Engendering Knowledge in Organisations. Negotiating Development in Local and Translocal Social Spaces
Get PDF"The paper looks at sites of production and negotiation of development knowledge which constitute translocal spaces and interfaces within organisations and their environment. Taking a gender approach, it assumes that there is a gendered structure of knowledge and that organisations are gendered with regard to conceptualisations and policies. Other dimensions of analysis are that of 'women in organisations' (as actors and members), as well as typical interfaces between different levels of organisations and their environment, i.e. clients and social reality of everyday life. The (global) knowledge society is discussed with regard to its gendered organisation and the issue of legitimate carriers and vertical coherence of social knowledge is addressed, looking at NGOs as knowledge producers which are supposed to contribute valid gender knowledge. The bureaucratic management of knowledge in organisations is studied as leading to technocratic, authoritarian modes, excluding gender knowledge and rendering accumulation of experience and learning impossible. The analysis is based on the study of the 'development world' especially in and regarding (West) Africa. In particular, development of local communities and decentralisation (especially referring to the case of Senegal) shows how female spaces are dwindling. No interfaces exist where women's livelihood-oriented and crosscutting knowledge and experience could be brought into the new formal political structures. There is a process of increasing informalisation of organisations of women, providing room to manoeuvre on the one hand, but also exclusion and marginalisation on the other. Men mainly organise themselves in formal groups, women usually in informal ones, thus diminishing their access to formal institutions and also the production of knowledge from their side - such as alternative modes of accumulation between men in the formal and women in the informal sectors. This hinders the upgrading and (resulting) lack of promotion of gendered forms of social cohesion and security. However, global networking and knowledge production are taking place not only in women's organisations and movements, but also in migration and other translocal spaces, with the internet possibly contributing to more horizontal exchange and enabling diversity."

Savoir local, étatique et développementaliste: quelle interaction entre décentralisation et société civile?
Get PDFDer vorliegende Beitrag bezieht sich auf Feldstudien in Senegal, Kamerun und Mali. Das Konzept der Dezentralisierung wird in Bezug auf die Schnittstelle zwischen Wissenssystemen lokaler Akteure betrachtet. Unter Verwendung einer Geschlechterperspektive kann gezeigt werden, dass Dezentralisierung von den weiblichen Akteuren als Zugang zu den Entwicklungsinformationen begriffen wird, der neu ausgehandelt werden muss. Die Frage der vertikalen Kohärenz wird aufgeworfen, wenn Partizipationskonzepte und lokales Ressourcenmanagement betrachtet werden. Konzepte wie die der sozialen Forstwirtschaft lassen einen fragen, wie und wodurch eine Gemeinschaft zusammengehalten wird, wenn es um Übertragung von Macht geht, wodurch externe Interessen und Patron-Klient-Beziehungen in Richtung höherer Gesellschaftsebenen versteckt und verstärkt werden. Diese Art der Devolution von Planungsmacht könnte zum einen die Nichtregierungsorganisationen in einfache Dienstleister verwandeln und zum anderen die lokalen Gemeinschaften ignorieren. (ICDÜbers)"The paper refers to fieldwork in Senegal, Cameroon and Mali. The concept of decentralisation is being challenged regarding the interface of knowledge systems of local actors. We have to ask ourselves about the risk of marginalisation to which the knowledge acquired and generated these last years by peasant organisations after the break down of the development State is subject. Applying a gender perspective, it can be shown that decentralisation is conceived of by female actors as access to development information which they are obliged to renegotiate. The issue of vertical coherence is raised when looking at concepts of participation and local management of natural resources, as well as the risk of capturing by technocratic authority. Concepts such as social forestry make one ask about what community is constructed concerning the devolution of power, thereby hiding and reinforcing external interests and patron-client relations towards upper levels of society. This type devolution of planning power might lead an the one hand to turn NGOs into simple service providers, and an the other construct local communities as ignorant." (author's abstract
