women specific programmes. Gender budget analysis helps governments decide how policies need to be adjusted, and where resources need to be reallocated. Gender budget analysis provides women with an indicator of government commitment to address women's specific needs and rights to health care, education and employment. 2.

Strategic Environmental Planning Process for NGOs in Botswana The documents NGOs aim to launch the NGO Strategy on the Environment and the four more specific strategic plans at the NGO Conference on the Environment to be held 1-3 August 2000. The NGOs has initiated this process of strategic environmental planning in order to develop and/or identify indicators and tools to critically examine and measure whether they are working within the context of sustainable development. The process has so far assisted the NGOS in achieving a better overview of the context, problems, opportunities and information gaps, and in identifying areas for strategic action. In addition, the process has resulted in that NGOs have increasingly realised the importance of strategic planning as well as need for improved networking and forming effective partnerships. Below is briefed about the methodology used and presented some of the major findings. Methodology used Key Issues identified Cross-cutting Themes Methodology used The Strategic Environmental Planning Process is being guided by the Strategic Environmental Analysis (SEAn) methodology which has been developed by AIDEnvironment and SNV.

Complete List of Institute Reports Release Date: CONTENTS Introduction Background The Peace Process and Reconciliation Obstacles to Popular Reconciliation ... About the Authors SPECIAL REPORT NGOs and the Peace Process in Angola Executive Summary The report contains a detailed set of suggested activities that could be organized by either Angolan or international NGOs to promote peace and reconciliation. This list includes the following: Organize joint training programs and development projects that bring together local groups from the two opposing sides. Use the media to promote peace, in part by training journalists. Undertake policy analysis of constitutional, economic, and educational issues to ensure that future government policies promote reconciliation. Develop a corps of trained mediators to mediate local and national disputes. Introduction The United States Institute of Peace sent a two-person team consisting of staff member David Smock and consultant John Prendergast to Angola in February. The purpose of this mission was to recommend ways for Angolan and international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to promote reconciliation in Angola as part of the postwar peace process. Much has been written about the mediation of peace accords, the creation of peace agreements, the management of international intervention, and the deployment of peacekeeping forces. But little attention has been given to the process of reconciliation, the mending of broken relationships, and the rebuilding of societies so that peace can be sustained.

As news of Aliyev’s decision spread, local NGO activists were in a celebratory mood. "NGO solidarity yields fruit," proclaimed a statement issued by the NGO Forum in Baku. The amendments to the law on grants would have required that all grants given to local organizations by international governments, NGOs and other funding organizations be registered. In addition, the amendments stipulated that only officially registered organizations could receive grants. In effect, the changes would have given the Azerbaijani government a veto over the dispersal of grant money to NGOs. [
