Should Children Work? Dilemmas Of Children’S Educational Rights In The Global South, Conrad John Masabo
Should Children Work? Dilemmas Of Children’S Educational Rights In The Global South, Conrad John Masabo
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
The realisation of Children’s Rights and the right to education, in particular, have for quite long left the children of the Global South at a crossroads. The ideal of a childhood free from work has in itself become a barrier to access this social good. As such, due to their country’s minimal or non-existent educational funding and family abject poverty, some children in the Global South have realised that adopting a pragmatic strategy of combining school and work is the only feasible solution. This study, therefore, examines the interface between children’s work and schooling in the Global South.
Decolonising Sex: Fifty Shades Of Rape, Roseline K. Njogu
Decolonising Sex: Fifty Shades Of Rape, Roseline K. Njogu
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
This article explores how ideas of patriarchy have shaped the nature and effect of rape law. It argues that rape law reinforces patriarchy, and because of the inherent inconsistencies between the male roles of aggressor and protector, it has remained ineffective. Taking Kenya as its springboard, it analyses how ideas of sexual relations within and outside marriage are transplanted through colonialism; and how they morph and merge with analogous indigenous conceptions to entrench and formalise the continued subjugation of the female body. It explores the unintended consequences of the internationalisation of English Monogamy; and rape law reform and its continuity/discontinuity …
“Give A Man A Fish: Reflections On The New Politics Of Distribution”, By James Ferguson [Book Review], Daniela Atanasova
“Give A Man A Fish: Reflections On The New Politics Of Distribution”, By James Ferguson [Book Review], Daniela Atanasova
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
Development policy and discourse have long shied away from the idea of giving money directly to the poor. In his latest book, anthropologist James Ferguson argues that this reluctance is slowly giving way. He documents a veritable ‘cash transfer revolution’ taking place in the Global South, with countries such as South Africa, Brazil and Namibia in the vanguard. Drawing on a rich empirical and ethnographic literature on cash transfers and the livelihoods of the poor, with a focus on southern Africa, Ferguson delivers a thought-provoking analysis of the genesis, limitations and radical potential of these programmes. At its most original, …

Patient Waiting Time: A Case Study Of The Medical Outpatient Department Of Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center, Adrienne Groccia, Godwin Mselle, Anzibert Rugakingira, Lodoe Sangmo, Happy Somboi, Francis M. Ngure
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
Studies of patient waiting time are scarce in low-income countries. Significant consequences of long patient waiting times, such as reduced healthcare seeking behaviours, indicate that minimising patient waiting time should be prioritised in low-income settings. Several short and long-term intervention strategies to combat the effects of patient waiting time and improve overall efficiency are based on the analysis of patient waiting time at the Medical Outpatient Department of Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center.

Public-Private Partnerships For Social And Economic Transformation In Southern Africa: Progress And Emerging Issues, Mzwanele Mfunwa, Anthony Taylor, Zebulun Kreiter
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
Attracted by prospects of overcoming public budget, human skills, technical and other constraints, Southern African countries are increasingly adopting public-private partnership (PPP) arrangements to deliver social and economic goods and services. However, most of these countries have yet to solidify the requisite legal, regulatory and institutional frameworks. This paper argues that PPPs have a potential to transform and improve the lives of the regions’ citizens if these basic frameworks are attended to forthwith.

Different Types Of Participation In Constitution Making Processes: Towards A Conceptualisation, Abrak Saati
Different Types Of Participation In Constitution Making Processes: Towards A Conceptualisation, Abrak Saati
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
Though participatory constitution making processes in post-conflict states and in states transitioning from authoritarian rule have become a new trend, scholarly research has yet to approach the notion of participation in a sharp and distinct way. In this article, I develop a novel approach for differentiating participation in constitution making, depending on the extent of influence that participants are granted, illustrating this reasoning with eight empirical cases from the African continent.
