|
While Vocational Education and Training (VET) systems are increasingly seen as an important element of national socio-economic strategies internationally, the field of VET has been badly neglected in southern Africa, especially given the donor fascination with basic education since the World Conference on Education for All in 1990. Internationally VET in particular has been identified as an imp...

The context and rationale for this study are the current democratization process and commitment to good governance on the African continent. Against the background of democratization in Africa, traditional forms of authority have come back into the spotlight of interest, especially with respect to the role of chiefs as an intermediary between the state and the citizen. The current opportunities...

The link between security and development has been rediscovered after 9/11 by a broad range of scholars. Focussing on southern Africa, The Security-Development Nexus shows that the much-debated linkage is by no means a recent invention. Rather, the security/development linkage has been an important element of the state policies of colonial as well as post-colonial regimes during the Cold War, a...

Chisholm, L. (2008) Economic growth and curriculum reform in southern Africa. NORRAG news. 40:62-64.
|
This paper focuses on the adoption of learner-centred education as a major curriculum innovation to address political and economic goals in the 1990s in southern Africa. It argues that sustainability has been far from the centre of concern despite statements to the contrary within either national curricular or aid agency statements of policy intent.

This article explores policy and curriculum diffusion in southern and eastern Africa through an examination of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and outcomes-based education.

The food crisis in southern Africa, with its many correlated aspects among which the impact of HIV/AIDS appears particularly compelling, is proving to be, as it unfolds, one of the most serious challenges, if not the most fundamental one the sub-region has been confronted with over a long period of time; it can be argues that the present situation as the population's well being is concerned, be...

Property-grabbing from widows and orphans began long before the HIV and AIDS pandemic. However, the scale of HIV infection rates, stigmatisation, and the social and economic vulnerability of widows and orphans have worsened the situation. Targets of psychological and physical harassment, dispossessed of their property and evicted form their homes, women and children are left destitute.

Coping with immigration and urbanisation in a rapidly globalising environment is one of the policy issues facing many governments, yet the complexity of migration makes it difficult for planners to understand its causes and plan for its consequences.
In this wide-ranging work, prominent migration scholars provide insight into the current dynamics and determinants of both immigration and mig...

South African multinationals in Southern Africa are opening new possibilities for regional trade unionism. With South Africa's democratization in the 1990s, pent-up capital in South Africa expanded northwards into Southern Africa and beyond. Their impact has been significant.

There is arguably a strong link between poverty and the lived experiences of women and girls, particularly those in rural areas. This is exacerbated by gender inequalities and the social status of women in these communities, which prescribe how individuals and groups negotiate their daily interactions.

The peace dividend in southern Africa may serve to underpin NEPAD's bid for economic growth and development. However, it is by no means so clear that the region is embarked upon an unambiguous progression towards the consolidation of democracy. Indeed, there are deeply worrying indications that the democratic wave which broke upon the region's shores in the 1990s is now moving into reverse. ...
