About 30 percent of the country’s population was poor in 2019-20, which is comparable to the poverty rate of 30.7 percent in 2012-13. The pattern of fluctuating poverty rates is largely driven by the experience of rural households. There was a surge in the poverty rate between 2012-13 and 2016-17, linked to the drought in 2016-17, followed by improvement in 2019-20 prior to the pandemic , when favorable weather conditions helped lift rural incomes. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed both urban and rural residents into poverty. Inequality, which reflects the extent to which different population groups benefit from Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, and affects the transmission of growth into poverty reduction, remained largely unchanged over this period and may even have worsened in urban areas. The rest of this overview presents key findings of the report. The next section synthesizes key facts about Uganda’s poverty reduction experience up to 2020. These facts set the stage for the section that follows examining reasons behind limited progress in poverty reduction. The final section reviews the key policy points for action. The report’s analysis is based on new analysis of available data sources as well as published analytical reports such as the Systematic Country Diagnostic Update (World Bank; International Finance Corporation; Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency 2021), the Country Economic Memorandum (World Bank 2022), and the previous Poverty Assessment (World Bank 2016).}, editora = {Atamanov, Aziz Malasquez and Carbonel, Eduardo Alonso and Masaki, Takaaki and Myers, Cara Ann Granguillhome and Ochoa, Rogelio and Sinha, Nistha}, editoratype = {collaborator}, keywords = {country::Uganda,status::skimmed}, groups = {uganda}, timestamp = {2022-08-17T14:12:33Z}, file = {2022_Uganda Poverty Assessment.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/YB4DFECH/2022_Uganda Poverty Assessment.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{Baulch2012, title = {Decomposing the {{Ethnic Gap}} in {{Rural Vietnam}}, 1993–2004}, author = {Baulch, Bob and Pham, Hung T. and Reilly, Barry}, date = {2012-03}, journaltitle = {Oxford Development Studies}, shortjournal = {Oxford Development Studies}, volume = {40}, number = {1}, pages = {87--117}, issn = {1360-0818, 1469-9966}, doi = {10.1080/13600818.2011.646441}, langid = {english}, keywords = {inequality::ethnicity,status::skimmed,topic::rural}, groups = {vietnam}, timestamp = {2022-08-15T08:44:18Z}, file = {Baulch2012_Decomposing the Ethnic Gap in Rural Vietnam, 1993–2004.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/K4W8VPTE/Baulch2012_Decomposing the Ethnic Gap in Rural Vietnam, 1993–2004.pdf:application/pdf}, } @incollection{Benjamin2004, title = {Agriculture and Income Distribution in Rural {{Vietnam}} under Economic Reforms: A Tale of Two Regions}, booktitle = {Economic {{Growth}}, {{Poverty}} and {{Household Welfare}} in { {Vietnam}}}, author = {Benjamin, Dwayne and Brandt, Loren}, editor = {Glewwe, Paul and Agrawal, Nisha and Dollar, David}, date = {2004}, pages = {133--186}, publisher = {{World Bank}}, location = {{Washington, D.C.}}, abstract = {https://books.google.de/books?id=jRSuIH1tVqEC\& printsec=frontcover\#v=onepage\&q\&f=false}, keywords = {inequality::income,topic::modernization, topic::trade_liberalization}, groups = {vietnam}, timestamp = {2022-08-15T09:54:51Z}, } @article{Benjamin2017, title = {Growth with Equity: Income Inequality in {{Vietnam}}, 2002–14}, shorttitle = {Growth with Equity}, author = {Benjamin, Dwayne and Brandt, Loren and McCaig, Brian}, date = {2017-03}, journaltitle = {The Journal of Economic Inequality}, shortjournal = {J Econ Inequal}, volume = {15}, number = {1}, pages = {25--46}, issn = {1569-1721, 1573-8701}, doi = {10.1007/s10888-016-9341-7}, langid = {english}, keywords = {country::Vietnam,index::Gini,index::Theil,inequality::income, status::read,topic::equity}, groups = {vietnam}, timestamp = {2022-08-14T19:48:15Z}, file = {Benjamin2017_Growth with equity.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/FQJMZJSG/Benjamin2017_Growth with equity.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{Brunori2018, title = {Consumption Dynamics and Inequality of Opportunity with an Application to {{Uganda}}}, author = {Brunori, Paolo and Palmisano, Flaviana and Peragine, Vito}, date = {2018}, journaltitle = {Review of development economics}, volume = {22}, number = {2}, pages = {632--657}, publisher = {{Wiley Subscription Services, Inc}}, location = {{Oxford}}, issn = {1363-6669}, doi = {10.1111/rode.12357}, abstract = {This paper proposes the adoption of an opportunity egalitarian perspective to assess and compare growth processes and their distributional implications.

We measure inequality by means of the multidimensional Atkinson index, which belongs to the Atkinson family of relative inequality indices. The choice of the values of two crucial parameters, with respect to the aversion to inequality on the one hand and the degree of substitutability between dimensions on the other hand, has a significant influence on the perceived trends of inequality. We consider different combinations of dimensions (two, three and four dimensions) and a wide variety of values of the parameters, with the aim of arriving at a robust understanding of the extent of inequality in Vietnam. Our results suggest that the level of multidimensional inequality in Vietnam has decreased, albeit that this is not the case for all combinations of the parameter values.

The tendency of non-farm income to contribute to inequality is greater among female-headed households for whom self-employment is important and non-farm opportunities more constrained.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the vulnerability of rural subsistence farmers in Uganda to climate risk. A mixed methods approach used semi-structured and guided interviews, and participatory techniques to explore perception, livelihood response and socio-economic status. Perception of climate risk varied, with wealthier farmers perceiving drought as highest risk, whilst poorer farmers perceived extreme heavy rainfall. Farmers implemented many general livelihood coping and anticipatory responses (54.7 \%) to perceived impacts from drought, rainfall variability and extreme heavy rainfall. Examples included food storage, livestock maintenance and planting drought-resistant varieties. Other responses (45.3 \%) were specific to individual climatic events, and farmers had no response to cope with rainfall variability. Climate risk was not the only driver of vulnerability. Soil infertility, pests and diseases, and economic instability also sustained decreasing trends in income. Adaptive capacity of households differed with external and internal attributes of sensitivity. Farmers with more land, education, access to governmental extension, a non-farm livelihood, larger households and older age had more capacity to buffer shock through increased assets and entitlements than poorer farmers who were more likely to engage in opportunistic behaviour like casual labouring. Few livelihood responses associated with perceived threat from the climate indicating response to a broader range of stressors.

Education emerged as a nearly uncontested development strategy to tackle several forms of social, political, economic and geographic inequalities in low- and middle-income countries. When it comes to the case of Uganda, the country represents a striking paradox. Significant investments and policy reforms in education (such as Universal Primary and Secondary Education) since 1997, did not translate into the expected results with regards to poverty reduction through human capital investment. Progress in poverty alleviation is not only stagnant but the role of education therein can be described as ‘modest’ at best. Against this backdrop, this article assesses the following research question: Why did Uganda’s investments and policy reforms in education not uplift the poor? In examining the issue, this article introduces a theoretical framework that contrasts assimilative with transformative approaches in poverty alleviation through education. A rigorous review of Uganda’s education sector plans revealed that current strategies to reduce poverty revolve around a strong assimilation-based development agenda, thereby focusing on three main areas of intervention: (a) increased access to education and retention; (b) improved quality of education; and (c) employment generation through education. The article finds that these assimilative approaches do not have an impact on the political, economic and social structures that cause poverty in the first place. Hence, it concludes that assimilative models in education are highly dependent on transformative approaches. Concretely, change cannot emerge only at the very grassroots level, i.e. through educating society at large, but also has to arise from the systemic level, i.e. government institutions at the local, national and global levels.

In this study, we explore the association between family socioeconomic status and learning outcomes in 10 francophone African countries using data from the Programme for the Analysis of Education Systems, a standardized assessment of pupils’ mathematics and reading competence at the end of primary school. We start by showing that learning outcomes among grade 6 pupils are both poor and highly stratified. We then develop and test a conceptual framework that highlights three mechanisms through which family socioeconomic status might contribute to learning: (1) educational resources at home, (2) health and well-being, and (3) differences in school quality. We find that most of the effect of family background on learning outcomes operates through school quality, which results from a combination of the unequal distribution of resources (such as teachers and textbooks) across schools and high socioeconomic segregation between schools. On the basis of these results, we suggest that most countries in the region could improve equity as well as overall performance by “raising the floor” in school quality.}, langid = {english}, groups = {benin}, timestamp = {2022-08-17T17:17:42Z}, file = {Gruijters2020_Learning Inequality in Francophone Africa.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/IL6LR44L/Gruijters2020_Learning Inequality in Francophone Africa.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{HoNgocSon2013Vart, title = {Vulnerability and Resilience to Climate Change in the Northern Mountainous Region of {{Vietnam}}}, author = {Son, Ngoc Ho}, date = {2013}, abstract = {Vietnam is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change in the world. Therefore, adaptation is increasingly seen as both a necessary and urgent response. However, little is known in terms of who are the most vulnerable and how adaptation will take place. This thesis examines vulnerability and resilience to climate variability and change among communities in the northern mountainous region (NMR) of Vietnam which have been identified as among the most vulnerable communities in Vietnam. The conceptual framework of this thesis draws on the linkage between vulnerability, adaptive capacity and resilience through which to gain a better understanding of vulnerability, adaptation and resilience to climate change in Vietnam's NMR. I adopt a participatory approach to vulnerability assessment using community villages as case studies and using drought, flood and cold weather snaps as study events. The case study of the human-natural system is located in the Ba Be district of Bac Kan province in the NMR of Vietnam. Data were collected in the field from July 2009 to February 2010. Primary data in the form of interviews, focus groups and community workshops, and field observations, as well as insights from local and regional decision-makers, resource managers, scientists and secondary data in the form of published and unpublished literature are used to investigate how communities manage and experience climate-related risks. This study found that households and communities in the NMR are vulnerable to multiple stresses. The main socio-econmic determinants of local vulnerability include poverty, inequality, environmental degradation, ethnicity and community. The interaction of climate risks and local vulnerability factors threatens to overwhelm their resilience. Therefore, this thesis argues that adaptation needs to be rooted in both reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience of communities. The central approach is to increase the adaptive capacity of communities to become resilient in the context of change and uncertainty. It will be more fruitful if policy interventions focus on improving adaptive capacity of vulnerable communities rather than providing specific solutions to uncertain future climates. Addressing fundamental livelihood and development problems and strengthening social, economic, and environmental resilience will make it easier for local communities to respond to climatic risks, whether they are droughts, floods or cold snaps. Another key conclusion is that communities that learn to live with change and uncertainty become resilient. The insights emphasize the importance of learning, information exchange, reflection, innovation, and anticipation, all of which are key elements of the adaptation process.

The results highlight an important set of recovery process-related variables. The set of relevant variables is similar across genders in terms of inclusion and influence, and includes age, social capital, internal and external support after a flood, perceived severity of previous flood impacts, and the perception of stress-resilience. However, women were affected more heavily by flooding in terms of longer recovery times, which should be accounted for in risk management. Overall, the studied variables perform similarly in Vietnam and Germany. This study, therefore, conceptually replicates previous results suggesting that women display slightly slower recovery levels as well as that psychological variables influence recovery rates more than adverse flood impacts.

The study highlights the heterogeneity of women as a group and their intersectional dynamics as they adapt to increasing agricultural water scarcity on their rural livelihoods. The findings show that social differences including gender, class, household headship, age and stage of life shape women's differentiated experiences in vulnerability in access to water, to forestland and credit; in turn mark their adaptation differentiation to climate-related agricultural water scarcity. It also stresses that existing development policies can cause inequality in resource access in practice, running the risk of further marginalizing certain groups of women, especially female heads of household. Meanwhile, the current National Target Program to Respond to Climate Change of Vietnam is blind to issues of women's differentiated vulnerability and adaptive capacity. This study suggests that if these current development and adaptation measures do not pay proper attention to differentiated gender experience, it is likely to exacerbate the vulnerabilities of those affected, particularly female heads of household, rather than help them.

However, evaluations of adaptation often adopt an aggregated perspective, while disaggregation of results is important to learn about who benefits when and where. A typical example is adaptation of rice agriculture in the Vietnam Mekong Delta (VMD). Efforts focused on flood protection have mainly benefitted large-scale farmers while harming small-scale farmers. To investigate the distributional consequences of adaptation policies in the VMD, we assess both aggregate total output and equity indicators, as well as disaggregated impacts in terms of district-level farming profitability. Doing so requires an adequate representation of the multisectoral dynamics between the human and biophysical systems which influence farming profitability. We develop a spatially explicit integrated assessment model that couples inundation, sedimentation, soil fertility and nutrient dynamics, and behavioral land-use change and farming profitability calculation. We find that inter-district inequality responds in a non-linear way to climatic and socio-economic changes and choices of adaptation policies. The patterns of who wins and who loses could change substantially when a different policy is implemented or if a slightly different uncertain future materializes. We also find that there is no simple ranking of alternative adaptation policies, so one should make trade-offs based on agreed preferences. Accounting for equity implies exploring the distribution of outcomes over different groups over a range of uncertain futures. Only by accounting for multisectoral dynamics can planners anticipate the equity consequences of adaptation and prepare additional measures to aid the worse-off actors.}, copyright = {info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess}, langid = {english}, keywords = {country::Vietnam,inequality::environmental,status::skimmed, topic::agriculture,topic::climate_change,topic::river}, groups = {vietnam}, timestamp = {2022-08-15T16:10:09Z}, file = {Jafino2021_Accounting for multisectoral dynamics in supporting equitable adaptation.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/Q9YPVAP2/Jafino2021_Accounting for multisectoral dynamics in supporting equitable adaptation.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{Jagger2012, title = {Environmental Income, Rural Livelihoods, and Income Inequality in Western {{Uganda}}}, author = {Jagger, Pamela}, date = {2012}, journaltitle = {Forests, trees and livelihoods}, volume = {21}, number = {2}, pages = {70--84}, publisher = {{Taylor \& Francis Group}}, issn = {1472-8028}, doi = {10.1080/14728028.2012.698846}, abstract = {The contribution of forest and wild products to the rural economy is typically undervalued in standard socioeconomic surveys.

We find that households in rural Uganda derive 26\% of total household income from forests and other wild areas including fallows, agricultural lands, wetlands, grasslands, and shrub land. In general, households in the lower income quartiles are more dependent on forest and wild products for subsistence income , whereas wealthier households are more engaged in the sale of higher value forest products for cash income. Forests, fallows, and agricultural lands are the most important sources of environmental income for households in western Uganda. Income from forest and wild products plays an important role in reducing income inequality between households.

Historically, flood resilience in large river deltas has been strongly tied to institutional and infrastructural interventions to manage flood risk (such as building of embankments and drainage structures). However, the introduction of infrastructural works has inevitably brought unforeseen, major consequences, such as biodiversity and accelerated land subsidence, endangering the fertile characteristics that made them interesting places to live in in the first place. These ripple effects have sparked, a reconsideration of what deltas are , questioning the very separation and control between nature and culture, and how deltas are to be dealt with. These effects have further sparked changing modalities of power that tend to be overlooked by delta and resilience scholars alike. As a result, there is a real risk that future interventions to increase resilience, will in fact amplify unequal power relations in deltas as opposed to alleviating them. If the system as a whole has achieved some level of flood resilience (partly due to the flood defence mechanisms in place), does infrastructure have a differential effect on people’s mobility under flood conditions?

The generalized method of moments (GMM) regression technique is used to address potential endogeneity in the model caused by income inequality and inequality in government spending on education. Income inequality is proxied by both the Gini coefficient and the Theil index. Inequality in government spending on education in Vietnam is estimated using a novel entropic approach, which decomposes the inequality into two components: “within-province” inequality and “between-province” inequality. Data for the period from 2010 to 2016 are used. Our empirical findings are summarized as follows. First, “within-province” inequality accounts for a substantial portion of inequality in government spending on education. This means that although the Vietnamese national government has done well in terms of allocating spending on education across 63 provinces, inequality in education spending appears across districts within provinces. Second, both total inequality of government spending on education and its two components are positively associated with income inequality across provinces. As such, reducing differences in government spending on education across provinces and across districts within provinces is an effective mechanism for reducing income inequality across provinces and across districts within provinces in Vietnam.}, langid = {english}, keywords = {country::Vietnam,inequality::income,topic::education}, groups = {vietnam}, timestamp = {2022-08-14T11:29:32Z}, file = {Minh Ho2021_DOES GOVERNMENT SPENDING ON EDUCATION AFFECT PROVINCIAL INCOME INEQUALITY IN.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/EMUDX7L5/Minh Ho2021_DOES GOVERNMENT SPENDING ON EDUCATION AFFECT PROVINCIAL INCOME INEQUALITY IN.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{Mottet2009, title = {L’urbanisation de la ville de Ninh Binh dans le delta du fleuve rouge (Vietnam) : mise en perspective des forces et faiblesses de la gestion du risque d’inondation.}, shorttitle = {L’urbanisation de la ville de Ninh Binh dans le delta du fleuve rouge (Vietnam)}, author = {Mottet, Éric and Roche, Yann}, date = {2009-01-08}, journaltitle = {VertigO}, shortjournal = {vertigo}, issn = {1492-8442}, doi = {10.4000/vertigo.7782}, issue = {Volume 8 Numéro 3}, langid = {french}, keywords = {country::Vietnam,status::skimmed,topic::flooding,topic::river}, groups = {vietnam}, timestamp = {2022-08-15T11:31:51Z}, file = {Mottet2009_L’urbanisation de la ville de Ninh Binh dans le delta du fleuve rouge (Vietnam).pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/NAZTWGZW/Mottet2009_L’urbanisation de la ville de Ninh Binh dans le delta du fleuve rouge (Vietnam).pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{Mulogo2018, title = {Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Service Availability at Rural Health Care Facilities in Southwestern {{Uganda}}}, author = {Mulogo, Edgar Mugema and Matte, Micheal and Wesuta, Andrew and Bagenda, Fred and Apecu, Richard and Ntaro, Moses}, date = {2018}, journaltitle = {Journal of environmental and public health}, volume = {2018}, publisher = {{Hindawi}}, keywords = {country::Uganda,status::skimmed,topic::water}, groups = {uganda}, timestamp = {2022-08-16T18:25:57Z}, file = {Mulogo2018_Water, sanitation, and hygiene service availability at rural health care.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/P4LYXIC5/Mulogo2018_Water, sanitation, and hygiene service availability at rural health care.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{Nagasha2019, title = {Effect of Climate Variability on Gender Roles among Communities Surrounding {{Lake Mburo National Park}}, {{Uganda}}}, author = {Nagasha, Judith Irene and Mugisha, Lawrence and Kaase-Bwanga, Elizabeth and Onyuth, Howard and Ocaido, Michael}, date = {2019-02-18}, journaltitle = {Emerald Open Research}, shortjournal = {Emerald Open Res}, volume = {1}, pages = {7}, issn = {2631-3952}, doi = {10.12688/emeraldopenres.12953.1}, abstract = {Background: Climate change has been increasingly recognized as a global crisis with effects on gender roles. Recently, communities surrounding Lake Mburo national park, Uganda have been experiencing frequent severe droughts. It was against this background that this study was designed to understand effect of climate change on gender roles. Methods: This cross sectional study reviewed the effect of climate change on men and women’s gender roles using a pragmatic research paradigm based on a thematic review model using participatory methods and a structured questionnaire. Results: The study found that men and women’s gender roles were altered during extreme dryness. Men played their roles sequentially focusing on one single productive role, while women played their roles simultaneously, balancing the demands of each role with their limited available time. Effect of climate change variability affected productive roles more in Kiruhura district than Isingiro district. There was migration of both men and women in search for water and pasture livestock in Kiruhura district which distorted gender roles of women. Consequently, women and children had a heavier load and were the most people affected by climate change effects. Conclusion: Gender roles of communities surrounding Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda were affected and altered by the effects of climate change variability.

In Vietnam, the housing market has undergone fundamental changes driven by widening income inequality, increasing urbanisation and decreasing household size. The housing price-to-income ratio, a measure of housing affordability, is currently at an unprecedentedly high level. Vietnam's experience is impacted by a number of elements such as rapidly rising costs of housing, unequal income distribution, speculative activities, constraints in land supply and housing finance, housing market structure, and the regulatory environment. Over three studies, this thesis carries out the econometric analysis of secondary data to explore mechanisms underlying housing affordability in Vietnam and its flow-on effects on household well-being. Noticing that the distribution of income plays a crucial role in explaining the housing affordability problem, the first study analyses the influence of income inequality on a number of housing outcomes, including housing price-to-income ratio, housing values, and household choices of housing type and housing conditions in Vietnam's urban areas. It does so by employing data from the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey as well as district-level data from the Statistical Yearbook of Vietnam from 2010 to 2016. The estimated results demonstrate that rising income inequality, measured by the Gini coefficient at the district level, is associated with rising housing cost burden and a substitution effect towards consuming poor-quality housing resulting from a lack of housing affordability. The findings of this study provide deep insights into the long-lasting existence of informal and self-built housing in Vietnam, which is predominantly in sub-standard forms and frequently lack essential amenities. Next, the second study measures the effects of poor housing conditions on occupants' physical and mental health. This study employs the Vietnam Access to Resources Household Survey (VARHS) data from 2008 to 2016. Empirical findings from this chapter indicate that living in deprived housing conditions is associated with a higher number of sick days within a year, worsening mental well-being and a more inferior self-reported health status of the occupants. The estimated results also show that the intensity of deprived housing conditions, measured by an increase in the number of housing problems, tends to worsen all health outcomes considered. These results provide a better understanding of the role of a dwelling's structural and sanitary conditions on individuals' health and have important implications for public policies. The third study examines the role of housing conditions in enhancing households' resilience to natural disasters. This study separately looks at three of the most frequently occurring natural disasters in Vietnam, which include floods, droughts, and typhoons. This study also uses data from the VARHS. The findings from this chapter make a significant contribution to the literature on natural disasters by analysing the link between the physical attributes of housing and the probability of achieving full recovery post a disaster. In particular, the empirical findings suggest that those living in substandard houses are not only more vulnerable to disasters but take longer to recover.

Among the 38 ethnic minorities inhabiting the northern mountains of Vietnam, the Thai population is the second largest. Cultural landscapes and traditional agricultural uplands shaped by the Thai have a long history and represent a mosaic of paddy and vegetable fields along rivers and springs, forests and plantations of trees on slopes. This pattern is now changing significantly, which results in a diversification of the fields shaped by Thai farmers. This study deals with understanding the pressures driving the changes, the new state of the upland agriculture, and the way the Thai of the Son Thinh mountain (Yen Bai, Vietnam) respond to sustain their upland farming systems. Land quality indicators (LQIs) are identified using the pressure–state–response (PSR) framework. Sixty completed questionnaires with 65 closed questions each using a five-point Likert scale were collected in 2016. The results show that Thai farmers nowadays apply a wider-scale solutions to deal with the sustainability of agricultural upland on the slopes as compared to a limited number of traditional farming techniques that were used in the past. Climate change hazards (floods, droughts, landslides, extreme cold, and flash floods), the scarcity of irrigation water, and agricultural land put pressure on the slopes. The most noticeable socioeconomic impacts are migration, population growth, and unstable input and output prices. The most considerable changes in the state of the land quality are soil erosion, land degradation, and local cultivation practices. Modifying cultivation options, applying soil conservation practices, improving indigenous techniques, and implementing agricultural land use policies are the most significant responses to modify land use and its pressures. Responses of the Thai farmers on sustainable sloping land use are put in a structural model with a horizontal diversification strategy. Recommendations concern mainstreaming the local indigenous knowledge on agricultural land use, land management policies, and implementing the LQIs based on PSR framework for sustainable land use planning on the slopes in Vietnam.}, copyright = {Springer Nature B.V. 2020}, langid = {english}, groups = {vietnam}, timestamp = {2022-08-15T15:01:22Z}, file = {Nguyen2020_Diversified responses to contemporary pressures on sloping agricultural land.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/7A3JX6JC/Nguyen2020_Diversified responses to contemporary pressures on sloping agricultural land.pdf:application/pdf}, } @book{OECD2013, title = {Co-Operation {{Report}} 2013 : Ending Poverty.}, author = {OECD}, date = {2013}, publisher = {{OECD Publishing}}, location = {{Paris}}, url = {https://dx.doi.org/10.1787/dcr-2013-en}, abstract = {The Development Co-operation Report (DCR) 2013 explores what needs to be done to achieve rapid and sustainable progress in the global fight to reduce poverty.

We took this essential feature to study the perceptions of local people toward the two common natural disasters: flash floods and landslides. We selected the case study in three communes (An Binh, An Thinh, and Dai Son) in Van Yen district, Yen Bai province in Vietnam. This is because flash floods and landslides are two frequent natural disasters that highly adversely affect these areas where major poor ethnic minority communities reside. We conducted six Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and household surveys (405 households) in 2016. The results showed that a decline in productivity, a decrease in income, more hard-working conditions, and an increase in daily expenses were the most observed impacts of these natural disasters in the communes. The analysis also revealed that almost 45\% of farmers perceived an increasing trend in the frequency and impacts of flash floods and landslides over the past 15 years. A Multinomial Logit (MNL) model was used to analyze the determinants of farmers' awareness of flash floods and landslides , which indicated that farmers' perceptions of flash floods and landslides are associated with socio-economic characteristics, such as gender, agricultural experience, ethnic groups, climate information, and household income conditions. We suggested that local governments should pay more attention to strengthen farmers' awareness to help improve perceptions of local people toward common natural disasters so that they would gain better adaptive capacities and become more sustainable, which are in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.

While demand is growing, conventional grids are failing or insufficient, especially in Africa. Urban dwellers therefore have to develop a wide range of (in)formal infrastructures to meet their daily electricity needs. Building on recent studies on urban electricity in the global South, this paper aims to contribute to the debates on hybrid forms of electricity provision by analysing the diffusion of solar panels and generators in two cities, Ibadan in Nigeria and Cotonou in Benin. Although neighbouring and relatively similar, these two cities illustrate distinct daily electrical lives. In Nigeria, an electricity-exporting country, people face daily power outages. In Benin, a country that depends on Nigeria for its supply, there is electricity but it is difficult to connect to the grid because of connection costs. Based on an empirical study, the article shows that Ibadan’s inhabitants use generators as a complement to a conventional grid that is almost universal but unreliable. In Cotonou, solar energy is an alternative until they can connect to the grid. Generators and solar panels have become the material markers of urban Africa, providing information on inequalities in access to electricity.}, langid = {english}, groups = {benin}, timestamp = {2022-08-17T17:08:43Z}, file = {Rateau2022_Electrifying urban Africa.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/MDMADPTM/Rateau2022_Electrifying urban Africa.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{Rietveld2022, title = {Predictable Patterns of Unsustainable Intensification}, author = {Rietveld, Anne M and Groot, Jeroen CJ and van der Burg, Margreet}, options = {useprefix=true}, date = {2022}, journaltitle = {International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability}, volume = {20}, number = {4}, pages = {461--477}, publisher = {{Taylor \& Francis}}, keywords = {country::Uganda,topic::water}, groups = {uganda}, timestamp = {2022-08-16T18:26:34Z}, file = {Rietveld2022_Predictable patterns of unsustainable intensification.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/ZHCW8S4D/Rietveld2022_Predictable patterns of unsustainable intensification.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{Sempewo2021, title = {Assessing Willingness to Pay for Water during the {{COVID-19}} Crisis in {{Ugandan}} Households}, author = {Sempewo, Jotham Ivan and Kisaakye, Peter and Mushomi, John and Tumutungire, Martin Dahlin and Ekyalimpa, Ronald}, date = {2021}, journaltitle = {Social Sciences \& Humanities Open}, volume = {4}, number = {1}, pages = {100230}, publisher = {{Elsevier}}, keywords = {country::Uganda,inequality::health,status::skimmed, topic::covid19,topic::water}, groups = {uganda}, timestamp = {2022-08-17T12:43:30Z}, file = {Sempewo2021_Assessing willingness to pay for water during the COVID-19 crisis in Ugandan.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/ZJVIT5DE/Sempewo2021_Assessing willingness to pay for water during the COVID-19 crisis in Ugandan.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{Sempewo2021a, title = {The Impact of {{COVID-19}} on Households’ Water Use in {{Uganda}}}, author = {Sempewo, Jotham Ivan and Mushomi, John and Tumutungire, Martin Dahlin and Ekyalimpa, Ronald and Kisaakye, Peter}, date = {2021}, journaltitle = {Water Supply}, volume = {21}, number = {5}, pages = {2489--2504}, publisher = {{IWA Publishing}}, keywords = {country::Uganda,status::skimmed,topic::covid19,topic::water}, groups = {uganda}, timestamp = {2022-08-16T18:26:35Z}, file = {Sempewo2021_The impact of COVID-19 on households’ water use in Uganda.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/CHMK2BB6/Sempewo2021_The impact of COVID-19 on households’ water use in Uganda.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{Sen2021, title = {Farmers’ Barriers to the Access and Use of Climate Information in the Mountainous Regions of {{Thừa Thiên Huế}} Province, {{Vietnam}}}, author = {Sen, Le Thi Hoa and Bond, Jennifer and Dung, Nguyen Tien and Hung, Hoang Gia and Mai, Nguyen Thi Hong and Phuong, Huynh Thi Anh}, date = {2021}, journaltitle = {Climate services}, volume = {24}, pages = {100267-}, publisher = {{Elsevier B.V}}, issn = {2405-8807}, doi = {10.1016/j.cliser.2021.100267}, abstract = {Climate change is a major challenge to rural livelihoods in Vietnam, particularly in remote and mountainous areas. Access and use of climate information is considered vital to households’ and communities’ adaptive capacity. This research employed a survey to investigate barriers to the access, and use of, formal climate change information among two groups of farmers (ethnic minority and Kinh) in mountainous areas of Thừa Thiên Huế province, Vietnam. Adopting a logit model, the results show that the main barriers were: 1) farmers’ lack of trust of formal climate-related services; 2) farmers’ lack of perceived risk from climate change; and 3) difficulties in balancing climate adaptation and economic benefits of new interventions. Ethnicity was not a barrier, as all farmers looked for climate information from informal channels (friends, neighbors, market actors) rather than from formal channels (agricultural departments, television, radio), although cultural issues such as language did act as a barrier. This research recommends strengthening the networks and interactions between market actors and government staff with local people, through direct communication and adaptation demonstrations. Formal and informal climate information channels should be integrated to effectively combine local resources and indigenous knowledge with advanced technologies, to support farmers’ sustainable and robust climate adaptation responses. Further, the research found that while farmers have access to devices, such as smart phones, they prefer to use these for entertainment rather than climate information. The implications of the study therefore are that any future network or communication activities should be in local languages and note the limitations of using devices for information dissemination.}, copyright = {2021 The Author(s)}, langid = {english}, keywords = {country::Vietnam,status::skimmed,topic::agriculture, topic::climate_change}, groups = {vietnam}, timestamp = {2022-08-15T15:17:20Z}, file = {Sen2021_Farmers’ barriers to the access and use of climate information in the.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/TE5D79FK/Sen2021_Farmers’ barriers to the access and use of climate information in the.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{Son2020, title = {Community Adaptation and Climate Change in the {{Northern Mountainous Region}} of {{Vietnam}}: {{A}} Case Study of Ethnic Minority People in {{Bac Kan Province}}}, shorttitle = {Community Adaptation and Climate Change in the {{Northern Mountainous Region}} of {{Vietnam}}}, author = {Son, Ho and Kingsbury, Aaron}, date = {2020-01-02}, journaltitle = {Asian Geographer}, shortjournal = {Asian Geographer}, volume = {37}, number = {1}, pages = {33--51}, issn = {1022-5706, 2158-1762}, doi = {10.1080/10225706.2019.1701507}, langid = {english}, keywords = {country::Vietnam,inequality::environmental,status::skimmed, topic::climate_change}, groups = {vietnam}, timestamp = {2022-08-15T12:06:21Z}, file = {Son2020_Community adaptation and climate change in the Northern Mountainous Region of.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/CBYPLX4P/Son2020_Community adaptation and climate change in the Northern Mountainous Region of.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{Ssewanyana2012, title = {Poverty and Inequality Dynamics in {{Uganda}}: {{Insights}} from the {{Uganda}} National {{Panel Surveys}} 2005/6 and 2009/10}, shorttitle = {Poverty and Inequality Dynamics in {{Uganda}}}, author = {Ssewanyana, Sarah and Kasirye, Ibrahim}, date = {2012}, publisher = {{Unknown}}, doi = {10.22004/AG.ECON.148953}, abstract = {While Uganda has made significant efforts in reducing the proportion of individuals and households living below the absolute poverty line, nearly 10 percent of the households continue to live in persistent or chronic poverty with significant differences across geographical areas. Of all households classified aspoor in 2009/10, nearly 49 percent were chronically poor households and as such the poor are not a homogenous group. Compared to 1992-99 period, households in Uganda were found to be more vulnerable to poverty in the period 2005/6-2009/10. These observed changes in the nature and patterns of poverty dynamics in Uganda require government to move away from universal poverty reduction interventions that continue to treat the poor as a homogenous group. Otherwise, Uganda’s achievement of the first millennium development goal of halving extreme income poverty earlier than 2015 might not be sustainable.The paper also examines the drivers of income inequality and finds that education remains the key determinant of income inequality. At the same time, income differences between regions are narrowing suggesting an indication of regional convergence on average income. While government’s fiscal targeting of the lagging areas and rural areas might explain the observed convergence in average income across geographical areas, there are other emerging development challenges that require further refinement for the current targeting. Access to public extension programs such as the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS), which are intended to enhance agricultural production and productivity is skewed to well-to-do households and not evenly distributed across region.

How has the socialist state responded to these challenges? Based on research and analysis of recent conditions, Social Inequality in Vietnam and the Challenges to Reform offers detailed descriptions of disparities in income, spatial access, gender, ethnicity and status, addressing their causes and consequences. The eleven chapters in this book illustrate the changing ways in which people have accumulated wealth, social and cultural capital in Vietnam's move from a socialist to a market-oriented society. They assemble data from the Northern Uplands to the Mekong delta to explore geographic variability in patterns of social differentiation. Offering critical insights into state policy, the chapters assess the adequacy of government responses and outline local responses and informal solutions to social disadvantage. This book features a diverse mix of theoretical and methodological approaches and bridges some of the disciplinary and institutional divides that have impeded understanding of inequality in Vietnam.

Using Demographic and Health Survey data for six Francophone countries in Central and West sub-Saharan Africa, we find that differences in the distributions of factors that determine mortality-not differences in their effects-explain almost the entire gap. Higher infant mortality rates in rural areas mainly derive from the rural disadvantage in household characteristics, both observed and unobserved, which explain two-thirds of the gap. Among the observed characteristics, environmental factors-a safe source of drinking water, electricity, and quality of housing materials-are the most important contributors. Community characteristics explain less than onequarter of the gap, with about two-thirds of this coming from community unobserved heterogeneity and one-third from the existence of a health facility within the community. The effect of disadvantageous environmental conditions-such as limited electricity and water supply-derives both from a lack of community-level infrastructure and from the inability of some households to exploit it when available. Policy needs to operate at both the community and household levels to correct such deficiencies.}, langid = {english}, groups = {benin}, timestamp = {2022-08-17T17:09:59Z}, file = {Van De Poel2009_What explains the rural-urban gap in infant mortality.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/T48RNP2K/Van De Poel2009_What explains the rural-urban gap in infant mortality.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{vandeVen2021, title = {Living Income Benchmarking of Rural Households in Low-Income Countries}, author = {van de Ven, Gerrie W.

Another benchmark, based on the Anker living wage methodology, is the remuneration received for a standard work week necessary for a worker to meet his/her family's basic needs in a particular place. The living wage concept has been used extensively to address incomes of plantation workers producing agricultural commodities for international markets. More recently intense discussion has emerged concerning the `living income' of smallholder farmers who produce commodities for international supply chains on their own land. In this article we propose a simple method that can be used in all types of development projects to benchmark a rural `living income'. We launch the Living Income Methodology, as adapted from the Living Wage Methodology, to estimate the living income for rural households. In any given location this requires about one week of fieldwork. We express it per adult equivalent per day (AE/day) and data collection is focused on rural households and their immediate surroundings. Our three case studies showed that in 2017 in Lushoto District, rural Tanzania, the living income was US\$ PPP 4.04/AE/day, in Isingiro District, rural Uganda, 3.82 and in Sidama Zone, rural Ethiopia, 3.60. In all cases, the extreme poverty line of US\$ PPP 1.90 per capita per day is insufficient to meet the basic human rights for a decent living in low-income countries. The Living Income Methodology provides a transparent local benchmark that can be used to assess development opportunities of rural households, by employers in rural areas, including farmers hiring in labour, while respecting basic human rights on a decent living. It can be used to reflect on progress of rural households in low-income countries on their aspired path out of poverty. It further provides a meaningful benchmark to measure progress on Sustainable Development Goal 1, eliminating poverty, and 2, zero hunger and sustainable food systems, allowing for consideration of the local context.}, earlyaccessdate = {SEP 2020}, eissn = {1876-4525}, orcid-numbers = {Giller, Ken E/0000-0002-5998-4652 Mellisse, Beyene Teklu/0000-0001-5779-0742 van de Ven, Gerrie/0000-0001-5693-0280 Descheemaeker, Katrien/0000-0003-0184-2034}, researcherid-numbers = {Mellisse, Beyene/AHB-8424-2022 Giller, Ken E/K-2799-2012 Descheemaeker, Katrien/F-3041-2010}, unique-id = {WOS:000573406200001}, keywords = {country::Uganda,level::local,status::skimmed,topic::poverty}, groups = {uganda}, timestamp = {2022-08-16T18:25:57Z}, file = {van de Ven2021_Living income benchmarking of rural households in low-income countries.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/WWZJBHZB/van de Ven2021_Living income benchmarking of rural households in low-income countries.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{vandeWalle2001, title = {Sources of Ethnic Inequality in {{Viet Nam}}}, author = {van de Walle, Dominique and Gunewardena, Dileni}, options = {useprefix=true}, date = {2001-06}, journaltitle = {Journal of Development Economics}, shortjournal = {Journal of Development Economics}, volume = {65}, number = {1}, pages = {177--207}, issn = {03043878}, doi = {10.1016/S0304-3878(01)00133-X}, langid = {english}, keywords = {country::Vietnam,inequality::ethnicity,status::skimmed, topic::rural}, groups = {vietnam}, timestamp = {2022-08-15T08:20:02Z}, file = {van de Walle2001_Sources of ethnic inequality in Viet Nam.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/LDMZ9SGR/van de Walle2001_Sources of ethnic inequality in Viet Nam.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{vandeWalle2004, title = {Is the Emerging Non-Farm Market Economy the Route out of Poverty in {{Vietnam}}?}, author = {van de Walle, Dominique and Cratty, Dorothyjean}, options = {useprefix=true}, date = {2004-06}, journaltitle = {The Economics of Transition}, shortjournal = {Economics of Transition}, volume = {12}, number = {2}, pages = {237--274}, issn = {0967-0750, 1468-0351}, doi = {10.1111/j.0967-0750.2004.00178.x}, langid = {english}, keywords = {country::Vietnam,inequality::income,status::skimmed, topic::modernization,topic::poverty}, groups = {vietnam}, timestamp = {2022-08-15T08:55:47Z}, file = {van de Walle2004_Is the emerging non-farm market economy the route out of poverty in Vietnam.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/GHYIGV7U/van de Walle2004_Is the emerging non-farm market economy the route out of poverty in Vietnam.pdf:application/pdf}, } @report{VASS2006, title = {Vietnam {{Poverty Update Report}} 2006: {{Poverty}} and {{Poverty Reduction}} in {{Vietnam}} 1993-2004}, author = {VASS}, date = {2006}, institution = {{Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences}}, location = {{Hanoi}}, keywords = {country::Vietnam,topic::poverty}, groups = {vietnam}, timestamp = {2022-08-15T09:55:50Z}, } @report{VASS2011, title = {Poverty {{Reduction}} in {{Vietnam}}: {{Achievements}} and {{ Challenges}}}, author = {VASS}, date = {2011}, institution = {{Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences}}, location = {{Hanoi}}, keywords = {country::Vietnam,topic::poverty}, groups = {vietnam}, timestamp = {2022-08-15T12:15:41Z}, file = {VASS2011_Poverty Reduction in Vietnam.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/TMVA9NCG/VASS2011_Poverty Reduction in Vietnam.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{Walker2021, title = {Role of Women in Economic Development: {{A}} Comparison of the Development Trajectories in Ethiopia and Uganda}, author = {Walker, Ally and Kulkarni, Kishore G}, date = {2021}, journaltitle = {The Journal of developing areas}, volume = {55}, number = {2}, pages = {387--396}, publisher = {{Tennessee State University}}, location = {{Nashville}}, issn = {1548-2278}, doi = {10.1353/jda.2021.0026}, abstract = {Historically, women's contributions to the economic, political, and social well-being of a society have been dramatically devalued. It is only in the last fifty years that the thinking towards the role of women has shifted. Today, there is general global consensus that female empowerment is "smart economics" and that gender equality has a positive effect on economic growth and human development. The inverse relationship, that economic growth has a positive effect on advancing gender equality is more controversial and understudied. To gain a broader picture of the role of women in economic development, as well as a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between economic growth and gender equality, this paper situates women within the human development paradigm and first explores the notion of economic empowerment. A discussion of the importance of women's empowerment to economic development follows. With this framework laid, the context of economic development and gender equity in East Africa is explored, followed by two specific case studies of Ethiopia and Uganda. This paper draws several conclusions about the role of women in the economic development trajectories of Ethiopia and Uganda, namely that discrimination and marginalization of women in Ethiopia and Uganda has limited both women's roles economic development and impeded their human development. In the Ethiopian and Ugandan economies, women do not participate in high growth sectors and a majority of women, if employed, work in the agriculture sector with substantially unequal access and control over productive resources. In both nations, girls are expected to attend less school than boys, resulting in lower literacy compared with their male counterparts. In health, life expectancy has improved substantially in both Ethiopia and Uganda and girls have a higher life expectancy than boys at birth. Despite said advances, fertility rates remain astronomically high in both Ethiopia and Uganda, which curbs (sustained) economic growth potential and women's empowerment. This evidence suggests that if Ethiopia and Uganda significantly increase economic and educational opportunities for women, while maintaining gains in healthcare, fertility rates will decrease and more sustained economic growth can occur, which will ultimately have positive gains for women's empowerment and for development.}, copyright = {COPYRIGHT 2021 Tennessee State University}, langid = {english}, keywords = {country::Uganda}, groups = {uganda}, timestamp = {2022-08-16T10:58:29Z}, file = {Walker2021_Role of women in economic development.pdf:/home/marty/Zotero/storage/7AQXA3SR/Walker2021_Role of women in economic development.pdf:application/pdf}, } @report{WorldBank2012, title = {Vietnam Poverty Assessment: Well Begun, Not yet Done -

Thus, climate change adaptation is crucial, especially for natural resource-dependent farmers. Based on a qualitative research approach using a feminist political ecology lens, this article investigates gendered patterns of rural agrarian livelihoods and climate adaptation in the province of Thái Bình. In doing so, we identify differentiated rights and responsibilities between female and male farmers, leading to unequal opportunities and immobility for females, making them more vulnerable to climate impacts and threatening to reduce their capacity to adapt. This research also shows that demands on farmers to contribute to perpetual increases in agricultural output by the state poses a challenge, since farming livelihoods in Vietnam are increasingly becoming feminised, as a result of urbanisation and devaluation of farming. Past and present national strategies and provincial implementation plans linked to climate change do not consider the burden affecting rural female farmers, instead the focus lies on addressing technical solutions to adaptation. With little attention being paid to an increasingly female workforce, existing gender inequalities may be exacerbated, threatening the future existence of rural livelihoods and the viability of Vietnam’s expansion into global markets.}, copyright = {2019.
