PhD Research
Human Development and
Autonomy in Aid Cooperation:
Experience from four projects in
Nicaragua and El Salvador?
With a conceptual framework rooted
in approaches of capabilities and
human needs, the main objective of
my study is to understand how
projects targeting poor communities
do and can influence autonomy of
individuals to participate as
members of society.
Supportive objectives are: (i) to
develop an analytical framework to
assess autonomy of individuals in
communities, and (ii) to understand
how community empowerment is related
to individual autonomy.
The empirical work is based on four
projects financed by Luxembourg
between 1999 and 2005 in the sectors
of water and sanitation and
reconstruction, in Nicaragua and El
Salvador. The analysis is primarily
qualitative.
