Changing Rural Ethiopia: Community Transformations

Changing Rural Ethiopia: Community Transformations

Catherine Dom
5/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
This book documents transformation in twenty rural communities in Ethiopia, that have changed almost beyond recognition, in complex ways with different implications for various people--men and women, adults and youth, rich and poor. The communities have become less rural through urbanisation and more outward-looking, including through labour migration. The local economies have become more diversified, offering opportunities for entrepreneurial individuals and greater participation of women. At the same time inequalities have risen and young people's aspirations have grown with more educational opportunities. However, youth face increased challenges in improving their livelihoods and transitioning to adulthood. The expansion in health care is important, particularly for young women, mothers and babies, though girls still face a range of risks in growing up, and poverty and remoteness affect the wellbeing of mothers and infants. This book will appeal to policymakers, practitioners, donors and academics seeking to understand Ethiopia today through the experiences of the majority of its people who still live beyond the major conurbations; and the ways their lives have evolved over the last twenty years.



"Trade by itself is a channel to contact many people, and through it linkages increase and this leads to co-operation. People in the network are good to support each other. For innstance, if I lack money to finance trade for a particular profitable product, there is an opportunity to contact one of the [other] traders and get money."- Vaughan 502

"Inovation includes endogenous development, social learning, concerted action, emergence from interaction and institutional change."-Yinnager Dessie, 2012: 8) Vaughan 506

"[...]it also matters who is doing the looking [for innovative outliers who succeed against the odds, and the lessons from their positive deviance]. The community must make the discovery itself -- it's no use external 'experts' coming in, spottingn [positive deviance] and turingn it innto a toolkit. [...] PD meanns learninngn to 'spot the novel in the familiar' [...] Vaughan 519
