Poverty, Participation and Dependency in Mali: A Tale of Two Projects

Chapter 5 in Development Planning and Poverty Reduction, 2003, pp 68-85 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Over the last two decades, rural development and poverty alleviation initiatives have increasingly come to embrace three related aspirations: participation, demand responsiveness, and the building of community capacity. These trends are associated with the move away from government monopoly over public services towards provision by the private sector, communities and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and are reflected in the ever-evolving vocabulary of development. ‘Beneficiaries’ have become ‘stakeholders’ or ‘clients’, while building ‘social capital’, a term rarely heard even a few years ago, has become both the means and the justification for poverty reduction programmes.
