The concern I want to raise in this chapter is related to the relationship between indigenous identities, knowledge systems and indigenous values and world views compared to world views found in South Africa’s new curricula after new dispensation. What are the values the indigenous pupils meet at home? Do they concur with those of the new curricula after 1994?

The only impact evaluations the IDB has are beneficiary evaluations; that is, the IDB asks the beneficiaries in the communities how they evalu- ate what they received: Was it working correctly? Did they like it? Was the choice an adequate one? Was the project sustainable? The IDB study summarized about 800 project visits in various countries in which this sort of beneficiary evaluation was done, and in general, the beneficiary evaluations are quite positive. School projects have the highest evalua- tions even if a few schools that were built are not operating.

The expansion of agriculture to open access forest lands is a major environmental consequence of poverty, food insecurity, and landlessness in many countries, notably in the tropics. Although nominally managed by the state, forests made accessible by the construction of roads become de facto “open access” in the wake of logging operations by private concessionaires, who often fail to comply with their obligations to manage the forest sustainably after harvest.

The first part, the design of an ADAS system started with the investigation of user and stakeholder requirements. It was  found that drivers accept ADAS systems, as long as they keep a certain amount of control. To comply to these  requirements, the system uses so called system states. Every system state offers a certain amount of control, leaving the  choice with the driver.  To define which drive tasks were to be supported, a system analysis of current ADAS systems has been made.  Functions of these systems have been integrated into new multi­purpose functions and components.

New Zealand is perceived as having lower-quality infrastructure than the OECD mean.
