The Future of Rural Development: Between the Adjustment of the Project Approach and Sectoral Programme Desig (Gdi Book Series)

This book gives a practitioner's account of international experiences with rural development seen from a German angle. It argues for a development co-operation for rural areas that actively supports popular participation, beneficiaries' self-organization, decentralization and, consequently, smaller self-managed (para)projects rather than large, top-down organized rural development projects.
