Gender, rights, development and Islam: Interfaces with transnational aid organizations in Niger.

Gender, rights, development and Islam: Interfaces with transnational aid organizations in Niger. - 285 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Michigan State University, 2007.

This dissertation takes an actor-oriented approach to examining translation, reformulation, and rejection of transnational gender and rights-based development interventions in rural, south-central Niger. These actions are contextualized in complex power relations and social hierarchies around gender, age, kin, class, religion, race, and nation in CARE-Niger, UNICEF-Niger, the Nigerien government, and two rural Nigerien towns where CARE and UNICEF intervene near 'dan Issa. This research explores ways in which actors reinforce and challenge social norms and hierarchies through the constant negotiations that CARE and UNICEF personnel, partners, and aid recipients make with patriarchy, Islam, "tradition," and multiple conceptions of rights. Rights are commonly understood in Niger as reciprocal, relational, and hierarchical rather than individual and equal. Thus, CARE and UNICEF programs are often reformulated to endorse Nigerien conceptions of rights and patriarchy. However, these reformulations differ between CARE and UNICEF in general, each of which has a unique organizational structure and culture, and among individuals affiliated with CARE and UNICEF, who are of different social positionings. In addition, the ways in which actors translate, reformulate, and reject rights and gender in this study problematize any clear distinctions drawn between the "local" and the "global." Rather, a complex picture emerges in which all actors are drawing on particular transnational, national, and regional discourses, resources, and linkages in processes of translation, reformulation, and rejection.

520 $a This dissertation takes an actor-oriented approach to examining translation, reformulation, and rejection of transnational gender and rights-based development interventions in rural, south-central Niger. These actions are contextualized in complex power relations and social hierarchies around gender, age, kin, class, religion, race, and nation in CARE-Niger, UNICEF-Niger, the Nigerien government, and two rural Nigerien towns where CARE and UNICEF intervene near 'dan Issa. This research explores ways in which actors reinforce and challenge social norms and hierarchies through the constant negotiations that CARE and UNICEF personnel, partners, and aid recipients make with patriarchy, Islam, "tradition," and multiple conceptions of rights. Rights are commonly understood in Niger as reciprocal, relational, and hierarchical rather than individual and equal. Thus, CARE and UNICEF programs are often reformulated to endorse Nigerien conceptions of rights and patriarchy. However, these reformulations differ between CARE and UNICEF in general, each of which has a unique organizational structure and culture, and among individuals affiliated with CARE and UNICEF, who are of different social positionings. In addition, the ways in which actors translate, reformulate, and reject rights and gender in this study problematize any clear distinctions drawn between the "local" and the "global." Rather, a complex picture emerges in which all actors are drawing on particular transnational, national, and regional discourses, resources, and linkages in processes of translation, reformulation, and rejection.
520 $a Furthermore, this dissertation connects material circumstances and ideological notions of gender roles and relations through examining (1) changes that have taken place in Niger as a result of structural adjustment programs and increasing privatization, highlighting the contrasting ways in which CARE, UNICEF, and Nigeriens in general have adapted to these changes, (2) social change around gender roles and relations in rural, south-central Niger, which are affected by land scarcity, shifting household economies, the rise of wife seclusion, the growth of Islam, and male labor migration, and (3) the effects of class and (neo)colonial relations on development discourses of CARE, UNICEF, and the Nigerien state, particularly concerning women and gender.
520 $a Extensive field work in Niger and fluency in the Hausa language were necessary to carry out this research. I have done qualitative analysis of semistructured interviews that I conducted in Hausa with (1) a random sample of households in the two rural towns studied and (2) key employees and volunteers in UNICEF-Niger, CARE-Niger, and the Nigerien government. In addition, I attended numerous CARE and UNICEF trainings, workshops, and meetings in 2004 and reviewed current and archived documents from these organizations.
