Development Community (SADC) region should embrace the concept of freedom of information to enable better human rights and economic development. Design/methodology/approach – The paper reviews the current situation through discussion of current legislation and proposed policies. Findings – Whereas several theories abound as to why there has been little development in sub- Saharan Africa, this paper discusses the status of freedom of information legislations within the SADC region and the implications for accountability and transparency in the management of public resources. Research limitations/implications – The paper suggests the importance of further research into the importance of freedom of information legislation for economic and human rights development. Practical implications – The paper has practical implication for those considering the potential of freedom of information legislation in developing countries. Originality/value – Freedom of information has largely taken a back seat amidst several social, economic and political reforms that have been instituted collectively or by individual countries. It is the view of this paper that freedom of information provides an important link for the economic, social and political reform initiatives</td> </tr> <tr class="ds-table-row even"> <td> <span class="bold">URI:</span> </td> <td> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130820145954/http://hdl.handle.net/10311/438">http://hdl.handle.net/10311/438</a> </td> </tr> </table> <h2 class="slider-files-header">Files in this item: 1</h2> <div class="slider-bitstreams"> <span> <a class="bitstream-file" href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/bitstream/handle/10311/438/Mutula_LR_2006.pdf?sequence=1" title="Mutula_LR_2006.pdf">Mutula_LR_2006.pdf</a> </span> <span class="bitstream-filesize">(917.1Kb) </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li> <div class="ds-artifact-item odd"> <div class="ds-artifact-item-with-popup "> <div class="artifact-description"> <div class="artifact-title"> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/handle/10311/425">Health worker opionion/perception of health services provided to patients in Selibe Phikwe Ni-Cu mine area, Botswana</a> </div> <div class="artifact-info"> <span class="author">Ekosse, G.; Jager, L.; Van den Heever, D.J.</span> <span class="publisher-date">(<span class="publisher">African Forum of Health Sciences http://www.ajol.info/index.php/ajhs/article/view/30803/23134</span>, <span class="date"> NaN, 2005</span>)</span> </div> </div> <div class="item_metadata_more"> <div class="item_more_text">[more]</div> <div style="display: none" class="item_less_text">[less]</div> </div> <div class="item_metadata_slider hidden"> <table class="ds-includeSet-metadata-table"> <tr class="ds-table-row even"> <td> <span class="bold">Abstract:</span> </td> <td>This study determines the prevalence of types of sicknesses and diseases affecting patients vising health service facilities and the available health services within the Selebi Phikwe Ni-Cu area, Botswana.Through the administration of the questionnaires and structured questions, attempts were made to establish and verify the existing human health problems at the study area by focusing on respiratory tract related symptoms of sicknesses and diseases.With the aid of Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS), interpreted results from respondents indicated that all the health service providers served patients suffering from headaches, persistent coughing, chest pains, lower abdominal pains, pain when passing out urine, genital discharge and diarrhea.Seventy one percent of the health service providers indicated that their patients who suffered from recent loss of body weight, and another 86 % pointed out that their patients had influenza/common cold. Other health complaints reported included unusual spitting, shortness of breath, palpitations, neausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Moreover the health service providers indicated that they had patients who suffered from significant illnesses of which some passed away. However, if they are lacking facilities, patients are referred to bigger health service providers in the country. The findings of the study do not general depict demarcating differnces of health status of residents of the study area to those of the control site. A need therefore for further investigations to be conducted to establish relations of mining activities to human health at Selebi Phikwe is called for.</td> </tr> <tr class="ds-table-row even"> <td> <span class="bold">URI:</span> </td> <td> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130820145954/http://hdl.handle.net/10311/425">http://hdl.handle.net/10311/425</a> </td> </tr> </table> <h2 class="slider-files-header">Files in this item: 1</h2> <div class="slider-bitstreams"> <span> <a class="bitstream-file" href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/bitstream/handle/10311/425/Ekosse_AJHS_2005.pdf?sequence=1" title="Ekosse_AJHS_2005.pdf">Ekosse_AJHS_2005.pdf</a> </span> <span class="bitstream-filesize">(1.623Mb) </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li> <div class="ds-artifact-item even"> <div class="ds-artifact-item-with-popup "> <div class="artifact-description"> <div class="artifact-title"> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/handle/10311/418">Traditional ecological knowledge and community-based natural resource management: lessons from a Botswana wildlife management area</a> </div> <div class="artifact-info"> <span class="author">Phuthego, T.C.; Chanda, R.</span> <span class="publisher-date">(<span class="publisher">Elsevier http://www.linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S014362280300033X</span>, <span class="date"> NaN, 2004</span>)</span> </div> </div> <div class="item_metadata_more"> <div class="item_more_text">[more]</div> <div style="display: none" class="item_less_text">[less]</div> </div> <div class="item_metadata_slider hidden"> <table class="ds-includeSet-metadata-table"> <tr class="ds-table-row even"> <td> <span class="bold">Abstract:</span> </td> <td>The advent of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) in Botswana in the late 1980s ushered in a new paradigm in natural resource management. The strategy marked a change from state-controlled to community-controlled wildlife management. The expectation is that under community control, local expertise on biodiversity, termed in this paper as traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), plays a significant role that is supposedly facilitated through local institutions and traditional practices. This paper examines the incorporation of TEK in the CBNRM projects in KD 1, which is a controlled-hunting area (CHA) in the north-western part of the Kgalagadi North sub-district, Botswana and illustrates that the projects acknowledge and demonstrate the utility value of TEK in sustainable natural resource management. It concludes that TEK systems and institutions could serve as entry points into sustainable natural resource utilisation and management. This could be achieved through the exploration of cultural practices of the local people and integrating useful aspects into the modern natural resource management expertise.</td> </tr> <tr class="ds-table-row even"> <td> <span class="bold">URI:</span> </td> <td> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130820145954/http://hdl.handle.net/10311/418">http://hdl.handle.net/10311/418</a> </td> </tr> </table> <h2 class="slider-files-header">Files in this item: 1</h2> <div class="slider-bitstreams"> <span> <a class="bitstream-file" href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/bitstream/handle/10311/418/Phuthego_AG_2004.pdf?sequence=1" title="Phuthego_AG_2004.pdf">Phuthego_AG_2004.pdf</a> </span> <span class="bitstream-filesize">(1.867Mb) </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li> <div class="ds-artifact-item odd"> <div class="ds-artifact-item-with-popup "> <div class="artifact-description"> <div class="artifact-title"> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/handle/10311/411">Resource use conflicts: the future of the Kalahari ecosystem</a> </div> <div class="artifact-info"> <span class="author">Moleele, N.M.; Mainah, J.</span> <span class="publisher-date">(<span class="publisher">Elsevier http://www.linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0140196302910992</span>, <span class="date"> NaN, 2003</span>)</span> </div> </div> <div class="item_metadata_more"> <div class="item_more_text">[more]</div> <div style="display: none" class="item_less_text">[less]</div> </div> <div class="item_metadata_slider hidden"> <table class="ds-includeSet-metadata-table"> <tr class="ds-table-row even"> <td> <span class="bold">Abstract:</span> </td> <td>The Kalahari ecosystem is characterized by natural resource conflicts and land-use pressure resulting from intensification of human activities. This paper addresses three issues of concern associated with the Kalahari ecosystem resource management: (i) the major land-use/land cover shifts in the Kalahari ecosystem since 1970 and the resulting pattern in vegetation species composition, cover and density; (ii) the possible explanations for the observed shifts; and (iii) the possible resource conflicts likely to arise. Data collection involved the comparison of two sets of panchromatic photographs along two transects (Hukunsti–Ngwatle and Tshane–Tsabong) to study land-use/cover shifts that have occurred in the Kalahari ecosystem between 1971 and 1986. Secondly, the nature of possible conflicts resulting from population pressure and associated patterns of land-use was investigated by making observations on selected environmental variables along a 300km transect with diverse environments comprising different-sized settlements, vegetation communities and land-uses. Land-use/land cover shifts have occurred within the Kalahari ecosystem as evidenced by the two transects analysed in this paper. The main changes are the retreat of grass cover up to 18 kms from settlements and the increase in thorny and non-thorny woody encroachers closer to the settlements. In the Matsheng area, land-use/land cover gradients reflect marked differences in human pressure. For instance, while settlements (kraals/households) and fields around Tshane (smaller and dwindling settlement) have declined to 5% at the 4 km distance in 1986, these landuses account for 22?3% of land cover at 4 km around Hukuntsi (bigger and expanding village). Five major vegetation communities were identified using key plant species during the dry season. However, these communities do not have distinct land-use activities associated with them. Cattle densities were higher in communities found far away from settlements and water points where the grass cover was abundant. Cattle graze far from settlements to obtain quality fodder and trek to the water points around village pans or at cattle posts. There are no definite boundaries between vegetation communities and land-use activities, hence a lot of interaction between activities of these zones depends on the dispersion of resources. Shifts in land-use/cover changes can be accounted for by anthropogenic activities (arable agriculture, livestock grazing and human settlements) enhanced by natural factors like seasonal variations and prolonged droughts of the mid-1980s. It is argued in this paper that potential remedial measures include biosphere conservation areas, resource zoning and resource modeling plans to determine land suitability.</td> </tr> <tr class="ds-table-row even"> <td> <span class="bold">URI:</span> </td> <td> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130820145954/http://hdl.handle.net/10311/411">http://hdl.handle.net/10311/411</a> </td> </tr> </table> <h2 class="slider-files-header">Files in this item: 1</h2> <div class="slider-bitstreams"> <span> <a class="bitstream-file" href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/bitstream/handle/10311/411/Moleele_JAE_2003.pdf?sequence=1" title="Moleele_JAE_2003.pdf">Moleele_JAE_2003.pdf</a> </span> <span class="bitstream-filesize">(1.813Mb) </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar"> <h3 class="ds-option-set-head" id="ds-search-option-head">Search DSpace</h3> <div xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" class="ds-option-set" id="ds-search-option"> <form method="post" id="ds-search-form" action="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/search"> <fieldset> <input type="text" class="ds-text-field " name="query"/> <input xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" value="Go" type="submit" name="submit" class="ds-button-field " onclick=" var radio = document.getElementById("ds-search-form-scope-container"); if (radio != undefined && radio.checked) { var form = document.getElementById("ds-search-form"); form.action= "/handle/" + radio.value + "/search" ; } "/> <br/> <label> <input checked="checked" value="" name="scope" type="radio" id="ds-search-form-scope-all"/>Search DSpace</label> <br xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1"/> <label> <input name="scope" type="radio" id="ds-search-form-scope-container" value="10311/396"/>This Community</label> </fieldset> </form> <a id="ds-search-form-advanced-search-link" href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/advanced-search">Advanced Search</a> </div> <h3 xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" xmlns:dri="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" class="ds-option-set-head">Browse</h3> <div xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" xmlns:dri="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" id="aspect_artifactbrowser_Navigation_list_browse" class="ds-option-set"> <ul class="ds-options-list"> <li> <h4 class="ds-sublist-head">All of DSpace</h4> <ul xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" class="ds-simple-list"> <li> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/community-list" class="">Communities & Collections</a> </li> <li xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/browse?type=dateissued" class="">By Issue Date</a> </li> <li xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/browse?type=author" class="">Authors</a> </li> <li xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/browse?type=title" class="">Titles</a> </li> <li xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/browse?type=subject" class="">Subjects</a> </li> </ul> </li> <li xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <h4 class="ds-sublist-head">This Community</h4> <ul xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" class="ds-simple-list"> <li> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/handle/10311/396/browse?type=dateissued" class="">By Issue Date</a> </li> <li xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/handle/10311/396/browse?type=author" class="">Authors</a> </li> <li xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/handle/10311/396/browse?type=title" class="">Titles</a> </li> <li xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/handle/10311/396/browse?type=subject" class="">Subjects</a> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <h3 xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" xmlns:dri="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" class="ds-option-set-head">My Account</h3> <div xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" xmlns:dri="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" id="aspect_artifactbrowser_Navigation_list_account" class="ds-option-set"> <ul class="ds-simple-list"> <li> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/login" class="">Login</a> </li> <li xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/register" class="">Register</a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" id="footer"> <p style="width: 674px;"/> <div id="ds-footer-links"> <a href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/contact">Contact Us</a> | <a xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" href="/web/20130820145954/http://ubrisa.ub.bw/feedback">Send Feedback</a> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
