Title A name given to the resource A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF WOMEN’S LAND RIGHTS IN ASIA, LATIN AMERICA AND SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TAVONGA NJAYA Description An account of the resource The study sought to make a systematic and critical comparative analysis of the distribution of land between men and women in the three regions of Asia, Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa in order to establish if there was any discrimination against women using a gender approach (or analysis). In the study, the focus was on use rights in state-owned land or resettlement land and a critical evaluation on whether these rights were differentiated and distributed on the basis of sex. The study used archival data and document reviews. The analysis was based on farms or land acquired by governments and later redistributed to smallholder farmers. Studies in the three regions showed that women were considered a marginalised social group in land ownership although slightly better conditions were observed in Latin America. A majority of the studies blamed customary, religious and statutory laws but failed to estimate the relative importance of these variables in explaining the gendered pattern of land distribution. Women’s lower access to land in the three regions increased women’s economic dependency on men and consequently made them more vulnerable to socio- economic and environmental shocks Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Journal of Studies in Social Sciences and Humanities Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/aea4866e41718f011b0a816cb341d641.pdf 7ab276240f5dbfee84cd678e18775f88 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource POLITICAL PARTIES Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DR. S. B. M. MARUME DR. A. S. CHIKASHA PROF. D. NDUDZO Description An account of the resource olitical Science studies domestic politics of a state or states, and contains political dynamics as one of its sub-fields of study which in turn has as one of its sub-sub-fields – political parties, a special topic for examination of this article. As a factual statement, political parties occupy an important place and play a significant role in the governmental process of a state having democratic political institutions. However, in countries with government systems characterized by a combination of authorization, a term which signifies non- democratic government, and democratic parties; parties resembling those found in democracies are likely to develop, but their importance depends on the degree to which representatives of the people are permitted to participate in the determination of governmental policy. Under thoroughly authoritarian governments the right to organize parties is either denied or confined to the membership of the ruling oligarchy. Consequently, party systems of the type which operate in a democratic or partly democratic environment fail to materialize. As events of the twentieth and 20th centuries and 21st centuries have demonstrated, authoritarian governments may be controlled by the leaders of an organization, known as a party, which monopolizes the field of organized political activity. Examples are the Communist Party of the former Russia; the Communist Party of China; and the socialist Party of Cuba under Fidel is Castro. Cases of this kind are often attributable to a combination of authoritarianism and totalitarianism. And in this article consideration is first given to the nature of political parties, to different varieties of parties, and to the functions which parties normally perform. Thereafter the discussion covers such matters as the character of party organization, the several kinds of party systems, and the reasons why political parties are invaluable in a democracy Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 authoritarian government authoritarianism and totalitarianism democracy political dynamics political participation political parties https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/9479cc5b8829c3ebe12d250fe1b427df.pdf d9d4c8c70f314377c371ee89d4f877a5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource REVITALISING TRANSFORMATIONAL GOVERNANCE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: PERSPECTIVES FROM KENYA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource JOSEPH AKUMA MISATI EDWARD ONTITA Description An account of the resource Efficient delivery of public services in Kenya and other developing countries has for long been hindered by highly centralised governments. Recognising the need to achieve high economic growth and reduce poverty-related inequalities, Kenyans persistently pushed for enhanced decentralisation of governance and development. In response, government has over time initiated numerous reforms, key among them the Vision 2030 blue print and a new constitution aimed at strengthening institutional capacities to improve service delivery, enhance economic governance and promote citizen participation. Despite the gains made, more needs to be done to enhance maximum direct participation of citizens. This paper documents the reforms and their resultant impact on social development in Kenya. It is argued that while decentralisation is a multi-faceted concept comprising three key typologies: Devolution, De-concentration and Participation, the prevailing decentralisation initiatives in the past ignored the key element of citizen participation leading to “public departicipation”. It is recommended that mainstreaming transformational leadership, prudent utilisation of devolved funds and institutionalisation of transformed and reformed national and county governance structures characterised by high-level executive capability consistent with a rapidly industrialising country is prioritised. Adoption of e-governance leading to honesty and transparency will facilitate the necessary transformative platform for the public sphere.

Title A name given to the resource PEACEBUILDING AND CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION: A STUDY OF TRADITIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource MBWIRIRE JOHN Description An account of the resource Beginning from the early 2000s, communities in Zimbabwe witnessed the worst forms of politically motivated violence by state agents as well as civilian on civilian clashes at grassroots levels. Efforts to resolve contemporary Zimbabwean politically motivated conflicts are proving difficult if not impossible. This is caused by the efforts which are mainly top-down and conventional in nature. The application of local traditional awareness and procedures in conflict resolution and conflict transformation has been very negligible as many prefer the contemporary law court system. The study assessed the effectiveness of traditional institutions in peacebuilding and conflict transformation in Mashonaland Central Province at grassroots levels. The study adopted a mixed methods approach in obtaining data from the field. A targeted population of 518 634 people above the age of 18 which included traditional leaders’ council and community members was used. A sample comprising five traditional chiefs who were key informants participated through in-depth interviews, 65 members of the chiefs’ council members participated through focus group discussions and 250 community members were respondents to questionnaires. The study found that traditional institutions were not effective when dealing with politically motivated conflicts. Traditional institutions were effective in dealing with other forms of conflicts emanating from land disputes and social disputes. Considerably, traditional practices of peacebuilding and conflict transformation are cultural and community specific. Despite facing economic, social, political and land challenges as well as having operational weaknesses, traditional institutions have practical mechanisms of promoting peaceful co-existence at grassroots levels. The study recommended that traditional institutions should be mainstreamed in all processes of conflict management, peacebuilding and conflict transformation.

Title A name given to the resource THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HUMAN RIGHTS SUPPORT PROGRAMMES IN ZIMBABWEAN PRISONS: A CASE STUDY OF THE ZIMBABWE PRISONS AND CORRECTIONAL SERVICE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource OBEY JASI MBWIRIRE JOHN Description An account of the resource This research study outlined the effectiveness of human rights support programmes offered by Non-Governmental Organisations at Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service in the Harare Metropolitan Province. ZPCS had formed partnerships with NGOs to address human rights issues concerning incarcerated prisoners. A mixed research methodology approach was employed, gathering data from correctional officers, NGO representatives, inmates and independent commissions. A quantitative sample of 300 participants was drawn using probability sampling, while a subsequent qualitative sample of 60 was purposively selected from a population of 894. The research utilised self-structured questionnaires and key informant interviews. The findings indicate a strong understanding of human rights among participants. However, the majority perceive the human rights support programmes as ineffective. Key challenges identified include a pervasive atmosphere of mistrust between ZPCS and NGOs, a lack of tailored interventions and inadequate internal capacity within ZPCS to manage these programmes effectively. The study recommends establishing a central human rights coordinating office at the ZPCS national headquarters, developing a comprehensive organisational human rights policy and conducting thorough needs analyses prior to programme implementation. These steps aim to enhance collaboration, improve the alignment of NGO activities with ZPCS’s needs, and ultimately strengthen the protection of human rights for inmates.
