Participatory Development (PDev) has been embraced by Third World
governments and international organizations such as the World Bank
as a means to reduce poverty and empower disadvantaged communities.
The emphasis on creating partnerships and using participatory and
people-centred approaches has obvious political appeal, yet there
is evidence that in practice interventions designed to increase
PDev and reduce poverty have yet to have the desired empowerment,
transformation and sustainability effect. Using an in-depth study
of the Basic Education Improvement Project (BEIP) implemented by
the Government of Kenya, the authors of this book critically assess
the fit between policy, practice and theory of PDev to shed light
on theoretical debates that are on-going in development.
