Abstract

The Belgian NGO Autre Terre focuses its work on internal democracy and participatory management to improve the quality of life of disadvantaged populations by promoting alternative entrepreneurship. In the southern countries, Autre Terre supports local partners in the training process and the development of sustainable economic projects.&#13;The Peruvian cooperative Frutos del Ande – Autre Terre’s local partner for 8 years – trains small producers, plants, processes and sells Andean grains and legumes. Autre Terre financially supports the cooperative and co-manages the project by strengthening its capacities and by transferring expertise. Its objective is to make Frutos del Ande autonomous over time and to have an impact through this model of Social and Solidarity Economy.&#13;After defining and providing a theoretical framework for the different key elements of the Thesis, the five important pillars to make the local partner autonomous are developed. As a result, the themes of financial empowerment, governance, staff policy, added value for producers and political advocacy are addressed and studied through interviews and field visits. My journey in Lima and Ayacucho also helped me better understand how the organization works.&#13;The last part is devoted to present the results of the customers matchmaking in Peru and Europe. This point aims empower the cooperative on a financial level in order to hire its staff and invest on the long run.

Abstract

In a context where fundraising reach saturation for NGOs, Autre Terre has chosen a complementary alternative to meet its financing needs and at the same time advance its project. &#13;For years, Autre Terre has been working with different developing countries such as Burkina Faso, Peru, Senegal, ... with the aim of raising the awareness of the North's population of the problems of waste recycling, food sovereignty, independence in front of major players in international trade encountered in these countries. &#13;The solution imagined by Autre Terre to raise funds and reassign them in disadvantaged countries is to make fair trade! This thesis aims to develop the best marketing strategy to deal out a product the NGO knows without becoming a wholesaler in mass distribution. Considering certain ethical guarantees, Autre Terre looks for the best way to make accessible in Belgium the product available in the helped country without overexploiting the source. &#13;The chosen imported product, “balanites’ oil”, is coming from the Burkina Faso. The NGO supports the project of a one small group of women located about 100 km from the capital Ouagadougou that extracts this natural oil from the fruits of an extraordinary longevity tree since 2017. &#13;Once the project is sketched out, the goal is to detail it and check if it is viable. A large number of tools are used for a better understanding of the project such as a social business model Canvas, cost analysis, budgets for the years to come, .... &#13;Throughout these developments some theories will help us to understand the concepts of nonprofit organization, fair trade, responsible consumer, certification, ...

Abstract

By examining how NGOs operate in Southern India in the early 2000's, this book discusses the challenges faced by small, local NGOs in the uncertain times of changing aid dynamics. The key findings focus on what empowerment means for Indian women, and how NGO accountability to these groups is an important part of the empowerment being realised.The notion of community empowerment, in which the 'solidarity' of a group can be a path to individual empowerment, is discussed, as well as analysing how empowerment can be a useful concept in development. Based on case studies of 15 NGOs as wel

Abstract

In Europe, the old will soon outnumber the young-an event that will threaten the stability of both pension and healthcare systems while also changing the migration patterns of those who need and provide care. This volume uses new media technologies to map this urgent issue. The latest theoretical approaches to issue mapping are put into practice via online mapping techniques, demonstrations of ways to explore the complex issue of demographics, and discussion of the debates surrounding available online data. By employing websites of non-governmental organizations, search engine queries identifying cultural philosophies about ageing, and more, the contributors to this volume have defined the agenda for ageing issues throughout Europe.

Abstract

The stories in this anthology emerged from interviews with women and young people about their experience of intervention when they were escaping a situation of abuse, neglect and/or sexual exploitation. They come from the research project "Cultural Encounters in Intervention Against Violence (CEINAV)" in four countries - England & Wales, Germany, Portugal and Slovenia. Through support services the women and young people were contacted; they came from a minority or migration background and had travelled through a history of violence and intervention, and were asked to tell who intervened, what had been helpful and what had not.

Abstract

This book explores conflict management in organizations, focusing on the various organizational practices and procedures used to resolve and sometimes prevent conflict in the workplace in countries such as Japan, China, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, Britain, and the United States. It looks at conventional approaches based on standard grievance and dispute resolution procedures as well as alternative dispute resolution methods that seek ways other than civil litigation or turn to administrative agencies that implement employment laws. It discusses grievance procedures under collective bargaining and in non-union firms, along with workplace mediation, interest-based bargaining, the nature and outcomes of conflict management systems, and the role of the organizational ombudsman, third parties, and line managers in conflict management and resolution. In addition, the book examines developments in employment rights and human resources management perspectives on conflict management. It also presents a series of case studies of exemplars and innovators in conflict management, including ‘judicial mediation’ practiced by employment tribunals in the UK.
