A Process And Outcome Evaluation Of Police Working With Youth Programs, Stephen Anderson, Ronald Sabatelli, Jennifer Trachtenberg

Journal of Youth Development

A process and outcome evaluation of 10 Police Working with Youth Programs was conducted. Process results indicated that the core components of the programs were consistent with those identified in previous literature as characteristic of quality youth development programs. Outcome results indicated that youth participants reported significantly improved attitudes toward police and social support received from significant, non-familial adults. Two subgroups of youth, most notably minority youth and younger participants in lower grade levels, reported positive changes in their capacity to resist peer pressures. Minority youth reported positive changes in their sense of mastery over stressful life situations. Relationships between …

Factors Affecting Application Of New Public Management Oriented Reforms For Reforming Nepalese Public Administration, Bharat Raj Gautam Oct 2008

Factors Affecting Application Of New Public Management Oriented Reforms For Reforming Nepalese Public Administration, Bharat Raj Gautam

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

New Public Management (NPM) has become a dominant model of administrative reforms since 1980s. The basic principle of NPM is based on economic and managerial theories. Application of economic theories in the public sector allows to introduce competition in the public service delivery system, to contract out functions of the government, and to privatize state owned agencies. Application of managerial theories in the public sector gives an opportunity to provide flexibility in managing the functions of government where public managers have been given more autonomy to manage their jobs. Primarily, NPM based reforms applied in developed nations namely Britain, New …

Financial Management Of The Small Municipalities Of Nepal: Sustainability Issues, Mahesh Baral Oct 2008

Financial Management Of The Small Municipalities Of Nepal: Sustainability Issues, Mahesh Baral

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Due to the centre dominated intergovernmental fiscal relation; the decentralization efforts of Nepal remained incomplete even after 9 years of the implementation of LSGA. The financial health of Nepalese local governments, particularly small municipalities is vulnerable as they are going to loose a big chunk of resource called LDF in near future and so far no substitute for it is prescribed or recommended. Many researchers have argued that the proper implementation of property based tax could replace the LDF but there are many concerns and several barriers with such tax system. Firstly it has limited scope to improve the financial …

Towards Developing Indicators Of Environmental Sustainability For Kathmandu, Nepal, Ambika Prasad Adhikari Oct 2008

Towards Developing Indicators Of Environmental Sustainability For Kathmandu, Nepal, Ambika Prasad Adhikari

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Sustainability is now considered a key objective of urban planning everywhere. However, due to inappropriate planning, weak institutions, lack of resources and poor implementation of policies, most big cities in the developing world have become even less sustainable, environmentally, economically and socially, than they were in the past. Kathmandu, Nepal enjoyed a unique tradition, rich history and a moderate state of sustainability in all areas, particularly a strong environmental sustainability, in the past. However, the rapidly growing and modernizing city of Kathmandu is facing serious problems of sustainability in all fronts: economic, social, environmental and ecological. Whereas environmental and economic …

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

The aim of this paper is to further discussion on the changing landscape of Nepals socioeconomic world as seen through the lens of religious worship sites and practices. Anthropologists of religion in Nepal have a long history of exploring worship sites and practices, and the ways in which those sites and practices integrate, and integrate into, Nepali cultures and societies. As Nepal is increasingly connected to an economically, politically and socially globalizing world, a fresh review of worship sites and practices is in order—not only from a strictly ethnographic, documentary perspective, but from a perspective that considers how the rapid …

The Limits Of Success? Ngos, Microfinance And Economic Development In Pakistans Northern Areas', Feisal Khan

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

For its advocates, microfinance has become a near-panacea for ensuring that the poor of the developing world would benefit from growth and development. In short, microfinance would ensure that trickle down would actually trickle down. Microfinance became more than 'just' a policy option when its staunchest proponent spoke of it in moral and social justice terms: Muhammad Yunus, the Nobel laureate founder of Bangladesh's Grameen Bank, declared access to credit as a basic human right. One of the world's largest and most successful rural development Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) is the Aga Khan Rural Support Program (AKRSP), operating since 1982 in …
