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.

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. To access the report, which is formatted in HTML,
