Abstract:

Les difficultés de la ville de Nairobi à gérer les déchets ménagers ont conduit à une informalisation croissante de la prise en charge des ordures. La gestion des déchets dans la capitale kenyane révèle ainsi un phénomène de co-production de l’action publique urbaine, où se mêle une pluralité d’acteurs publics et privés, et une fragmentation des pouvoirs et des territoires de gestion urbains. Au-delà de l’observation profane qui décèle dans ces processus un retrait des autorités publiques et un gouvernement de la ville à l’abandon, l’analyse de la gestion des déchets de 1964 à 2002 met en fait

Abstract:

At the end of the 1920s in Kenya, Protestant Missionaries, government authorities and Christian Kikuyu clashed when missionaries sought to prohibit female circumcision among their adherents. The mission discourse emphasised the negative moral and physical effects of female circumcision on individual women, while that of the government stressed the function of female circumcision in maintaining the body-politic. The colonial discourse, as whole, is marked by a striking division between issues concerning women and those deemed political. Thus, women seldom appear as actors in historical narrativ

One is located in a semi-arid region dedicated to pastoralism and conservation, while the other two are in a moister mountain area where rain-fed and irrigation agriculture is combined with animal production.

Abstract:

The coffee crisis began with the collapse of the International Coffee Agreement which ended the quotas, consequently flooding the market. A cash crop could be an anvil upon which a society transforms itself from one form of social-economic mode of existence to another. By extension, the profile of the development of the crop, as it becomes acculturated into the receiving society can be emblematic of the mutation of the same society. The subject under study analyses the effects of the 'coffee crisis' since the late 1980s. Such a study should be cognizant of the cyclic nature of primary commodit

The primary objective of this thesis is to account for the fertility decline among Abagusii women in South-western Kenya. The motivation behind the study was based on the fact that the fertility trends associated with this group of people had not been studied before. This is surprising because the Abagusii recorded one of the world's highest total fertility rates of 10.4 in 1979 (Omosa 1994; Osiemo 1986; Oucho 1990), but has also experienced significant fertility decline.

Non-state mental health care is conceived along two axes: for-profit vs. not-for-profit and formal vs. informal.

The effect of arbitrarily dividing an already small economy was significant. It has been argued, however, that the large-scale uprooting of one community was seized on as a development opportunity, so

Funeral oratory performance is an age-old practice performed on the third day after burial (lufu), of honoured males from clans that enjoy respect from other clans because of their leadership qualities. The thesis is about the performances of John Wanyonyi Manguliechi.
