This study is an appreciation of the contributions of the Village Savings and Loan Associations scheme to peace between its members and the community. It seeks to demonstrate, by means of specific examples of existing groups of the village savings and associations (Mukando) scheme in ward 8 of the Seke district, Mashonaland East province, Zimbabwe, that although the scheme helps to fight poverty and financial vulnerability among the poor people, it promotes peace as well. The study revealed that the key elements, namely social capital, friendships, social relationships, coexistence and tolerance, on which the scheme is anchored, are major factors that contribute to peace. It also emerged that the creation of the scheme increases the capacities of its members to access supportive networks, befriend each other and coexist in a tolerant way, thus, helping to foster factors that promote peace between members within the community. Therefore, reproducing the Mukando scheme could imply building more stable households and communities.

The Impact

Over the past twenty years, the high penetration of mobile phones as a means of interpersonal communication, especially among adolescents, has facilitated access to broader social environments outside their own family. Through the extension of their social environment, teenagers are able to establish new and more extensive relationships, while facing risks that may negatively affect their socialization process. The aim of this article was to find out how computer-mediated communication helps or obstructs the creation of social capital between teenagers, and what are the consequences of its use for this age group. To achieve this, an index of social capital was developed in the study, designed to determine the positive or negative impact of certain components of mobile mediated communication in the creation of this intangible resource. Questionnaires were distributed among Spanish adolescents of secondary and high school age, from different public and private schools of Navarre. Furthermore, the study considered the adolescents’ own perceptions about the incidence of the use of mobile phones in their social relationships. As reflected in the results, to identify the components of mediated communication that significantly affect social capital it is necessary to conduct an objective measurement of this resource. La alta penetración del teléfono móvil entre los adolescentes y su uso como medio de comunicación inter-personal ha facilitado para este público el acceso, durante los últimos veinte años, a entornos más amplios, distintos al familiar. A través de la extensión de su ámbito social, estos son capaces de establecer nuevos vínculos y relaciones más extensas, al tiempo que se enfrentan a riesgos que afectan de manera negativa a su proceso de socialización. El objetivo de este trabajo fue conocer de qué manera la comunicación mediada por la tecnología favorece o no la creación de capital social entre las comunidades de adolescentes, y cuáles son las consecuencias que pueden resultar de su uso para este grupo de edad. Para ello se propuso un índice de capital social, que permitiera conocer el impacto positivo o negativo que tienen determinados componentes de la comunicación mediada por el móvil en la creación de este recurso. Se repartieron cuestionarios entre jóvenes españoles de la ESO y Bachillerato, en colegios públicos y privados de la Comunidad Foral de Navarra. Además, se tuvo en cuenta la propia percepción de los adolescentes, sobre la incidencia del uso de este dispositivo en sus relaciones sociales. Tal como reflejan los resultados, solo a través de una medición objetiva del capital social es posible identificar aquellos componentes de la comunicación mediada que afectan de manera significativa a este recurso.

The Village

In 2015 the central government implemented the Village Fund program for all villages in Indonesia. The objective of this program was to accelerate poverty alleviation and promote village independence. One of the development priorities in rural areas is to achieve village independence by developing tourism villages with village funds. Meanwhile, at the end of 2019, the Covid-19 pandemic that broke out in Indonesia led to an increase in poverty in rural areas. This increased the need for assistance from village funds to help improve the welfare of the poor. In this study, the Giri Manik Village was examined because it was one of the national pilot villages in developing a tourist village using village funds. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation analysis. Based on the results, it can be concluded that developing the physical infrastructure of tourist villages does increase the income of the poor through cash-intensive labour. However, the benefits of tourist villages are largely enjoyed by the village elite. Keywords: village funds, tourist village, village elite, poor people, the Covid-19 pandemic

O objetivo deste artigo é contribuir com o debate conceitual sobre pobreza extrema e propor a incorporação de novos elementos para a compreensãodesse complexo fenômeno. A inexistência de clareza sobre o que é e como se mede pobreza extrema é um fato que continua a desafiar os pesquisadores. Além disso,e apesar dos avanços, as contribuições disponíveis, na sua maioria, não contemplam o processo conhecido como razão pública. Este artigo apresenta um diferencial nesteaspecto, combinando elementos do debate corrente na literatura com resultados de uma pesquisa de campo que, dentre outras inovações, definiu as dimensões dapobreza a serem investigas ouvindo os pobres. Os resultados mostram que pobreza extrema está muito longe de ser apenas uma questão de intensidade na privação do acesso a recursos para sobrevivência. A pobreza extrema congrega características deintensidade, persistência e multiplicidade. Os resultados econométricos evidenciaram que o capital social, renda e escolaridade são as dimensões mais importantes paracaracterizar os pobres extremos.Extreme poverty and its triple foundation: depth, persistence and multiplicityAbstract:The paper aims to contribute to the discussion on extreme poverty conceptualization and measurement of its dimensions and manifestations. It is widely known that there is no agreement about the conceptualization of extremepoverty. The literature goes from the traditional measures which are based on lack of income to the more sophisticated definitions using deprivation of basic capabilities and fundamental human rights. However, the majority of the concepts available in the literature are based on ideas and knowledge of the researchers and experts without any participation from the poor and extremely poor people.Our contribution in this paper is to put together the evolving debate from the literature and the results from a survey carried out in Porto Alegre (Brazil) during 2007. The results from the two stage questionnaire shows that that extreme poverty is far more complex than the lack of basic resources to survive, and the majority of poor people in Porto Alegre faced some of the extreme poverty characteristics duringtheir life. The econometric results point out social capital, income and schooling as important variables to explain extreme poverty.Key-words: extreme poverty, capability, multidimensionality.JEL: I32; I39.
