There is a felt need for a fundamental change in the development approach as currently practised in Kilifi District. This need has been expressed at community level as well as by numerous officers of development agencies (DAs). In order to be more effective and in order to lead to more sustainable development impacts compared to the current situation, the new approach has to be based on two principles: 1. The communities should be the initiators, owners and managers of development activities. Project planning and implementation must therefore be based on those problems, constraints, potentials and solutions as perceived by the communities. 2. Mass poverty is a complex problem, which can in most cases not be solved by monosectoral interventions. It needs an approach by which the main causes of poverty are attacked simultaneously in an integrated way. This requires cooperation of different sectoral development agencies at community level. The Kilifi Water and Sanitation Project (KIWASAP) is in a process of gradual transformation from a sectoral project to an integrated development programme. At the same time KIWASAPs role will also change from direct implementation to the role of a facilitating agency. In this context the Centre for Advanced Training in Agricultural Development (CATAD) has been contracted to assist KIWASAP in working out an appropriate development approach and in redefining KIWASAPs role in Kilifi District. An interdisciplinary CATAD teamwas stationed in Kilifi from 28-7-94 to 29-10-94. During these three months the CATAD team, together with personnel from KIWASAP and from a number of other development agencies, implemented the KIWASAP-CATAD project: Facilitating the introduction of a participatory and integrated development approach in Kilifi District.
