Maar over het geheel genomen was de wateren graassituatie voor de grotendeels nomadische veeteelt bij het begin van de kleine regens van 2010 al tamelijk slecht, waren de beesten er niet goed aan toe en was de lokale economie in de hele regio van en rondom Somalië verzwakt. Dat lag deels aan het aanhoudende geweld en de anarchie in Zuid Somalië, waar de fanatiek Islamitische Al Shabaab milities grotendeels heer en meester waren. Alleen in een deel van Mogadishu had de door de VN erkende regering van Somalië nog wat te vertellen, militair gesteund door de troepen van de Afrikaanse Unie, bestaande uit soldaten uit Burundi en Oeganda. De regens van de kleine regentijd (oktobernovember 2010) bleven grotendeels uit door de invloed van La Niña en de regenval van de grote regentijd (maart-augustus 2011...

Also for Africa they are part of material heritage (Opening statement APH papers Leiden). Abstract The Belgian Congo suddenly became an independent republic in 1960 and that was followed by four years of turmoil and by an attempt to develop a national ‘authentic’ identity afterwards. Focusing on the 1950-1971 period these major changes can be made visible on the postage stamps used in the territory, with clearly a colonial message between 1950 and 1960, visible turmoil on stamps between 1960 and 1964, and images showing the quest for authenticity and national identity between 1965 and 1971. The rapid changes are also visible in the organization of the postal services, until they virtually collapsed during the 1980s. Keywords: Stamps, postal services, Belgian Congo, D.R. Congo, Zaire

However, there is very little analysis of past experience of partnerships between the public sector and various arms of the private sector: water companies, NGOs or even farmer groups. Further, there is limited conceptualisation of what is meant by partnerships between the public and private sectors. This paper draws on a study of watershed management in Haryana to analyse the evolution of public-private partnerships in natural resource management. The paper finds that the public sector has an important role to play in facilitating design of an institutional contract that clarifies water rights and rules for benefit sharing and conflict resolution. Interestingly, the paper finds that when a proper institutional structure is in place, well-endowed individuals with sufficient interest in a common pool good (like an irrigation system) may eme...
