Modernist approaches to socioeconomic development have been used by
governmental and non-governmental institutions to address general
issues of poverty and underdevelopment in Guinea and most African
countries since the 1960s. Such approaches guided a variety of
development programs, particularly to improve agricultural,
education, and health (Nnadozie, 2003). However, increased
discrepancies between expected and observed outcomes of such
approaches increased objections among academics and development
practitioners who overtime found the need for and favored more
participatory approaches to social change (Chambers 1995, 2002;
Cernea 1985; White et al., 1994; Servaes et al.,1996; and Jacobson,
2004). This study argues that the success of such participatory
initiatives is strongly dependent of the level of genuine
participation of the beneficiaries. The study identified, examined,
and measured indicators of beneficiaries' genuine participation in
social change programs. The results indicated significant
differences between beneficiaries and benefactors in their overall
opinions and in their profiles on the issue of beneficiaries'
participation in social change programs in Guinea.
