Honor Fagan, Suzanne Linnane, Kevin G. McGuigan, and Albert I. RugumayoAbstractThis is a book about community-based research in the service of improving the sustainability and equity of safe water production, consumption, and management at community level in rural Uganda. It provides an account of the findings of a five-year combined social science, natural science, and engineering research work programme (2009â€"14) which took place within and with the community, in the sense that the community identified their water needs and related their everyday struggles with water resourcing to the research team, and they contributed to the outcomes. Our research programme began 14 years after the Ugandan government enacted the 1995 Water Statute (which provided the framework for the use, protection, and management of water resources and supply, the constitution of water authorities, and the devolution of water supply undertakings), 10 years after the 1999 National Water Policy was rolled out, and six years short of the delivery date for the Millennium Development Goals on water.Keywords: sustainability, research capacity building, water, equity, rural povertyThe projectThe programme of research which forms the basis of this book was Water is Life: Amazzi Bulamu, supported by Irish Aid/Higher Education Authority funding for research capacity building around sustainable water development. It involved the creation of a partnership between Irish third-level institutes and the University of Makerere in Uganda to involve Ugandan-based and Irish-based teams of academics in training Ugandan or Ugandan-based researchers to doctoral level in the practical action setting of a poor rural community.

Descripción de la tienda

Pigeonhouse Books is a private Dublin archive of the unusual and the hard-to-find. We specialise in bringing to market items that have never before appeared for sale to online book-lovers. Volumes such as low-circulation Irish local histories, programmes for seminal theatrical performances, influential 20th century political pamphlets, and important government and agency literature of enormous value to researchers have been dispatched to every corner of the globe with love and care from Dublin. Pigeonhouse Books also maintains a familiar and popular presence at local book fairs in Ireland, where some of the rarest and most interesting volumes from Irish history and literature are selected from our shelves. Customers often find it convenient to collect their orders from us at these events in person, where a rummage among our boxes and some book-chat are features of the book-fair scene. Details are announced in advance on www.pigeonhousebooks.com. Pigeonhouse Books was founded by journalist and historian Ruraidh Conlon O'Reilly and operates from the city centre of Dublin, UNESCO city of literature. It is in sight of the famous Pigeon House generating station, serving book-lovers, collectors and academia from a location with no shortage of friendly local pigeons.
