“…In this neoliberal logic, there is a shift in how beneficiaries are conceived: from being clients (i.e. passive receivers of welfare services), they start to become consumers (Luccisano, ). This approach shifts the responsibility of well‐being from the state to low‐income individuals, and structural causes of poverty and inequalities are not addressed.…”

Abstract:The interest in the potential role of community enterprises in sustaining self-managed development strategies stems from the analysis of the scarce results provided by top-down development interventions in indigenous settings. This paper reports on an ethnographic study carried out in the Mexican state of Chiapas, where 16 community enterprises managed by local indigenous communities have been analysed. The focus of the analysis was to identify the main needs of local indigenous communities and the contribution that community enterprises could give to addressing these needs. The main findings pinpoint some enabling factors for the emergence of community enterprises and some specific characteristics that explain the contribution of community enterprises in supporting alternative approaches to development, where local communities are actors of their own development processes.

L’analyse qualitative du Programme national d’aide alimentaire (PRONAA) et du programme d’appui aux plus pauvres – JUNTOS – éclaire les représentations des rapports sociaux de sexe qui y sont véhiculées. Deux représentations émergent de cette analyse : le maternalisme et les relations conflictuelles entre femmes bénéficiaires. L’argument central de l’auteure consiste à démontrer que les politiques de lutte contre la pauvreté sont passées de politiques fondées sur le travail collectif des femmes, responsables du bien-être social, à des politiques individualistes où la mère isolée devient la seule responsable du bien-être de la famille et de la communauté.The qualitative analysis carried out by PRONAA (National Alimentary Aid Program) and of the Conditional Cash Transfer – JUNTOS – highlights the representations of gender relations conveyed by these programs. Two representations emerge from this analysis: motherhood and the conflict relations between women beneficiaries. The central argument of this paper tries to demonstrate that the anti-poverty policies have shifted from policies based on the collective work of women, who are responsible of social welfare, to individualist policies with which the isolated mother becomes the sole responsible for family and community welfare

“…Untuk itu diperlukan strategi lain yang dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan secara berkelanjutan. Berdasarkan pengalaman di negara lain, skim bantuan tunai bersyarat (conditional cash transfer) atau bantuan padat karya (welfare to work) merupakan bentuk alternatif program untuk peningkatan kesejahteraan keluarga (Luccisano 2004;Williamson & Salkie 2005 Investasi dalam pendidikan dan pelatihan merupakan instrumen yang mempunyai potensi besar dalam upaya menurunkan perbedaan pendapatan dan meningkatkan produktivitas serta memberikan pendapatan kepada golongan ekonomi bawah (Radwan 1995). Perbaikan pendidikan mengakibatkan peningkatan produktivitas dalam pertanian, karena petani yang berpendidikan cenderung memiliki rasa keingintahuan yang lebih tinggi akan teknik produksi dan cepat inovasi baru.…”
