In doing so it systematically engages with and reviews the international Education in Emergencies literature and applies that knowledge to help analyse and draw lessons from a case study entitled ‘Anondo Biddaloy – Alternative Education for Sidr Affected Children’. The project was implemented by the country field office of an international humanitarian organisation – Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) – as part of its disaster response efforts in the wake of a super cyclone Sidr that struck coastal Bangladesh in late 2007. The first author was a proactive participant in the development and implementation of the project, and this enabled the authors to draw upon his first-hand experience, as well as relevant project documents to frame the ‘Ano...

We explore how ‘community’ was conceptualised and represented through the dynamic CFM process, leading to contradictions and conflicts that could not be resolved. We examine the governance structures and institutions that were created to try to enable community participation in forest management. Ambiguity and uncertainty in the power and purpose of the CFM organisation, as well as power relationships within the organisation, all contributed to conflicts that eventually tore the CFM process apart.

Active citizens use those rights to improve the quality of political or civic life, through involvement in the formal economy or formal politics, or through the sort of collective action that historically has allowed poor and excluded groups to make their voices heard. [… .]At an individual level, active citizenship means developing self-confidence and overcoming the insidious way in which the condition of being relatively powerless can become internalised. In relation to other people, it means developing the ability to negotiate and influence decisions. And when empowered individuals work together, it means involvement in collective action, be it at the neighbourhood level, or more broadly. Ultimately, active citizenship means engaging with the political system to build an effective state, and assuming some degree of responsibility for the public domain. (Green 2008: 12, 19)
