Sustainable Rural Development

This book chronicles the emergence of a new paradigm in rural development. Shepherd (development administration group U. of Birmingham) argues that the current mode of operation with its focus on individual short-term projects is no longer viable. Instead he advocates making funders become stakeholders with long-term time perspectives and replacing appraisal with evaluation as the procedure for resource allocation. The focus is on development practice organizational change and policies. Annotation c. by Book News Inc. Portland Or.
