USADF Best Practices Reports

Cover of Nomads' Dialogue
Nomads' Dialogue: Development Instead of Relief  (ADF:1990)


Nomads' Dialogue

As USADF celebrates the 20th anniversary of its active program operations in 2004 and 2005, the Foundation is republishing online versions of important USADF research reports produced over the past two decades. The first republished report is Nomads' Dialogue: Development Instead of Relief (1990). This study provided a unique contribution to research on transhumant communities in the Sahel region of Africa by bringing together a diverse array of USADF grant recipients from Mali, Niger, Senegal, Somalia and Tanzania to talk about their common experience of drought and to share lessons learned from their experiences. The conference offered an innovative approach to grassroots, participatory evaluation, and it was premised on the idea that African communities are filled with local experts who know what they need and what works best for them.

Nomads' Dialogue has been scanned into a PDF format that makes it accessible to persons with disabilities, and it is available as a full PDF or can be downloaded in sections.

Cover of Sustainable Development and Persons with Disabilities
Sustainable Development and Persons with Disabilities  (ADF:1996)

Sustainable Development and Persons with Disabilities

Edited by Yash Tandon, this volume presents the proceedings of a 1994 conference in Entebbe, Uganda, that brought together persons with disabilities (PWDs) from USADF-funded projects acrosssub-Saharan Africa. Conference participants discussed the opportunities and challenges that face projects that are designed to provide PWDs with real economic opportunity and increased financial independence. The conference explored best practices to ensure the sustainability of income-generating enterprises, ways to break free of " donor dependency syndrome" and ways to ensure the viability of projects in the face of a changing global economy.
