FAO's new approach to rural development: Micro-activity in a strategy vacuum?

This paper raises five questions about FAO's new approach to rural development, which stresses abandonment of the project approach and strong decentralisation to NGO, working at the local community level. The questions concern the quality of evaluations of earlier rural development activities; the effectiveness of community-focused interventions on their own; the issue of poverty-inducing factors at national and sectoral level; the case for linking rural periphery and national centre through a poverty-alleviating regional planning capability; and the need to "projectise" environment-protecting investments which will benefit the rural poor at the same time.
