Diversity Challenges in Community Research and Action

Lawrence Matemba

Chapter 14 in Diversity in Africa, 2007, pp 238-261 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The story captured in this chapter seeks to emphasise one of the most important lessons that has largely remained unlearned in the implementation of development intervention programmes. It highlights, as in countless other stories about development intervention programmes, the fact that success of the majority of these programmes is frequently dependent on an understanding of the society in which it is to take place, knowledge of the social and cultural factors that condition the community’s responsiveness to developmental change, and the ability to obtain the willing cooperation of the people involved.
