Implementing Rural Development Projects
Author: Elliott R MorssPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429716958
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
This book deals with problems frequently encoun-tered by agencies, managers, and technicians who try to implement large-scale development projects. Specifically, it focuses on the implementation problems associated with projects sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) and the World Bank in developing countries. Some historical background on how implementation problems became a focus of concern is presented below. Development assistance on a significant scale started with Marshall Plan aid to reconstruct Western Europe following World War II. [1] In that case, the donor (the United States) asked not to be part of the process that determined how the money was to be spent. Instead, the United States asked the West European countries to establish their own priorities for assistance (which they did after a considerable amount of inter-country negotiation).

Reaching the Rural Poor
Author: Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 9780821354599
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Despite the fact that three quarters of the world's poor live in rural areas, the level of international development aid directed at rural areas has continued to decline over the last decade, particularly in terms of the agricultural sector. In 2001, lending for agricultural projects was the lowest in the World Bank's history. This publication presents the World Bank's new rural development strategy based upon a results oriented approach which stresses practice, implementation, monitoring and empowerment aspects. The strategy seeks to highlight rural development efforts, focusing on the needs of the rural poor, fostering a broad-based economic growth and addressing the impact of global developments on client countries.

Understand, Analyse and Manage a Decentralization Process
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsPublisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9789251056349
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
This publication has been written with a view to providing material for strengthening rural institutions. It provides a thorough overview of the decentralization process in rural development from the issue of state withdrawal and higher efficiency to the rise of civil society and its enhanced role in sustainable development. This balance between the state and civil society is explored in all dimensions (historical, conceptual and operational) in such a way as to avoid the risks of a badly managed decentralization process. Experience demonstrates that institutional voids and blocked support can have serious implications for the most vulnerable rural producers. Based on FAO's experience in various countries, the text proposes an analytical model of decentralization (RED-IFO) and describes management modalities and ongoing processes. Questionnaires, surveys and analytical tools are proposed to allow readers to follow and work on the process in their own countries. The document offers practical tools to take the lead in facing up to various dimensions of the problems of decentralization in rural development. It also proposes ways in which the RED-IFO model can be applied

Book Description
Aunque muchos proyectos de desarrollo rural han producido resultados favorables, otros han resultado decepcionantes. Las evaluaciones ex-post a menudo tienen actividades bien realizadas demasiado tarde para que se tomen medidas correctivas. Por lo tanto, los gobiernos nacionales, así como las agencias internacionales de financiación, sienten cada vez más la necesidad de una evaluación continua y un seguimiento estrecho de los proyectos de desarrollo agrícola y rural.
