Migration Aspirations and ‘Glocal Ideas of the Good Life’ in Two Rural Communities in Southern and North-Eastern Ethiopia

Youth on the Move, 2022

This chapter looks at how ‘ideas of the good life’ interacted and coevolved with aspirations to, ... more This chapter looks at how ‘ideas of the good life’ interacted and coevolved with aspirations to, and experiences and effects of, youth migration abroad, in two rural communities in Ethiopia. Aspirations are conceived as a social construct, in which an individual’s representation of her desirable future is formed from her experiences and social interactions. The chapter shows that in both sites, migration aspirations were shaping and being shaped by ideas of the good life and social norms about self-worth that drew on a ‘glocal’ cultural and normative repertoire formed through the continuous inter-penetration of ‘the global’ and ‘the local’. In a complex evolution also influenced by urbanisation, education and communications, migration aspirations and acts embodied the agency of the youth who constructed it through both, their desire for change, and their locally embedded search for recognition, just as generations of young people have done before them.

The study sits at the intersection of three main sets of issues: fragility, budget support, and accountability (with a particular focus on the role of, and space or, civil society in holding government to account). The study provides insights into the rationale, challenges and kinds of conditions applied to budget support to fragile states; the effects of budget support on spending and delivery of basic social and agricultural services, as well as on the experiences of parliaments and civil society/communities in the study countries with regards to the ability to hold governments and donors to account for public spending.

Empowerment through local citizenship

Poverty Reduction and Pro-Poor Growth, 2012

Their empowerment requires participation and accountability in local governance and decision making through effective and inclusive local citizenship. Supporting inclusion requires an understanding of existing power relationships and the practical obstacles to participation faced by poor people. Public sector decentralisation is an important opportunity for empowerment through increased accountability for public expenditure allocations and local delivery of pro-poor policies. Capacity development, for both communities and citizens, must promote leadership and facilitation, communication, advocacy and political skills. Widely available, transparent and substantive information is a critical but easily achievable first step in capacity development. All development aidmodalities can support local empowerment and donors should coordinate to identify and maximise opportunities for empowerment at the local level.

Pro-poor growth is economic growth occurring at a pace and with a pattern such that this enhances the ability of poor people to participate in, contribute to, and benefit from growth.
