This would make knowledge production in conflict contexts more ethical, relevant and beneficial to everyone involved.","PeriodicalId":47576,"journal":{"name":"Development in Practice","volume":"33 1","pages":"656 - 662"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43868076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are commonly referred to as kitchen gardens, backyard gardens, garden patches, and garden beds and often have a local or cultural context. Home gardens vary from location to location in terms of organization, structure, size, and composition and are generally influenced by household resources and attributes, socioeconomic aspects, and cultural factors. International organizations and national, regional, and local governments, non-governmental organizations, and grassroots groups have been adopting and utilizing home gardening to reduce hunger and food insecurity and mitigate food risks from various crises and disasters. Drawing on case studies from various regions of the world, this article highlights experiences with home gardening through case studies and their impacts on targeted communities in various areas of the world. The case studies show that low resource use, adaptability to diverse conditions and situations, and resilience are key factors contributing to the widespread adoption of home gardens. Furthermore, they have been a particularly useful development strategy in crisis and post-crisis situations and in improving marginalized and vulnerable communities’ food and nutritional security. This review article summarizes the important contributions of home gardening projects from various countries and identifies major constraints and opportunities. It concludes with recommendations to policy-makers, researchers, development practitioners and other relevant stakeholders to address those challenges.","PeriodicalId":47576,"journal":{"name":"Development in Practice","volume":"33 1","pages":"852 - 859"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42105368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finlay","doi":"10.1080/09614524.2023.2203881","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09614524.2023.2203881","url":null,"abstract":"This issue focuses on gender and minorities in the Global South and is very much concerned with practical outcomes. Linked to this is the pervasiveness of Western hegemony when it comes to development discourses about gender and sexual identity, pleasure, disability, and narratives about masculinity and the role of women. As many of the articles in this issue point out, “assisted” by neo-colonial Western values alone, practical outcomes can be ineffectual or insufficient. This can have wide-ranging effects, not only on the minority groups themselves, but also on food security, nutrition, domestic and local harmony, the lives and wellbeing of children, democracy, and the effectiveness of humanitarian aid, to name just a few areas. Over a decade after the publication of her seminal article, “Why is Development Work so Straight? Heteronormativity in the International Development Industry”, Susie Jolly examines whether the development sector is still heteronormative in regard to LGBTQ + and the pleasures of sexuality. She finds that while discussion around LGBTQI + has increased, funding and aid have not, and also that discussion tends to fall into homocolonial paradigm (Rahman 2020), whereby Western norms are uncritically imposed on queer minorities. Further, in discourse surrounding pleasure and sexuality, Jolly suggests that heteronormative and neocolonial influences are still pervasive, arguing that a stronger link between pleasure and politics needs to be made. Pilke and Waliyua reveal that, in Zambia, “despite the right to participation, few persons with disabilities have access to public decision-making structures”. Their article considers the causes of these barriers to disability, finding that, while political parties may favour diversity, ableist attitudes, which inhibit participation, persist. The article focuses on difficulties with voting, engaging in political candidature, and campaigning that can potentially deny Zambians with disabilities a political voice. Pilke and Waliyua suggest that it is not enough to import Western notions of “accessibility” into Zambian discourse; structural changes must be made locally to ensure that equity is achievable. Hillenbrand et al. look at how to practically change gender inequality in Burundi. Their paper considers two approaches: “gender transformative” and “gender sensitive”. They found that women in the gender sensitive groups experienced real improvements in communication within the household and reduced domestic conflict, while those in the gender transformative groups were able to realise greater access to household decision-making and finances. Here transformation is again situated firmly in local context and discourse, with this approach aimed at giving women the tools to envisage and actualise their own empowerment. Pamphilon et al. also consider the practical outcomes of intervention. They analyse the outcomes of an educational video on gender equity for farmers with low literacy in Papua ","PeriodicalId":47576,"journal":{"name":"Development in Practice","volume":"33 1","pages":"373 - 374"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42286565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper draws on an action research project that aimed to investigate the individual and organisational drivers that contribute to, or inhibit, greater use of research in international development organisations, and test strategies to shift them. We convened a group of practitioners and researchers from 12 diverse international development organisations to undertake action research projects within their own organisations. Analysis of the portfolio of action research projects identified five organisational factors which are the basis for improving research use and 15 practical strategies for implementing organisational change. Taken together, these organisational factors and strategies can assist in improving the integration of research in international development organisations and support more evidence-based policy, programming, and advocacy.","PeriodicalId":47576,"journal":{"name":"Development in Practice","volume":"33 1","pages":"687 - 699"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47558758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most households engaged in fishing only and were net sellers. The level of market involvement for net sellers or buyers is affected by declining fish catches and lack of inputs, while the intensity of market involvement is influenced by factors such as age, the number of dependents, access to infrastructure, limitations on inputs, availability of credit, and declining catches.","PeriodicalId":47576,"journal":{"name":"Development in Practice","volume":"33 1","pages":"796 - 810"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48968921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
