UNIVERSITY OF GHANA, Visitation Panel, Organising for the Future, Remarks of the Chairman Sir John Daniel, at the Opening Ceremony, 30 April 2007 // We, the members of the Visitation Panel, are both deeply honoured by the invitation to undertake this important task and acutely conscious of the heavy responsibility that we bear. In recent years Ghana's premier university has been rocked by failures of organisation which, by undermining the credibility of its examinations, have sapped the institution's reputation. // The Panel's immediate task is to help the University of Ghana restore its academic integrity and regain its traditional credibility. But if that were all the Vice-Chancellor would not have brought together such a diverse and distinguished group of people. I have the privilege of leading an enormously eminent team. Our Vice-Chairman is your distinguished former Vice-Chancellor, Professor Aki Sawyerr, who is currently Secretary-General of the Association of African Universities. The Panel includes well-known Ghanaians and academics, experts and institutional leaders from five other countries: India, Jamaica, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the USA who are serving in a personal capacity. UNESCO is assisting the process by assigning Ms Stamenka Uvaliæ-Trumbiæ of its Higher Education Division to the Panel and the Commonwealth of Learning is expressing its support through my own participation. // Our wider task is to help the University organise itself for the future. Although that future will present an ever-changing environment, the University's mission expresses aspirations that are valid for any future. According to the Strategic Plan the mission of the University of Ghana is to 'develop world-class human resources and capabilities to meet national development needs and global challenges through quality teaching, learning, research and knowledge dissemination'.

SUMMARY This article describes how a scattered group of women in Bombay, who cook for male migrant workers in their own homes, organised to improve their working conditions. Although isolated from each other, and with interests in conflict with their worker customers, they have succeeded in freeing themselves from reliance on money‐lenders, and in winning some recognition of their rights as workers.RESUME Organiser l'AnnapurnaCet article décrit comment un groupe de femmes isolées qui font la cuisine à Bombay chez les travailleurs migrants masculins, se sont organisées pour améliorer leurs conditions de travail. Bien qu'isolées les unes autres, et quoique leurs intérêts aillent à l'encontre de ceux de leurs clients, elles ont réussi à ne plus faire appel aux prêteurs sur gages et à obtenir certains droits.RESUMEN Organización del AnnapurnaEn este artículo se describe la manera en que un grupo disperso de mujeres en Bombay, que cocina para trabajadores inmigrantes masculinos en sus propios hogares, se organizó para mejorar sus condiciones de trabajo.

Organising water
The increasingly complex challenges of making water management more sustainable require a critical and detailed understanding of the social organisation of water. This paper examines the hitherto neglected role that 'intermediary' organisations play in reshaping the relations between the provision and use of water and sanitation services. In response to new regulatory, environmental, social, and commercial pressures the relationships between water utilities, consumers, and regulators are changing, creating openings for both new and existing organisations to take on intermediary functions. Drawing on recent EU-funded research we provide the first systematic analysis of intermediary organisations in the European water sector, examining the contexts of their emergence, the ways they work, the functions they perform, and the impacts they can have. With a combination of conceptual and empirical analysis we substantiate and elaborate the case for appreciating the often hidden work of intermediaries. We caution, however, against over-simplistic conclusions on harnessing this potential, highlighting instead the need to reframe perspectives on how water is organised to contemplate actor constellations and interactions beyond the common triad of provider, consumer, and regulator. ; Peer Reviewed
