This study discusses the strategies and lessons learned by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in targeting rice research toward poor women.The strategies include socio-economic research on gender issues;technology development for women-specific tasks through participatory research; collaborative research with national agricultural research systems (NARS) and networks; research-oriented training on gender analysis; organization of conferences and workshops on gender issues; recognition of female rice scientists; gender audit of research projects and appointment of a social scientist to coordinate gender-related activities.A revised conceptual framework of farming systems research and gender analysis was used to better understand the complex interrelationship between the environment (physical, socio-economic, cultural), and intra-household dynamics, particularly men and women's roles and responsibilities in rice-based farming systems.Case studies were conducted in the Philippines and eastern India.Improved seed management and adoption of improved glutinous rice varieties showed potential for increasing yields and income.Women's narratives were interwoven within the quantitative analysis to make their voices heard in the story.The most important lesson learned from the author's experience is that targeting research toward poor rural women can be an effective strategy in providing them with choices, opportunities and abilities to enhance their role as food producers. This will hopefully help improve their social and economic status

This thesis critically examines innovation systems and processes in farming communities in three provinces of ADavao Region, Philippines, in the context of a farmer-to-farmer extension approach (Magsasaka Siyentista or MS) designed to bridge gaps between research, extension, farmers and the market. Empirical case studies of three innovation systems were conducted: biogas/swine in Davao del Sur; goat fodder in Davao Oriental; and Calamansi off-season production in Compostela Valley. Innovation histories in locations with and without MS were traced through workshops, semi-structured interviews, observations and document analysis. NVivo and UCINET's Netdraw were used to facilitate data management and analysis. The study provides insights on the reality of innovation systems and processes from a grassroots perspective, thereby contributing to current theoretical and policy debates on the design and implementation of farmer-to-farmer extension. The MSs were found to be important innovation actors. They performed roles (e.g. lobbying with government agencies, initiating farmers' group formation, and linking farmers with private actors) beyond their mandates as technology promoters. Their presence in the farming communities they served was associated with the changes occurring in the areas. Their presence or absence in a farming community is a factor that makes a difference to the nature and extent of innovation processes and innovation system occurring in an area. The study suggests that the MS programme is a very promising policy option to sustain in order to fast track extension of technologies and innovations uptake. The study also finds that the key processes (network building, social learning, and negotiation and conflict management) are crucial in facilitating innovation and therefore had to be taken into account when considering the design, implementation and facilitation of innovation inititiaves. This study is significant to development and innovation actors especially in Philippine agriculture should they consider to advance 'innovations systems' thinking into national policy and organisational practice. v

This is a study about rural households making a living from a declining natural resource base and surviving in a changing rural economy in rural Philippines. Informed by the political ecology and feminist environmentalism theoretical frameworks, the study uses empirically-based theorizing to elucidate social factors that influence household resource management strategies. Interactions of class and gender relations, the coexistence of market and nonmarket relations, and the power of social networks are among the social constructs that shape the everyday choices and decisions of household resource users. The findings of this study suggest that a "technological fix" model to address resource degradation is not the answer. I conclude by stating that building social capital and engendering local control of resources are keys to sustainable natural resource management.

In developing countries, remittances play a key role as a source of external finance. Remittances are a form of aid that migrant workers send back to their families, located in their home countries, in order to support the needs of the household. In about 25% of developing countries, remittances are larger than public and private capital flows combined (International Monetary Fund, 2009). In 2008, the Philippines economy was the 47th largest economy in the world with a GDP of $322 billion dollars (Asian Development Bank, Fact Sheet). Remittances accounted for over 10% of the Philippine economy, making the Philippines one of the world’s highest remittance receiving countries. Using a probit model and an OLS regression model focusing on the Philippines in 2003, this paper will focus on exploring what variables influence the decision to send a household member away for work, what factors contribute to whether or not a household receives a remittance and if they do, how these same characteristics affect the value of the remittance.

Resumo:

The complexities of human and technical elements involved in rural barangay transformation and the adoption of agroforestry innovations in the Philippines are explored through case studies conducted in Aklan. Seven months' fieldwork was undertaken in 1998 while living in Sibalew, Feliciano and Linayasan, where the Aklan State College of Agriculture (ASCA) introduced demonstration projects. Participatory Rural Appraisal was conducted with locals, staff of ASCA and others to explore social, cultural, political, economic and technical factors, and the changes to rural lifestyles, when demonstration projects were introduced. Qualitative, descriptive analysis compared and contrasted their ideas and opinions. The results are presented in two case studies which identified conditions that hindered the adoption of new technologies. Concentrated development in one area, over a long period, facilitated diversification of farming methods, created new economic activities, built social networks, established institutional alliances and introduced urban lifestyles. The complexity of life increased. However, changes threatened traditional cultural practices and the natural environment. Gender issues and unequal power relations impeded access to and control of resources. For short-term projects, there is an increased likelihood of major obstacles preventing success. Unique barangay features and a variety of economic conditions affected the full participation of locals. The leadership style of local officials and institutional alliances also determined the results of rural development. This research shows how necessary it is to analyse and understand important cultural values, local politics and traditional practices if development programmes are to achieve their real potential. The conclusion of the thesis indicated that successful rural development projects depend on complex elements associated with the cultural practices of locals, the leadership of local officials, and alliances between development institutions and linkage agencies combining in a given social and political situation to advance/impede development. The process of development seeks constantly for new approaches that are appropriate to the needs of locals' social, economic and political conditions, and that suit the geographical location. The changing social and natural environments challenge the current state of rural development in the Philippines.

The post World War II period saw a general downward trend in mortality throughout Asia and Latin America (Arriaga, 1981; Sivamurthy, 1981; Ruzicka and Hansluwka, 1982 ). In some of the countries of Asia, the decline was unprecedentedly fast during the immediate post World War II years (Sivamurthy, 1981). Similarly, in most countries of Latin America, a substantial increase in life expectancy at birth was noted in the 1950s (Arriaga, 1981). However, in the late 1960s and during the 1970s, a slowing down of the rate of mortality decline was observed in many of the less developed countries. In some countries, the deceleration occurred when the levels of life expectancy attained were still below the maximum levels achieved by some developed societies (United Nations, 1973; Arriaga, 1981; Ruzicka and Hansluwka, 1982). The growing evidence of a stagnation of mortality decline at low levels of life expectancy in less developed countries over the past decade or so has prompted national and international groups to critically assess the social and economic policies affecting health in these countries (United Nations, 1984).

China is experiencing massive rural-urban migration. The departure of young adults from rural areas poses challenges to traditional old age support arrangements in rural China. Concerning the practice of Confucian filial piety within the context of rural-urban migration, this study aims to explore the extent and dynamics of support among migrant workers' older parents in rural China. By employing a qualitative approach, this study carried out 29 semi-structured interviews in two rural villages and revealed the changing nature of filial piety in modern rural China in the context of rural-urban migration. First, it found that in the wake of rural adult children's migration, an increasing number of rural older parents have begun to spend their old age co-residing with their migrant children in cities. Second, the study reshapes our understanding of the relationship between the land and rural older people's need for physical support. Besides, the study casts light on rural older parents' help-seeking behaviour, revealing the dynamics of their efforts to seek support both from their families and their local communities. findings provide insights for policy makers into ways of improving rural older people's well-being. Further, given China's special social and economic characteristics, this study contributes to enhancing our understanding of support for older people in the context of children's immigration.

The response of small scale agricultural producers in the Philippines to livelihood threats arising from market integration has received less attention than responses to other threats. The ability of agricultural producers to respond to changes in their production environment is an important component of livelihood resilience. This research unravels the patterns of livelihood response used by small scale agricultural producers in the Philippines affected by livelihood threats resulting from changes in their production environment as a result of agricultural trade liberalisation. Research was conducted at the household level using a sustainable livelihoods based approach in order to examine the following research questions: (1) Does current livelihood and disaster theory adequately account for and explain the diverse livelihood options pursued by small scale agricultural producers facing threats based on deterioration?; (2) Are current distinctions between different patterns of responses and the rationale of such responses appropriate?; (3) Are current research methods adequate to the task of picking out individualized patterns and rationales of response?; and (4) What is the role of historical factors (institutional and personal) of past events – in moulding patterns of response? Findings from this study contribute to the limited existing empirical data on livelihood strategies in Mindanao. In particular the research shows that while current research methods capture the various livelihood activities that people engage in, they tend to take a static view of livelihoods, failing to capture the complexity of historical influences on livelihoods and livelihood pathways over time. The findings from the study also demonstrate that factors beyond context which are embedded in personal circumstance play a significant role in the rationale and patterns of livelihood response used by small scale producers in the research sites. The implications of these findings are considered from a wider policy and practice perspective and recommendations as regards the future directions of current research methods are presented.

Resumo:

This research addresses two themes: water scarcity and water resource management in the Philippines. Since 2004 the Philippines had been involved in the meeting the country’s Millennium Development Goal’s safe water target. Significant improvements have been achieved in access to drinking water in the rural areas, increasing coverage from 73 per cent to 91 per cent in 2012. Despite this achievement, there are still approximately 4.5 million rural residents in the country without access to safe water. I use the persistence of waterlessness in rural Philippines as a lens to examine the problems of the standardized approach to rural water provision in the Philippines. The core research question informing the research is: how do the conceptualisations of water scarcity by the households and the institutions that are tasked to manage it influence water access? I use ethnographic methodologies combined with mapping techniques to examine the experiences of rural villagers in three different case study sites that were identified as water scarce/waterless in the Province of Agusan del Sur in Mindanao in the Southern Philippines. These three villages characterize three landscapes (uplands, lowlands and wetlands) that face distinctive types of water scarcity issues. The empirical exploration of people’s experiences gives rise to questions how a basic service such as domestic water supply is provisioned by the state. In this regard, the communities’ practices of accessing and using water, government practices of providing water in the villages and the biophysical conditions of the area are points of interest. The case studies reveal that standardized approach to water scarcity, which assumes the communities’ water problems relate to lack of investment and infrastructure and mostly focusing on engineering solutions to provide groundwater, fails to address the concerns of the local people who perceived water scarcity in different ways than the government agencies. In some cases it does not work because it is not technically possible due to the site’s geology and hydrology, in others it does not address the problem of inadequacy of water for domestic needs of the community, or in some its salinity is unacceptable for the community. The study demonstrates the importance of examining the specific context of situations where water access is an issue. It also shows the value of ethnographic methodology in such research.

This dissertation is geared toward a deeper understanding of the complexity of the multiple positions of women in the â Third World,â and on how these positions create, sustain, and reproduce inequalities. I examine class inequality among employed women in the Philippines in the context of mistress-maid employment relationship. Using feminist fieldwork approaches, my gatekeeper, Merly, and I conducted extensive interviews and focus groups with thirty-one maids and ten mistresses between May and August 2000 in a medium-sized city in the Philippines. Recorded interviews were transcribed and processed using QSR NUD*IST N4. Domestic workers, who started as child laborers, live in their mistressesâ homes where they perform household chores and carework. Aside from their â job description,â they carry out additional tasks within and outside the household. The maidsâ relationship with their mistresses is based on maternalism, in which the mistresses integrate them into the family, engage in gift giving, provide educational support, but at the same time, control their bodies, times, spaces, and relationships. Except in cases where maternalist behavior becomes violent, both maids and mistresses approve of maternalism. In looking at the factors that may contribute to the mistressesâ maternalist behavior, this study found that mistresses who are subordinate relative to their spouses and their workplaces are more likely than those who are not subordinate to engage in maternalist behavior with their maids. As maids prefer maternalist relationship with their mistresses, they accommodate their mistressesâ dominating tendencies. When reprimanded, they respond through culture-specific rituals of subordination. However, when their threshold of tolerance is breached, they apply a combination of subtle and blatant resisting strategies. Younger maids perceive domestic work as a stepping-stone toward a more comfortable future, while older maids view it as a dead-end occupation. From a global standpoint, class mobility is examined based on the domestic workers dialectic positions within the international division of reproductive labor. Throughout this dissertation, womenâ s inequality in the context of mistress-maid relations were analyzed from various angles, shifting the analysis from micro to macro dynamics; from class to the intersection of gender, ethnicity, age, and class; and from local to global. In addition to providing a sociological understanding of this phenomenon, I put the varied voices of â Third World womenâ at the forefront of this study.

Resumo:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the social, economic and other impacts of the Pilot Provincial Agricultural Extension Project (PP AEP), an Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) project in the villages of Luyong Bonbon and Pagalungan, Misamis Oriental, Philippines. This study has examined the literature related to technology transfer in agriculture, the notion of appropriate technology and Australia's current development program in the Philippines. This study utilises a multiple case study of qualitative methodology. The Group Ecology Model (GEM) is utilised as a conceptual framework of this study and the process/ outcome matrix is utilised to analyse the data from a qualitative perspective. This study reveals that Australia's development assistance program in the Philippines as reflected by the success of the PP AEP, has increased agricultural productivity and enhanced the social and economic conditions of marginal farmers and fishermen in the two villages. The key to the project's success is the transfer of appropriate technology. Appropriate technology is transferred through the project's participatory approach which involves a close coordination and cooperation of all sectors of government, Rural Based Organisations (RBOs) and Non Government Organisations (NGOs). Moreover, PP AEP has increased the awareness for environmental protection in both villages and enhanced the employment of women in its activities. The strategy of participatory approach adopted by PPAEP is effective in development activities of government. Skills development is equally as important are technological and financial inputs. This study reveals that the general concerns apparent in the two villages are financial and infrastructure. The study reveals that financial constraints can be a hindrance to the project's sustainability while infrastructure problems can cause delays in development. It is suggested that project implementors continue to replicate PPAEP's participatory approach to development in its future projects. Funding constraints and infrastructure problems can be resolved through dose supervision and coordination of the governments of Australia and the Philippines in its current and future projects.

Despite extensive research into China’s migrant workers, little is known about their happiness levels, particularly in the cultural and social context of China. Based on hedonic and eudaimonic theories, this study explores the happiness of China’s migrant workers in terms of subjective wellbeing, mental health, and self-actualisation, in addition to contrasting it with that of urban residents, by analysing 45 semi-structured interviews and 600 questionnaires conducted in Shanghai in 2014. The major findings are as follows: (1) migrant workers’ definition of happiness primarily focuses on their family lives, especially their children, and not particularly on themselves; (2) migrant workers’ definition of happiness is significantly influenced by traditional Confucian culture, while this is less true for urban residents; (3) demographic variables, i.e. gender, age, education, marital status, income, working hours, and number of children, appear to have no discernible effect on migrant workers’ happiness levels, except for housing status and length of residence; (4) seven factors affect the happiness levels of migrant workers: material wealth; meeting the basic psychological needs of relatedness; mental health; social environment; meeting the basic psychological needs of competence; family life; and job and career; (5) a happy migrant worker is one who has a healthy mind, satisfactory material conditions and relatedness needs, a basic level of satisfaction with the social environment, and a higher degree of satisfaction with his/her family life, job, and competence; (6) there is a happiness gap between migrant workers and urban residents, and distinctions in material wellbeing regarding income, social welfare, and housing are the main drivers of such a disparity. With regard to Chinese urbanisation, building an equal and free Chinese society, lowering property prices, improving migrant workers’ satisfaction with their material conditions, and improving migrant workers’ education and professional skills would best promote migrant workers’ happiness; (7) two theoretical models – ‘Mapping Chinese Happiness’ and ‘The Cupcake Model’ – are proposed to generalise the characteristics and influential factors of Chinese people’s happiness.

Resumo:

Studies have shown that emergency mental health trauma (EMHT) services can significantly reduce the long-term effects of trauma after a disaster. However, rural municipalities may find they do not have the capacity to create such a service, or may not realize that their disaster planning includes no provision for emergency mental health care. Such was the case in a rural island community in the state of Washington, where, in 2014, several residents initiated a discussion that helped to identify the community's lack of EMHT services. This project, framed by action research and based on collaboration theory, sought to advance the potential for the community's 21 resident social workers to address this issue collaboratively. Accordingly, the project's research question asked how social workers on south Whidbey Island perceived the issue of a rural EMHT service in their community. Data consisted of responses from 8 participants who completed mailed questionnaires and participated in brief telephone interviews. Descriptive coding analysis of the data confirmed a nearly universal lack of knowledge about an EMHT service, a clear perception of the need for such a service, and a unanimous commitment from the respondents to participate in addressing this problem. Such collaborative activity is expected to have a positive impact on the micro, mezzo, and macro levels of social work practice in south Whidbey, as well as on the community itself, not only in spearheading a dialogue about EMHT but also in activating a group of social workers who had no prior association.

The purpose of this study is to explore and describe the experiences of a specific group of arts workers in an isolated rural community in the South West of Western Australia. These participants have all worked in the community as arts workers for an extended period of time. Through phenomenological research, the telling of these workers stories, it is anticipated that the research will highlight, strengthen and enrich the political and economic positions of these workers. The study is based on the assumptions and pre-conceptions that geographical and cultural isolation contributes to significant problems and situations such as communication that the workers can have when organising, co-ordinating and funding community arts projects. The current theories of ‘lifelong learning’ are discussed and evidenced through the experience of the research participants. Although generalisations are not appropriate based on form, style and philosophical paradigm of this research, certain implications are evidenced through the participants responses, opinions and experiences. The study is conducted within a qualitative research paradigm. Phenomenology is the methodology used in this study. As such the lived experiences and perceptions of the research participants are described. Open-ended interviews were conducted.

This article examines the case of Filipina women that substitute for Filipina migrant workers. Through semi-structured interviews in the Philippines this study draws attention to the experiences of the ‘stand-in’ women and demonstrates how the organisation of care in the transnational families is based on a system whereby female family members or friends are ascribed with a ‘natural’ responsibility to become social reproductive stand-ins for the migrated mothers. In the global transfer of social reproduction, hierarchies of women are maintained, based on intersectional power structures such as ethnicity, race, nationality, age, and class. But the stand-in women in the three-tier transfer of reproductive labour, or global care chain, do not always occupy one single position, but actually shift in time and place between ‘the middle’ and ‘the bottom’ of the hierarchy. Regardless of location, Filipina women remain under the burden of their gendered duties and whether working abroad as domestic workers or acting as local stand-ins, they have to take on both local and global social reproductive work. They become the breadwinner in their families, at the same time as they are ascribed natural responsibility for households and families, as wives, mothers and stand-ins ‘at home’.

Cette thèse contribue à la connaissance du fonctionnement du marché du crédit rural dans les pays en développement en portant un intérêt particulier au rôle des groupes. Les succès de la microfinance dans la provision, viable financièrement, de services financiers aux pauvres sont en effet largement attribués à l'utilisation de groupes de prêts. Au-delà de la participation à des groupes de microcrédit, la participation à des groupes structurés de toute sorte attise l'intérêt des acteurs de développement car elle est perçue comme un moyen privilégié pour les ménages pauvres d'accumuler une forme particulière de capital : le capital social.
Mes analyses sont développées à partir de deux pays dont la structure du marché du crédit rural diffère largement : le Bangladesh et les Philippines. Le marché du crédit rural au Bangladesh est caractérisé par la présence massive des institutions de microfinance, institutions qui sont quasiment absentes aux Philippines. Cette différence de structure du marché du crédit a motivé les deux axes de recherche de ma thèse qui privilégie une approche micro-économétrique. Un premier axe approfondit la question des déterminants de la performance de remboursement (probabilité de remboursement à temps et durée des retards) des institutions de microfinance au Bangladesh. Le second axe de recherche est consacré aux contraintes de crédit aux Philippines. J'explore ainsi l'étendue et les facteurs explicatifs des contraintes de crédit avant d'analyser les motifs de participation à divers types de groupes et de déterminer si cette participation permettait de desserrer les contraintes de crédit.

Sammanfattning Denna kvalitativa undersökning handlar om hur yrkesverksamma socionomer upplever arbetet med utsatta människor i mindre samhällen. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur det kan vara att jobba inom det sociala arbetet på mindre orter och de olika omständigheter, fördelar och utmaningar det kan innebära. Undersökningen genomfördes på sex socionomer i mindre kommuner för att ta reda på hur de upplever och uttrycker sitt arbete utifrån aspekter som etiska riktlinjer, sekretess, anonymitet och lokalkännedom. I studien användes tidigare forskning på området och de teoretiska utgångspunkter studien utgått ifrån är systemteori och ekosystemteori. Författarna av studien använde ett målinriktat urval för att få tag i intervjupersoner som arbetar i kommuner i Norr och Västerbotten med en befolkning från 2000 upp till 12 000 invånare. Kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer var den datainsamlingsmetod som användes i undersökningen. Intervjuerna analyserades därefter med tematisk analys. Slutsatsen från undersökningen visar att intervjupersonerna upplevde att det sociala arbetet i mindre samhällen kan ha vissa specifika egenskaper, fördelar och utmaningar till skillnad från arbetet i större städer. Aspekter som etik, sekretess, anonymitet och lokalkännedom kan vara svårare att förhålla sig till och de kan påverka arbetet och utövningen i mindre samhällen.

This thesis is about exploring possibilities for improving the situation of a rural community in the Philippines. The philosophy. theories and assumptions underlying are discussed. This research which fulfilled its primary intent of fostering change through action also served as a verification of the value and usefulness of a Participatory Systemic Action Research. The role of participation in an emancipatory process is highlighted. The research process, following the methodological framework of Soft Systems Methodology, is described. Based upon the experience of a participative research, a critique of the Soft Systems Methodology is forwarded. The emergent outcomes of the research are also discussed

The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of a natural disaster on the mental health of a rural Maya community in the Philippines. Specifically, the study assessed how an individual’s housing conditions, the household size, and general utilities can have an impact on a person’s mental health. The study used a quantitative survey design with self-administered questionnaires. Center for Disease Control and Prevention Modified Community Assessment survey was used for this research investigation. A total of 84 participants completed the survey. Participants were asked of their perceptions regarding the habitability of their own homes, the safety of their homes, whether there was mold or water damage, the size of the household, whether the household was harboring guest and the presence of general utilities such as: running water, electricity, garbage pickup, natural gas, sewage service, and cell. Descriptive (e.g. mean and frequency,), chi-squares tests, and t-test were used to analyze the data. Findings of the study showed that there was a relationship between safety of the home, the presence of mold, water damage, and running water and whether one develops symptoms of anxiety/stress. The study also found a relationship amongst garbage pickup, sewage service and whether one develops symptoms of agitated behavior. Findings of the study suggest a need for advocacy to implement mental health programs as a relief effort to disaster victims.

This thesis addresses a neglected aspect in the emotional labour literature by seeking to identify the impact of societal culture on how service workers perform emotional labour and its effect on their wellbeing, in terms of the emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation dimensions of burnout. Its original contribution lies in using respondents residing in two contrasting cultures, the Philippines and Australia. The research instrument brings together the INDCOL survey, Emotional Labour Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and job autonomy questions from the Job Diagnostic Survey. Data is analysed from 734 surveys completed by guest-contact workers; hypotheses are tested using the independent samples t-test in SPSS. Meaningful results mainly emerge from comparing responses filtered according to how respondents describe themselves on the INDCOL dimensions rather than by their countries of residence, highlighting the importance of identifying individual-level differences within societies rather than relying on overall descriptions of culture, for such comparative purposes. Respondents report higher levels of burnout when using surface-acting more frequently, and lower levels of burnout when using deep-acting more often. Further, they report similar levels of deep-acting and burnout, and those who report high job autonomy also report lower levels of burnout. Higher levels of burnout are reported by individualists who use surface-acting more frequently. The significance of these findings is the emergence of similar results among respondents in the contrasting culture of the Philippines. The final key finding is that respondents who perform high levels of emotional labour and who experience high job autonomy report less depersonalisation in Australia than the Philippines. Overall, these findings support the usefulness of applying culturally sensitive HRD interventions in the Philippines as well as Australia, to increase the ability of service workers to perform sincere emotional labour and replace negative consequences with positive outcomes for workers, customers and hotels.

This thesis explores male peasant workers’ identity formation in contemporary post-Mao China. It is a qualitative study of 28 male peasant workers. Adopting an interpretivist perspective, this thesis uses a multi-method approach, including life histories, ethnography and discourse analysis. A primary purpose is to address the absence of male peasant workers from the literature on gender and migration as a gendered category and the reductive public representation of them through government and media images. In response, the thesis argues for the need to address the men’s self-representation in the construction of their dislocated masculine identities. There is a specific focus on their gendered experiences within the family and the workplace. The thesis examines the interconnections between gender, class and other social categories. A key argument is that the men’s narratives serve to challenge the assumptions of elite commentators that the rural men’s low status is a result of their continuing to occupy a traditional cultural habitus and thus failing to take up a modern urban identity and lifestyle. Such a position assumes that tradition and modernity exist in an oppositional logic, with the former being displaced by the latter. In contrast, my empirical work clearly illustrates a more complex picture. The male peasant workers deploy traditional cultural practices, such as xiao (dao) (filial piety), as a resource to develop ‘modern’ masculine identities as urban workers.

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are an integral part of the rural health system, and it is imperative that their voices are accommodated in digital health projects. In the mobile health education project discussed in this thesis (The Bophelo Haeso project), we sought to find ways to amplify CHWs' voices, enabling them to directly influence design and research processes as well as technological outcomes. The Bophelo Haeso (BH) project equips CHWs with health videos on their mobile phones to use for educating and counselling the rural public. We investigated how to best co-design, with CHWs, a feedback mechanism atop the basic BH health education model, thus enabling their voices in the design process and in the process of community education. This thesis chronicles this inclusive design and research process - a 30-month process that spanned three sub-studies: an 18-month process to co-design the feedback mechanism with CHWs, a 12-month deployment study of the feedback mechanism and, overlapping with the feedback deployment study, a 17-month study looking at the consumption patterns of the BH educational videos. This work contributes to the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) in three distinct ways. First, it contributes to the growing knowledge of co-design practice with participants of limited digital experience by introducing a concept we termed co-design readiness. We designed and deployed explorative artefacts and found that by giving CHWs increased technical, contextual, and linguistic capacity to contribute to the design process, they were empowered to unleash their innate creativity, which in turn led to more appropriate and highly-adopted solutions. Secondly, we demonstrate the efficacy of incorporating an effective village-to-clinic feedback mechanism in digital health education programs. We employed two approaches to feedback - asynchronous voice and roleplaying techniques. Both approaches illustrate the combined benefits of implementing creative methods for effective human-to-technology and human-tohuman communication in ways that enable new forms of expression. Finally, based on our longitudinal study of video consumption, we provide empirical evidence of offline video consumption trends in health education settings. We present qualitative and quantitative analyses of video-use patterns as influenced by the CHWs' ways of being and working. Through these analyses, we describe CHWs and their work practices in depth. In addition to the three main contributions, this thesis concludes with critical reflections from the lessons and experiences of the 30-month study. We discuss the introduction of smartphones in rural villages, especially among elderly, low-literate, and non-English-speaking users, and present guidelines for designing relevant and usable smartphones for these populations. The author also reflects on her position as an African-born qualitative researcher in Africa, and how her positionality affected the outcomes of this research.
