In this interview with UCL’s Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou, Lefteris Papagiannakis explains his role as Athens’ vice mayor for migrants and refugees. He discusses the city’s responses to the arrival of thousands of refugees and migrants in the last few years. He reflects on the complex relationship of the municipality of Athens with non-government support networks, such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations, as well as autonomous local activists, in providing support services to migrants. Papagiannakis also addresses how Athens negotiates its support for these groups in the current European anti-immigrant climate, and the relationship between the Greek economic crisis and the so-called “refugee crisis.”

Survey Results

Ceramic pot filters (CPFs) are an effective means of household water treatment, but the characterization of CPF lifetimes is ongoing. This paper describes a lifetime field study in Guatemala which was made possible by a collaboration between researchers, CPF-using households, and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Disinfection data were collected periodically for two years using field coliform enumeration kits as were flow rate data with the assistance of NGO staff. Consumer acceptance was characterized by surveying householders in the four subject villages at the beginning and end of the study. Flow rate data showed that average CPF flow rates decreased below the recommended minimum of 1 L h−1 after 10 months of use; however, the survey results indicated that the consumers were tolerant of the lower flow rates, and it is reasonable to assume that the daily volume of treated water can be readily increased by refilling the CPFs more frequently. Of greater concern was the finding that disinfection efficacy decreased below the recommended bacterial reduction after 14 months of use because it would not be obvious to users that effectiveness had declined. Finally, the follow-up visits by the researchers and the NGO staff appeared to increase consumer acceptance of the CPFs.

Cultural exchanges are an essential component of humanitarian interaction between countries and societies, in particular, between political partners and neighboring states whose citizens regularly communicate with each other. This paper discusses cooperation in the area of cultural exchanges between the Russian Federation and one of its Central Asian neighbors the former Soviet republic of Turkmenistan. To date, cultural exchanges and humanitarian cooperation have received very little attention in Central Asian studies, despite the attention paid to Russian-Turkmen economic cooperation and policy aspects. This paper is aimed at illuminating the modes, factors, dynamics, and defining features of the Russia-Turkmenistan cooperation in the area of cultural exchanges over the recent decade. The notions “cultural exchanges”, “humanitarian cooperation”, and “cooperation in the area of cultural exchanges” are explored in Russian-Turkmen diplomatic documents and the legislation of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The author has studied such sources as diplomatic documents, interviews, newsletters of state institutions and non-governmental organizations, and news archives of Russian and Turkmen media.

This research investigates the roles of international and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Liberia 10 years after the 14-year civil war ended in 2003. Soldiers of the war included a large number of child soldiers who are currently combatants at differing levels and phases of reintegration into society. A survey was conducted to generate descriptive empirical information about the roles NGOs play in ex-combatants’ reintegration and the knowledge, skills, and training needed to assist ex-combatants. Communicative and emerging social technologies appear, according to survey results, to also contribute to NGO service delivery.

This article analyzes the recently formed transnational networks of Islamic education between Turkey and Africa south of the Sahara through the study of the neglected case of Erenköy Cemaati. The expansion of the schools affiliated with Erenköy Cemaati cannot be divorced from Turkey’s Africa strategy and the growing importance of education within it since the late 2000s. Although Sufi orders and state institutions historically represent two divergent and conflicting streams of Islamic education in Turkey, the analysis of Erenköy Cemaati’s schools in Africa south of the Sahara reveal their rapprochement in novel ways. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Turkey, Tanzania, and Senegal, this article shows that the complex relations between the Turkish state and Sufi orders in the field of education in Africa are facilitated by a constellation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Situating ethnographic data in historical context, it argues that the Islamic schools of Erenköy Cemaati are produced by the overlapping processes of the NGOization of Sufi orders in response to earlier state repression in Turkey and the NGOization of education in the wake of the neoliberal restructuring in Africa. While contributing to our understanding of post-coup Turkey and its evolving relations with Africa south of the Sahara, this article provides at the same time a new window into the NGOization of Islamic education on the continent.

O presente trabalho propõe-se a estudar o Programa de Cisternas, implementado na região rural do município de Barreira (CE), uma vez que o acesso à água é um tema frequentemente discutido na comunidade. Na região, os problemas acerca do abastecimento de água são diversos, principalmente para as comunidades mais afastadas do centro da cidade. Trata-se de identificar em que medida a população-alvo foi beneficiada pelo programa, cuja iniciativa pertence a duas organizações não governamentais atuantes no local, uma nacional e a outra internacional. Utilizou-se a pesquisa qualitativa, com técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, além da aplicação de entrevistas às famílias participantes do programa. Os resultados da pesquisa, mostram que o programa trouxe melhorias, tais como a facilidade e garantia no acesso à água, porém suscita questões muito mais profundas e complexas relacionadas à aspectos financeiros, de gênero, políticos e de desenvolvimento local.Palavras-chave: Terceiro setor.

The access to water is a topic frequently discussed in the community. In the region, water supply problems are diverse, especially for communities located far away from downtown. It intends to identify the extent to which the target population was benefited by the program, whose initiative belongs to two non-governmental organizations operating on the location, a national and an international ones. It was conducted a qualitative research, with bibliographic and documentary research techniques, in addition to the application of interviews to families attending the program. The survey results show that the program has brought improvements, such as ease and guarantee access to water supply, but it raises much deeper and more complex issues related to financial, gender, political and local development aspects. Keywords: Third sector.

Gender Based

In recent years, gender-based violence has become highly visible and recognized by the Vietnamese state and the public more broadly. This article addresses the space that has recently widened, with the Vietnamese state's 1986 đôi mó'i or renovation policies, for local innovation and global influence on approaches to curtailing wife abuse and assisting women abused by their husbands. Anthropology can help us to understand some of the constraints and contradictions that can arise in such a space of innovation. For instance, ethnographic research reveals how local Vietnamese non-governmental organizations (VNGOs), state institutions, and international organizations in Vietnam can cooperate to develop and implement new and potentially beneficial programs for abused women. Yet, at the same time, frontline practitioners struggle to implement these new approaches, with cultural lenses that limit acceptance of new ideologies, few resources that provide long-term support to abused women, or, in some cases, little exposure to the new ideas. Anthropological research can assist in identifying the cultural and structural constraints experienced by individuals working with abused women and community members, and the contradictions that can arise between the shaping and the implementing of policy addressing wife abuse, particularly globally influenced ideologies and practices introduced into a society.
