Long-lasting but not transformative: An ex-post Sustainability Study of development interventions of Private Development Initiatives
The European Journal of Development Research, 2021Co-Authors: S. Kinsbergen, Dirk-jan Koch, Christine Plaisier, Lau SchulpenAbstract:This article presents the results of the first ex-post Sustainability Study among 93 development interventions implemented between 1990 and 2008 in Kenya, India, South Africa, and Ghana. The interventions were undertaken by 42 different local organisations with support from an equal number of Dutch small-scale, voluntary development organisations. We find that a large number of interventions still achieve the intended output and outcome results. The results show no differences between interventions that took place 5, 10, or 15 years before the Study. Financial dependency on the Dutch partner organisations remains large. The levels of Sustainability differed significantly between the four countries, with Kenya and South Africa portraying the most positive picture. In addition, the results indicate that the majority of the interventions are focusing on the direct reduction of poverty: offering concrete support to people through the provision of basic needs. While many local organisations expect that these interventions will also contribute to more structural change, the findings of this Study question this supposed transformative effect.

Long-Lasting, But Not Transformative. An Ex-post Sustainability Study of Development Interventions of Private Development Initiatives

Cet article présente les résultats de la première étude de durabilité ex post parmi 93 interventions de développement mises en œuvre entre 1990 et 2008 au Kenya, en Inde, en Afrique du Sud et au Ghana. Les interventions ont été menées par 42 organisations locales différentes avec le soutien du même nombre de petites organisations de développement néerlandaises. Nous constatons qu'un grand nombre d'interventions permettent encore d'atteindre les résultats et l’impact escomptés. Les résultats montrent qu’il n’y a aucune différence entre les interventions qui ont eu lieu 5, 10 ou 15 ans avant l'étude. La dépendance financière vis-à-vis des organisations partenaires néerlandaises reste importante. Les degrés de pérennité différaient considérablement entre les quatre pays, avec les résultats les plus positifs en matière de pérennité au Kenya et en Afrique du Sud. En outre, les résultats indiquent que la majorité des interventions se concentrent sur la réduction directe de la pauvreté: elles apportent un soutien concret aux populations en répondant à leurs besoins de base. De nombreuses organisations locales s'attendent à ce que ces interventions contribuent également à un changement plus structurel, mais les conclusions de cette étude remettent en question l’effet transformatif qui est sensé se produire.

A Dynamic Comparison Sustainability Study of Standard Wastewater Treatment System in the Straw Pulp Papermaking Process and Printing & Dyeing Papermaking Process Based on the Hybrid Neural Network and Emergy Framework
Water, 2020Co-Authors: Junxue Zhang, Yanyan YanAbstract:Sustainability Study of the standard wastewater treatment system is the pivotal procedure in the water protection field. In order to better Study the Sustainability of sewage treatment systems, wastewater treatment system of straw pulp papermaking (WTSPP) and wastewater treatment system of printing and dyeing and papermaking (WTPDP) have been selected to assess the sustainable level in China. Based on the hybrid neural network and emergy framework, WTSPP and WTPDP were considered and analyzed in this paper. Therein, three types of indicators were used to evaluate these two systems, including basic structure emergy indicators (BEI), functional emergy indicators (FEI), and eco-efficiency emergy indicators (EEI). Through the basic neural network model and detailed neural network model design, the iteration paths and algorithm operation diagram of WTSPP and WTPDP were designed and realized in this article. Primary contents include: (1) For WTSPP and WTPDP, nonrenewable resources emergy are both the primary contributor and account for roughly 62.5% and 53.7%, respectively. (2) As the important indicator group, the environmental loading ratio (ELR) is 176 in the WTSPP and 323 in the WTPDP, respectively. Emergy Sustainability indicators (ESIs) in the WTSPP and WTPDP, are 0.015 and 0.014, respectively. (3) Depending on fluctuation degrees, WTSPP is better than WTPDP. The maximum fluctuation ranges of WTSPP and WTPDP are (3%, −27%) and (28%, 61%), respectively. (4) All neural network analysis results manifest that the emergy Sustainability indicators (ESIs) of WTSPP and WTPDP are [0.0151, 0.011] and [0.0179, 0.0055] in view of a long-term predictive view, respectively.
