Building Blocks of Participation: Testing Bottom-Up Planning

摘要

A pragmatic question that arises during the design and execution of manygovernment programs in this: How can a capacity for mobilizing community participation be built into the project's design and staffing. The paper answers that question by analyzing, step by step, one case rich in experience: the decentralization project in Mexico and its predecessor, the PIDER (Programa Integral para el Desarollo Rural) program. The time span of the series of projects stretches from the early 1970s to the early 1990s. (Copyright (c) 1992 The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/The World Bank.)
