Insufficiences and inequities in food production and supply in poor
countries need to be addressed as problems of both agricultural
resource management and rural democratization. "Reluctant
Partners?" combines comprehensive empirical insights into NGO's
work in agriculture with wider considerations of their relations
with the State and their contribution to democratic pluralism. This
overview volume for the "Non-Governmental Organizations" series
contextualizes the case study material in the three regional
volumes on Africa, Asia and Latin America, where over 60 specially
commissioned case studies of farmer participatory approaches to
agricultural innovation are presented. Specific questions are
raised. How good/bad are NGOs at promoting technological innovation
and addressing contraints to change in peasant culture? How
effective are NGOs at strengthening local organizations? How
do/will donor pressures influence NGOs and their links to the
state?.

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?".
