Development aid is often ineffective and unsustainable. The scale
of problems being faced by the Third World demands large scale,
replicable solutions but the high rate of failure in aid projects
is often ascribed to inadequate consideration of local culture and
conditions. Can demands for actions be reconciled with
location-specific solutions? "The Critical Villager" argues that
community-based participatory research and "transfer of technology"
are not rival models of development, but complementary components
of effective aid. The eight practical principles for evaluation and
action describes a call for students, development workers, policy
makers and researchers to put themselves in the shoes of the
intended beneficiaries of aid. "The Critical Villager" suggests
that despite the wide range of cultures and circumstances, there
are certain constant principles underlying how people select new
technologies and practices which can guide how aid interventions
are designed.
