Product Description
Yemen is probably better known for tribal kidnappings than for its rich cultural heritage or for its steady progress towards democratization in the face of massive developmental challenges.

In the 20th century Yemen was the first Arab state to gain independence. It has the only permanent elected parliament in the Arab world. Its press is among the freest in the region. And Yemeni women were the first and remain the only women in the Arabian Peninsula to have the right to vote. In fact Yemen has a proud tradition of women in leadership the "Queen of Sheba" being its most famous historical figure.

Yet its political progress is in stark contrast to the marginal existence still facing millions of Yemenis. Isolated by the international community for refusing to take sides against Iraq during the Gulf War, Yemen continues to suffer the impact. As up to 1 million Yemenis were expelled from neighboring states the country plunged into economic crisis, compunding existing developmental problems. Today more than 70 percent of Yemenis are still without adequate health services and fewer than half of rural households have access to potable drinking water. Fewer than half of girls complete their education.This book traces Yemen's development from ancient times to the present and analyses the social, economic and environmental cahllenges facing the country today. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars don't despair
This is a great book, despite the depressing title, which outlines the sort of barriers developers face and the grave errors developers/would-be developers/donors etc. make.Despite being published in 1996 it doesn't feel out of date (I know nothing about Yemen, though)For seasoned developers the tales are not new, although it is nice to have them published rather than have them sound like urban legends - the way the horror stories are traded.I think this is most useful to people interested in development or just starting (if they missed this sort of thing in their education).I know that the end was what rang true to me personally, the way the final meeting was pushed along and people didn't have a chance to air grievances.Personally, I like to read this stuff to keep me in the right place and help me remember to watch, as an outsider, what I am doing.It IS easy to get carried away with a focus on simply going through the paces to provide what the donor wants.Instead, development is an art, and while much blame can be laid at the feet of donors, practitioners have responsibilities too.

I further recommend reading Jonathan ( I think) Klitgaard. ... Read more


32. The Convention on the Rights of the Child Impact Study: A Study to Assess the Effect of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Institutions and Actors Who Have the Responsibility and the Ability to Advanced Child Rights
by Lisa Woll
Paperback: 251 Pages (2000)

Isbn: 9189366085
Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan
Editorial Review

Product Description
The adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) by the General Assembly of the United Nations was a landmark event as the CRC was the first human rights treaty to cover the full range of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. However, while it is gratifying that with the exception of two, all the country members of the United Nations have ratified the CRC, this book makes very clear that much remains to be done in the way of reporting, monitoring and implementation.

This study is based upon six individual country studies - in Ghana, Yemen, Peru, Sweden, Nicaragua and the Philippines - as well as overviews of UNICEF and the Save the Children Alliance. The Impact Study contributes to an understanding of how the CRC has affected local, national and international institutions.

The main goals of the study are to:

- help fill the information gap regarding the effect of the CRC on governments and on civil society actors and institutions;

- analyze and document the successes and challenges found in reporting, monitoring and implementing the CRC;

- highlight good practices in reporting, monitoring and implementing;

- make recommendations about ways in which reporting, monitoring and implementing of the CRC could be more effectively done within countries and by international organizations.

This book is intended to assist organizations and individuals in their planning, policy and programme work to advance the CRC. It is also meant as a source of information for all those interested in child rights and to encourage individuals and organizations to redouble their efforts to achieve the goals set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. ...
