This presents 20 specially commissioned case studies of farmer
participatory approaches to agricultural innovation initiated by
NGOs in Africa. Beginning with a broad review of institutional
activity at the grassroots, the authors set the case material
within the context of NGO relations with the State and their
contribution to democratisation and the consolidation of rural
civil society. Specific questions are raised: how good/bad are NGOs
at promoting technological innovation and addressing constraints to
change in present agriculture?; how effective are NGOs at
strengthening grassroots organizations? and how do/will donor
pressures influence NGOs and their links to the State? This title
is part of a series on "Non-Governmental Organizations"
co-ordinated by the Overseas Development Institute. To complete
this comprehensive review and critique there are two other regional
case study volumes on "Asia" and "Latin America" and an overview
volume, "Reluctant Partners?".
