This influential approach rests on the assumption that productivity-enhancing technologies and stronger market linkages will raise farmer incomes, and in turn improve food and nutrition security (FNS) in farmer households via increased food purchases. This article tests this assumption using quantitative survey data and qualitative interviews with women farmers who participated in AVC projects in Burkina Faso, Mozambique and Côte d'Ivoire from 2016 to 2020. The survey data show that AVC participation has no statistically significant impact on household FNS or women's dietary quality, regardless of initial household income, type of crop (food, non-food), or market scale (national, regional, global). The qualitative findings explain these results more fully, and reveal major challenges for strategies to improve rural FNS through formally structured AVCs: top-down power dynamics of AVCs do not adequately address smallholders’ needs; participation in AVCs exposes smallholders, especially women, to new types of risk that inhibit their participation; and in increasingly monetized rural economies, women have other spending priorities that compete with food expenditures.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48194,"journal":{"name":"Development and Change","volume":"56 2","pages":"335-371"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144300414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article argues that the malleable nature of rice self-sufficiency has allowed this policy concept to survive dramatic shifts in development paradigms while serving diverse state objectives. Through the examination of three country cases with distinct colonial histories, agroecological conditions and development trajectories, the article explores how the flexibility of rice self-sufficiency enables states to manage the competing pressures of extending territorial control while promising rural autonomy, maintaining nationalist legitimacy while deepening global market integration, and balancing urban consumer demands with rural producer interests. This flexibility helps to explain both the durability of the concept of food self-sufficiency and the contradictory policies pursued in its name, from protectionism and state-led agricultural development to privatization and trade liberalization. A deeper understanding of the persistence of rice self-sufficiency in turn illuminates broader patterns in how state agents and policy makers deploy flexible policy concepts to navigate competing pressures while maintaining political legitimacy.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48194,"journal":{"name":"Development and Change","volume":"56 2","pages":"229-253"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144300309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Critical of the NGO/donor model, which they hold as unsustainable, such organizations are funded by corporate investment and philanthropic capital but aim for self-reliance through enlisting local actors to market social services, while providing loans, digital infrastructures and training in entrepreneurship. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Kenya, this article examines the ethos, ambitions and practices of one such enterprise operating across Africa — Healthy Entrepreneurs. This not-for-profit organization seeks to enable community health workers to become ‘health entrepreneurs’ by training them in business management and offering them a loan and mobile phone from which they order health commodities online and sell them to rural communities. Focusing on the perspectives, motivations and experiences of local managers and the entrepreneurs themselves, the article explores relations between entrepreneurism, community health work, sustainability and the ‘social good’, and the frictions surrounding them. The model of turning community health workers into entrepreneurs, which fosters competition while placing the burden of success onto the individual, shifts the ethos of community health work towards a focus on business. However, the moral economies in which community health entrepreneurs are embedded complicates this picture.</p>","PeriodicalId":48194,"journal":{"name":"Development and Change","volume":"56 2","pages":"278-305"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/dech.12877","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144299929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the Philippines, this atmosphere of violence intensified under former President Rodrigo Duterte, a political ‘strongman’ whose militarized masculinity deepened the repression of left-wing women activists and other political opposition across the country. Despite macro-level studies examining the trends and patterns behind the surge in activist harassment, the micro-politics of Duterte's misogynistic and revanchist violence towards women activists has received insufficient attention. Drawing on feminist political ecology, this article explores how and why women activists on Palawan Island and elsewhere in the Philippines continued their advocacy work as they navigated intersectional spaces of violent misogyny and government repression. It shows how women activists in Palawan drew upon hope to persevere in their work amidst the violent atmospheres stoked by authoritarian masculinity. The article describes how the temporalities of intersectional gendered violence variously impacted the lives of women activists as they defended the environment and human rights on the island, while the country's highest office legitimated toxic chauvinism as a mode of governance.</p>","PeriodicalId":48194,"journal":{"name":"Development and Change","volume":"56 1","pages":"137-171"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/dech.12872","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article contributes to the empirical literature on social protection spending by conducting a large multi-country study using the structural vector autoregression approach. The results of the study highlight the positive effects of social protection expenditures on GDP that surpass those of total government expenditures. These results vary considerably across countries, with impact multipliers ranging from 5 in Mexico to -0.71 in Paraguay. The authors find that the cumulative multiplier exceeds 1 for most of the 42 sample countries, suggesting that the positive impact of social protection spending on GDP accumulates over time. The article finds statistically significant and strong correlations between the cumulative and impact multipliers and inequality measures such as the Gini coefficient and the income shares of the poorest and the richest. Indeed, the positive impact of public spending on social protection on GDP is especially pronounced in countries characterized by higher inequality. Taken together, the results have significant policy implications and suggest that the growth-enhancing potential of social protection policies is complementary to the ability of such policies to reduce inequality.</p>","PeriodicalId":48194,"journal":{"name":"Development and Change","volume":"56 1","pages":"172-224"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/dech.12869","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It analyses sand governance in two diverse sand-mining sites in Bangladesh — one mechanized and large, and the other manual and small-scale. Drawing on in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, the study reveals that the more mechanized site faced greater regulatory challenges due to its complex web of political and economic relations, contrasting with the simpler governance dynamics of the smaller site. The findings demonstrate that power distribution among stakeholders, including local administrations, leaseholders and miners, significantly shapes governance outcomes. Tax farming, whereby leaseholders but also administrations prioritize short-term profits over sustainable practices, emerges as a critical issue. This research contributes to ongoing discussions about sand governance, advocating for a nuanced understanding of how the specific characteristics of mining contexts influence regulatory effectiveness. Ultimately, the study calls for a reform of leasing practices and governance models to improve sustainability and inclusivity in sand mining in Bangladesh and beyond. This work not only adds to the literature on artisanal and small-scale mining but also emphasizes the importance of contextualized governance frameworks in sand resource management.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48194,"journal":{"name":"Development and Change","volume":"56 1","pages":"111-136"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry, now often called a new or second Cold War, some argue that traditional donors are adopting Chinese-style practices to compete with China for developing countries’ allegiance. This article supports the convergence thesis but argues further that Chinese practices are also converging with those of traditional donors. Moreover, this convergence is on a less generous middle ground that will likely be worse for developing countries than the logic of geopolitical competition suggests. Rather than mobilizing additional resources, both sides are retrenching. This is because geopolitical competition is mediated through domestic political economy models entailing limits to providers’ generosity: China's commercial model confronts recipients’ declining repayment capacity, while traditional donors, unwilling to devote fiscal resources for aid, rely on mobilizing reluctant private finance.</p>","PeriodicalId":48194,"journal":{"name":"Development and Change","volume":"56 1","pages":"3-30"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/dech.12871","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
