Participatory development: the case of Zimbabwe
1996
Makumbe, J.Mw.
The book explores the concept of participatory development in Zimbabwe since 1980. It discusses the local government system which it identifies as the most critical public developmental machinery through which beneficiary participation can take place. The various structures and functions of the local government system are identified and discussed in relation to their contribution to participatory development. Other institutions of participatory development: political parties, non-governmental organisations, co-operative societies and other mass organisations in Zimbabwe are identified as providing alternative avenues for beneficiary participation in development. Five different Zimbabwean cases, each selected for its strengths and weaknesses regarding beneficiary participation in development are highlighted. The book gives specific recommendations for the improvement of beneficiary participation in development.
