Description:This book evaluates the performance of the Sorghum and Millet Introduction Program (SMIP) in the Machakos District of Eastern Kenya, paying particular attention to women in their households and communities. It warns against generalizing about "Third World Women" and "subsistence farmers" and shows the importance of paying attention to culture to understand people's actions, resistance and preferences. Deep-rooted differences between the unconscious assumptions of "donors" and "recipients" may result in breakdowns in development cooperation.One incorrect assumption about Machakos' Akamba people is that they are subsistence farmers, with women doing most of the farming jobs, while male out-migration to towns results in a high portion of poor female-headed and female-operated households. Refuting this and other assumptions, the authors put forward practical suggestions for improving the program's success in introducing drought-resistant crops in Eastern Kenya's arid and semi-arid lands.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
