Motiven hos biståndsfinansierade NGOs i utvecklingsländer: en spelteoretisk approach UNDERSTANDING THE RATIONALES OF DONORS-FUNDED CIVIL SOCIETY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: A GAME THEORY APPROACH Drawing on different theoretical perspectives, the project explores the institutional and power constellations influencing the ability of the states of Bolivia, Argentina and Paraguay to fight land degradation in the Gran Chaco Americano, the largest dry forests in South America. These countries share many historical and cultural features and the same environmental objective, while they differ as regards theoretically relevant variables as their degree of decentralization. By means of within-country and cross-country analysis, the study will provide empirical insights on the characteristics and implications of state involvement in the region and contribute to theoretical development regarding the conditions and implications of institutional interplay for environmental protection in complex ecosystems. The study will, hopefully, have practical significance for policy-making in the region. This project questions the view, mainly based on Putnam´s theory of social capital that civil society in form of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in developing countries can act as agency for social change. Based on this view, large funds have been channeled to NGOs with the assumption that NGOs can advance development and stimulate democracy. Where corruption is the social norm due to the lack of appropriate rules, empirical evidence does not correspond to social capital theory. There is often a discrepancy between the assumed role of NGOs according to the premises of social capital and their behavior that has been described as being corrupt and self-serving. There is however no conducted studies to explain from a theoretical point of view why NGOs often perform the way described. Thus our research aims to bridge this academic gap. We put forward and examine the applicability of game theory to explain the behavior of NGOs. We explore the different rationales of NGOs in relation to their specific context. The research is designed as case studies and will use the described qualitative and quantitative methods. We aim to contribute to theoretical development of our understanding of civil society, in particular regarding the role of the social context and linking theory with practice. The research will also generate knowledge for policy measures on the usefulness of aid to fulfill the purposes of advancing development and democracy goals.

SWE-2010-155 Sustainable State-Building? - Assessing Energy Development Projects in Kosovo and Nepal SWE-2010-155 Sustainable State-Building? - Assessing Energy Development Projects in Kosovo and Nepal The project is a comparative study of impact and durability of energy projects, which are promoted by international community in Kosovo and Nepal as post-conflict statebuilding measures. Main aim is to study if policies adopted for energy production are sustainable in terms of long-term peace and development. The project further aims to investigate a) the role and behaviour of external statebuilding actors in fostering sustainable energy policy as part of inclusive statebuilding and b) how domestic institutions and actors that are affected by these policies address environmental and natural resource issues in relation to energy production. The project contributes to understand dynamics between external and internal actors after conflict and the incorporation of sustainable development in statebuilding strategies as such.

SWE-2011-28 African urban agriculture: social, economic and environmental challenges and prospects under changing global and demographic realitie SWE-2011-28 African urban agriculture: social, economic and environmental challenges and prospects under changing global and demographic realitie Urbanization rates in Africa are increasing rapidly, while rising food prices and domestic climate change effects are likely to make feeding urban areas more problematic even in the near future. In this context, urban agriculture (UA) appears to be taking on an increasingly important role as a source of food and income. Nonetheless, the social, economic and environmental effects of UA, especially in intermediate sized urban areas are poorly understood. The project uses a multi-disciplinary mixed-methods approach combining household level interviews and survey data with collection of soil and water samples in eight urban areas in Ghana and Kenya to investigate how how UA influences household food security and welfare, whether differences based on socio-economic status and gender can be found in patterns of UA, and the health related consequences of UA.

Recycling networks. Grassroots resilience tackling climate, environmental and poverty challenges Gräsrotsmotstånd tacklar klimatförändring, miljöproblem- och fattigdom i återvinnande nätverk. Millions of informal waste pickers collect household waste daily in cities around the globe to earn a living. In doing so, they make a significant contribution to reducing the carbon footprint of cities, recovering resources, improving environmental conditions and health of low-income residents, creating jobs and income among the poor. This project aims at examining the challenges that innovative grassroots initiatives and networks encounter and the livelihood practices they generate, to improve recycling and household waste management in informal settlements of global South cities. The project’s methodology is inspired by participatory action research through a combination of a) a multiple case study on waste picker initiatives in Managua (Nicaragua), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Buenos Aires (Argentina) and São Paulo (Brazil) and Kisumu (Kenya) based on interviews, observations, workshops and document analysis b) joint knowledge co- production with regional and global waste picker networks erforming as knowledge hubs for the project c) an in-depth case study of the City of Kisumu, where the learnings from the multi-case studies will be integrated and d) international joint research and waste picker seminars to co-produce knowledge to conceptualize solution to the challenges. Theoretically, the project will also contribute to applying and expanding a combination of theories of socioenvironmental and institutional entrepreneurship with resilience theories. Avfall samlas och hanteras dagligen av miljontals informella avfallsarbetare –sopletare – i städer runt jorden. Med sitt arbete bidrar de avsevärt till att minska städers miljöavtryck, återvinner resurser, förbättrar levnads- och hälsovillkor för låginkomsttagare, samt skapar arbeten och inkomster för fattiga. Det här projektet syftar till att undersöka de utmaningar gräsrotsinitiativ och-nätverk möter samt de utkomstpraktiker de genererar, för att förbättra återvinning och hämtning och hantering av hushållsavfall i informella områden i globala syds städer. Metodologiskt är projektet inspirerat av deltagande aktionsforskning genom en kombination av: a) en multipel fallstudie av sopletarinitiativ i Managua (Nicaragua), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Buenos Aires (Argentina) São Paulo (Brasilien) och Kisumu (Kenya) baserat på intervjuer, observationer, workshops och dokumentstudier; b) gemensam kunskapsproduktion där regionala och globala sopletarnätverk utgör kunskaps-noder; c) en djupfallstudie av Kisumu, var kunskapen genererad från den multipla fallstudien integreras och d) internationella sopletar- och forskarseminarier. Teoretiskt bidrar projektet med att använda och utveckla en kombination av teorier om socio- och miljömässigt entreprenörskap, institutionellt entreprenörskap och resiliens-teori.

Tarmbakterier i myggor: överföring, värdberoende och effekter på immunsystemet Gut bacteria in vector mosquitoes: transmission, host dependency and effects on the immune system Mikrobiella interaktioner spelar en viktig roll för hur värdorganismens liv fungerar. Både exponering för mikrober och inneboende egenskaper hos värdorganismen förväntas påverka relationen. Två vektormyggor av stor betydelse är malariavektorn Anopheles gambiae och Aedes albopictus, vektor för denguefeber och Chikungunyavirus. Det långsiktiga syftet med detta projekt är att påverka floran i myggorna för att i sin tur påverka de patogener de bär på. Men för att uppnå detta måste vi förstå bakteriernas roll i myggorna. Är det den ekologiska nischen eller värdspecifika fysiologiska faktorer som påverkar tarmflorans sammansättning i myggor, eller kanske båda? Vi kommer att jämföra den mikrobiella floran hos två myggarter som har helt skilda levnadssätt, och undersöka vilken effekt på äggläggning och immunitet tarmfloran spelar. Denna studie kommer att ge svar på grundläggande frågor i mikrobiell ekologi som bara kan undersökas i kontrollerade miljöer. More and more evidence support the hypothesis that microbial interactions play a vital role in shaping the fate of their host organisms. While the host-organism exposure to microbes set the prerequisite for interactions, also inherent properties of the host organism are expected to affect the relationship. Two vector mosquitoes of great importance are the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae and Aedes albopictus, vector of Dengue and Chikungunya viruses. The possibility to negatively impact vector competence by interfering with the host-microbial relationship is the long-term purpose of this project. However, to achieve interference, we need to better understand the bacterial relationship with the mosquito hosts. What is affecting the gut flora composition in mosquitoes, the ecological niche or host-specific physiological factors or both? The rationale is to compare the microbial flora composition of two vector mosquito species that have completely distinct ecologies, and investigate what effect on fitness the gut flora play. The aims presented here will give responses to fundamental questions in microbial ecology that only could be investigated in controlled lab settings. How will the microbial composition change in both species when bred in the same environment? Which is the mode of bacterial transfer between mosquitoes? What impact does the gut microbial-flora have on basal systemic immune activity and fecundity?
