Inhaltsangabe

Conscious of the frequent co-option of the idea of participation by official development agencies, and of the other pitfalls that participatory development can run into, the author provides a hardheaded and practical education about the role of change agents; their recruitment, training and support; how to get started; working with groups; handling relations with government officials and local power holders; and a full range of other relevant issues.
