Small Business Promotion And Microlending: A Comparative Assessment Of Jamaican And Israeli Ngos, Benson Honig

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

Loan programs in two different countries, Israel and Jamaica, are compared and contrasted, in order to identify common elements of project design, selection, and institutional norms. Utilizing agency theory, this article examines what types of borrowers successfully navigate the credit market and to what extent the bureaucratic processes employed by institutions influence and bias outcomes in unpredicted ways in organizations. Entrepreneurs are well recognized as coming from a wide range of backgrounds; indeed, it is the very heterogeneity of their origins that allows many to provide the newness of perspective so necessary for their activities. However, hidden or tacit institutional …

Rural Towns As Partners In The Utilization Of Financial Credit: A Viable Option For Accelerated Development In Africa, Napoleon Bamfo

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

One option of development that governments in Africa can pursue but which does not appear to have crossed their minds, is encouraging towns, represented as incorporated units, to borrow financial credit. There are several reasons why this appears to be a viable option of development. No government has the financial capacity to address the social and developmental needs of every town under its jurisdiction. A government that encourages or makes it easy for individual towns to utilize credit available from financial institutions, therefore, will be opening a hitherto underutilized component of development in the form of local savings and entrepreneurship …

The Role Of Civil Affairs In Mine Action, Cisr Jmu

CISR Studies and Reports

The landmine threat to innocent civilians around the world is personally tragic, but it also represents a massive challenge to the development and infrastructure of nations at risk. Mine action is a series of activities which, taken together, attempt to ameliorate the effects of landmines. Mine action components include landmine clearance, mine awareness, and victim assistance and support activities. These diverse, and sometimes unrelated, operations are undertaken by numerous organizations, which are not typically under the control of any one organization. Coordination of effort, therefore is extremely difficult. The US government humanitarian demining program is predicated on providing limited support …

"Oh, I Have A Story": Narrative As A Teacher's Classroom Model, Kathleen J. Martin

Ethnic Studies

This paper examines the teaching practices of one American Indian teacher in a high school literature class. It explores the teacher's use of narrative as an instructional strategy designed to convey abstract concepts through concrete experience. The narratives engage students in critical thinking and personal reflection, and provide them with the opportunity to make connections between social and historical contexts. In addition, the teacher uses stories to contrast multiple contexts with personal experiences, which reflects teaching strategies previously identified as those used by effective teachers. There is evidence that sharing ideas and concepts through story is an important way of …

Differences In Turnover Intentions Between Exempt And Nonexempt Employees, Robert Ball

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Three a priori models of turnover intentions were tested to investigate differences in turnover intentions for exempt and nonexempt employees. Results of measured variable path analysis failed to differentiate exempt and nonexempt employees in their turnover intentions. Because the a priori models failed to support a distinction between exempt and nonexempt employees, an exploratory analysis was conducted for each employee group to investigate possible differences in turnover intentions. The exempt exploratory model revealed that overall satisfaction, vision and mission, total compensation, job fulfillment, leadership, and culture were significant determinants of turnover intentions. For the nonexempt exploratory model, overall satisfaction, tenure, …

Evaluation Of Dcof-Funded Peace Corps Youth-At-Risk Programming, Usaid-Leahy

Global CWD Repository

This report was the result of an evaluation of the collaboration between USAID and the Peace Corps in implementing DCOF-funded activities. The evaluation primarily explored the impact the partnership has had on intended beneficiaries, but also examined each agency’s assessments of this joint effort and the vitality of their partnership. The evaluation, the first conducted on the Participating Agency Service Agreement (PASA) which frames USAID/Peace Corps at-risk youth programming, was undertaken by an independent consultant with considerable awareness of the fund and its purposes.
