Research shows that water users and farmers creatively adapt local institutions and technologies through processes of bricolage (\u201cDIY\u201d)\u2014piecing together arrangements that work in context. Studies inspired by this approach provide rich illustrations of the social embeddedness of such arrangements, their hybrid nature, and the ongoing processes of their reproduction and reinvention. However, this body of work remains limited in its explanatory power because (1) the institutional, technological, and ideational elements of bricolage are rarely considered together; (2) few studies link micro-level bricolage processes to long-term transformations at the level of systems or societies; and (3) policymakers struggle to use studies of localized complexity to inform their actions. Drawing on research on water governance and rural livelihoods conducted with colleagues in several countries in East and North Africa, Frances Cleaver will address these gaps. She will show how the use of an integrated bricolage analysis can explain long-term transformations.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-1471","video","type-video","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/apad-association.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/video\/1471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/apad-association.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/video"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/apad-association.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/video"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/apad-association.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
