Salačová, Aneta ; De Castro, Tereza (advisor) ; Pavlík, Petr (referee)
The world economy has entered a period of increasing globalisation and the topic of development cooperation has become a subject of heated debate. The first section of my thesis focuses on the definition of the theoretical terms, while the second section contains a description of the growth in the Czech Republic's development cooperation with a focus on Czech development cooperation agencies and, last, but not least, the division of the Czech Republic's development cooperation into multilateral and bilateral activities. The third chapter contains an analysis of various development cooperation projects using Zambia as an example and makes use of various deductions to estimate the prospects for the further expansion of the development cooperation between the Czech Republic and Zambia.

Vyhodnocení hospodaření v porostech Pinus oocarpa ve vztahu ke krajině distriktu Choma, Zambie
Rosa, Ondřej
Pinus oocarpa is one of the most widely cultivated non-native tree species growing on plantations in Zambia. This thesis deals with repeatedly measured data of the growing dynamic of Pinus oocarpa that is then compared to two other forest stands under two different management approaches: one site regularly used controlled fires to regulate the removal of old grass while the other was untouched by fire. Furthermore, two other main objectives will be covered in this paper. The first will be to compare the height and diameter increment of the forest that was exposed to controlled burning. The second goal will be to conduct a dendrochronology analysis by obtaining tree core samples. These samples will aid in determining the annual growth pattern from mature forest stands throughout various parts of the district. The results obtained through the dendrochronology analysis will help to identify the impact of fire on the growth of trees. This data will then be compared to the results gathered from other locations. In essence, this thesis will identify the growth pattern of the Pinus oocarpa and the method of evaluation chosen in this area will serve to either confirm or refute the assumption that controlled forest fires in Choma can have negative impacts on the further growth and development of the Pinus oocarpa stands.

Humanitarian Photo - Selling or Witnessing the Others
BUCHAROVÁ, Eva
This master dissertation is focused on a humanitarian photo and its role in construction of "the others". By the example of the cholera outbreak in Zambia in 2010 I examine how the humanitarian photo works in respect to the process of otherization. Employing a qualitative research approach (particularly a case study) and an argumentation based on analytic generalization I suggest that each humanitarian photo necessary contains documenting and selling dimension because the humanitarians, on the one hand, speak on behalf of people in need and try to witness particular reality in their visual campaigns; and on the other hand they need to rise funds to be able to provide this humanitarian aid or development assistance, keep their work and authority of the organisation.

"The use of elements of alternative education system of Maria Montessori for street children in Zambia"
ŠIMEČKOVÁ, Veronika
Dissertation thesis - "The use of elements of alternative education system of Maria Montessori for street children in Zambia" - is dedicated to the education of vulnerable children and "street children" in Zambia. In the introduction to the theoretical part of the thesis, the author describes Zambia itself and thereafter in following chapters, she outlines the main issues on which a detailed analysis of poverty, HIV / AIDS and its impact especially on children is presented. She gives more detailed information concerning the questions of the Zambian education; she introduces its main characters and to summarise this chapter, she deals with the particular division of the Zambian education. Given that the author in her work in Zambia found out that the reason of inefficiency in education is caused by lack of financial resources and inefficiency in educational system itself, she focused exactly on this issue. Furthermore, she treats the area devoted to volunteering and its regularities. The problem of vulnerable children and "street children" can be understood as one of the many consequences of poverty in Zambia. Street children are divided into two groups Children in the Street and Children of the Street. The difference in these two groups is essential; and that the first group spends the free time on the street and the second group lives on the street. In conclusion of the theoretical part, the author introduces the alternative pedagogy of Maria Montessori and she indicates the most important and the most basic principles, elements and specific areas of learning. The research section presents results in relation to the objectives of the dissertation thesis, which she set at the beginning and then got in the research effectuated in the years 2006 - 2009 in Zambia where she focused on the implementation of education and leisure time activities for vulnerable children (OVC / Orphans and vulnerable children) and "street children" of preventive social project of educational and leisure time activities in compaundu (slum) Kalingalinga. The author chose four goals to complete her research. The first objective was to determine whether is possible to use some elements of the pedagogy of Maria Montessori for the education and leisure time activities of vulnerable children (OVC / Orphans and vulnerable children), and "street children"; the second aim was to develop methodological tools and handouts, which will be adapted according the internal culture of the country and social status of children. The third goal was to create a suitable leisure time activities for children of the street, which will again correspond to the nature of children. The fourth goal was to improve cooperation, coordination among the trainees who go to Zambia effectuate the social project. Methodical handouts and instructions, worked out by the author, for working with these children are also a part of this chapter. All the goals of the work had been fulfilled and the author proved that the elements of alternative education of Maria Montessori in education and creation of leisure time activities can be used for vulnerable children and "street children".

Quality of life Street children in Zambia
DAŇHELKOVÁ, Pavlína
The quality of life of so-called "street children" in Zambia is the topic of my bachelor degree work (thesis). The concept of "street children" means the children grown up on the streets. "Street children" are mostly orphans after parents who died of HIV/AIDS or who became victims of poverty. "The street children" represent a high risk group of children. They live on streets on long term basis, they sleep in abandoned houses, they make their living on begging, thefts, street services, and sale of goods of various kind. They are uneducated, they suffer from health problems. Drug addiction and prostitution is a very frequent phenomenon among these groups. The estimates report about 1.5 million children living on streets in Zambia today. Most of the children live in the capital city Lusaka (there are about 75 000 street children today). I applied both a qualitative and quantitative survey in my bachelor degree work, as well as the methods of questioning and non-standardized interviews. The basic set of the research material was collected among the street children in Lusaka. The selected set composed of 55 respondents from the group of the "street children", which I compared to the research of PhDr. Jolana Ročňová focused on the same number of children living in families. The qualitative research was implemented in a form of non-standardized interviews and by means of the secondary analysis of data obtained from the gained practical experience. Evaluation of the quality of life of so-called "street children" in Zambia, monitoring of occurrence of most frequent socially undesired phenomena and formulation the scale of the related problems (physical activities, emotional elements, social activities) as well as the school activity of the "street children" in Zambia {--} Lusaca and comparison of the collected data with the check group of children living a families {--} were the major objectives of this bachelor degree work (thesis). The following hypotheses were defined. Hypothesis no.1: the quality of life of so-called "street children" is negatively influenced by problems (health, social, emotional, school activity) specific to children living on the streets. Hypothesis no. 2: "Street children" experience life of lower quality in comparison to children living in families. According to results of the survey the hypotheses were confirmed and I suppose that the objective of the work has been achieved.

Adoption at a distance of zambian´s children
ŠAREŠOVÁ, Veronika
My diploma thesis is dealing with extended Adoption at distance of Zambian children and had research character. Thesis is divided into two parts; first one is theoretical, second is practical. Theoretical part consists from nine chapters. Continuously they describe history and actual state of Zambia, individual development especially in relation with education, focus and objectives of UNICEF activities, OSN and international documents dealing with human rights, education and its value in humans live, educational system in Zambia and its structure, extended adoption, organization that are realizing extended adoptions in Zambia and the last chapter is mentioning more organizations, that are realizing this project.The practical part of the thesis has scientific character. The objective of the thesis is to describe the project of extended adoption and the relation of Czech society to this project. In order of this aim three hypothesis have been made. In the first one I assume, that Czech society think that extended adoption is beneficial, but does not believe that the financial assets are not spend on the right purposes. In the second hypothesis I assume, that there is no discrimination in choosing the children taking part in the extended adoption programme based on tribe nationality, race or religion. The last hypothesis assumes that Zambian children are interested in education and that why they think the project is good for their future lives.For approving or declining hypothesis I used the method of questionnaire and discussion. The questionnaires were given to Zambian children and Czech public society. The discussion was realized with employees of certain organizations that are realizing the project of extended adoption programme. Altogether there were 170 questionnaires, 100% of them were returned.The hypothesis are analysed at the end of practical part. In the end there is summary of certain pieces of knowledge from theoretical and practical part. The last part of this diploma thesis contains the appendixes.
