“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, …

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 …
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
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
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.

Mineral Taxation And Resource Nationalism In Zambia, Sangwani Patrick Ng’Ambi
Mineral Taxation And Resource Nationalism In Zambia, Sangwani Patrick Ng’Ambi
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
This article examines the resource nationalism cycle in Zambia. The resource nationalism cycle has episodically plagued investors in resource rich nations. Host states, lacking the financing and technical know-how, invite foreign investors to explore and exploit their vast natural resources. The former offer all sorts of fiscal incentives to appear attractive to the latter. Once operations commence and the resource experiences a sustained upward growth trend, the host state may retract the fiscal incentives previously offered, or simply nationalise assets, in a bid to exercise greater control over their natural resources and maximise the benefits accruing from high prices. The …
Homegrown Or Imported? Frugal Innovation And Local Economic Development In Zambia, Iva Peša
Homegrown Or Imported? Frugal Innovation And Local Economic Development In Zambia, Iva Peša
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
Innovation and entrepreneurship have the potential to stimulate economic growth. Yet it remains unclear whether top-down or bottom-up innovations are more likely to lead to local economic development. By looking at three cases of frugal innovation on the Zambian Copperbelt, in the spheres of housing, water and energy, it will be argued that polycentric innovation (which connects local and international actors) is most likely to generate inclusive development. Yet even a polycentric approach does not guarantee desired outcomes, as innovation remains context specific.
The Impact Of Labour Productivity On Economic Growth: The Case Of Mauritius And South Africa, Jack Jones Zulu, Benjamin Mattondo Banda
The Impact Of Labour Productivity On Economic Growth: The Case Of Mauritius And South Africa, Jack Jones Zulu, Benjamin Mattondo Banda
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
This study explores the impact of labour productivity on economic growth in Mauritius and South Africa. We establish that investments in physical capital have a positive effect on labour productivity and by implication on economic performance. Labour employment in industry is counterproductive, while the cumulative effect of new technologies on labour productivity is negligible in the three-year intervals. It is the initial stock and subsequent accumulation of human capital that stimulates faster output growth in both countries.
Review Of “Interventions: A Life In War And Peace”, By Kofi A. Annan, Njunga Michael Mulikita
Review Of “Interventions: A Life In War And Peace”, By Kofi A. Annan, Njunga Michael Mulikita
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
This book offers a highly informative account of the life story of the seventh UN Secretary-General, Kofi Atta Annan, the first Sub-Saharan African UN Chief to emerge from within the vast bureaucracy of the United Nations. It is a riveting account narrated by the consummate UN diplomat who served in all the Organisation’s major duty stations ranging from Geneva, Switzerland, through Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to a peacekeeping mission in the hot and dusty Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, and ultimately the 38th Floor of the UN Headquarters, New York.

Review Of The Economic Policy Research Center (Eprc) Repository Hosted By The Southern African Institute For Policy Research, Steve Kayizzi-Mugerwa
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
The EPRC Repository is an online, open access site established in 2014 and hosted by SAIPAR, a new center for policy research and the proprietor of this journal. SAIPAR is quickly establishing its name in the region as dynamic, innovative and not averse to using modern approaches for its outreach to academics and policymakers. The institute brings a new excitement to social research and policy in Africa. Research at SAIPAR is also included in the EPRC. By June 2014, after only six months of existence, the EPRC Repository had accumulated close to 140 quality papers from various institutions in Southern …

Post-Materialism And Foreign Policy – A First Cut, Edelgard E. Mahant
Post-Materialism And Foreign Policy – A First Cut, Edelgard E. Mahant
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
The influence of political culture on foreign policy is a much-neglected topic. This article focuses on one aspect of political culture: the concept of post-materialism as developed by Inglehart. Using Canada and South Africa as case studies, the article determines the degree of post-materialism of these two countries’ political culture and then attempts to assess the extent to which the ideas of post-materialism have influenced the foreign policy of the two countries. The methodology is that of examining the ratifications of relevant UN conventions and the press releases of the foreign ministries of the two governments dealing with the subjects …
Seeing The Whole Elephant: A Comprehensive Framework For Analyzing Resource-For-Infrastructure Contracts As Intended By The Parties, Dunia P. Zongwe
Seeing The Whole Elephant: A Comprehensive Framework For Analyzing Resource-For-Infrastructure Contracts As Intended By The Parties, Dunia P. Zongwe
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
The current state of scientific knowledge on resource-for-infrastructure (R4I) contracting is unclear and based on inadequate empirical grounds. As a result, it is not easy to tell a R4I contract apart from other forms of international business transactions, let alone describe it in a comprehensive, accurate and meaningful way. Such state of affairs is concerning given the dramatic transformative impact of R4I contracts. This article sheds light on R4I contracts and proposes a broad framework for analyzing these multibillion-dollar deals. It looks to the contracting parties’ intentions – as expressly set out in the texts of contractual and official documents …
Freedom Of Association And Ngo Law: The Constitutionality Of The 2009 Zambian Ngo Law, Muna Ndulo
Freedom Of Association And Ngo Law: The Constitutionality Of The 2009 Zambian Ngo Law, Muna Ndulo
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
Freedom of Association is entrenched in the Zambian Constitution and in several International Law instruments to which Zambia is a party. By hindering the independent and effective operations of NGOs, the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) Act of 2009 unjustifiably curtails this freedom. This paper examines the NGO Act and documents the various instances in which it imposes an unconstitutional, unjustifiable and disproportionate hindrance on the ability of NGOs to operate effectively. It argues that the Act threatens to roll back the enormous gains that NGOs have made and continue to make in fermenting accountable, democratic and effective governance in Zambia.

Constitution Making: The Role Of External Actors, Muna B. Ndulo
Constitution Making: The Role Of External Actors, Muna B. Ndulo
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
In the past three decades new constitutions have been developed in many parts of the world, often in the aftermath of conflicts, but also in response to demands for more democratic political systems or for the resolution of institutional crises. In these processes, the international community often plays an important role. This article considers the role that external actors play in the elaboration and development of new constitutions in post-conflict societies. It identifies both the negative and the positive roles external intervention can play and suggests approaches that could be adopted by external actors to maximize their impact while avoiding …
