Modes of Participation: Experiences from RETA 5894: Capacity Building and Participation Activities II

Abstract

Formulating the fundamental goals as well as in planning and carrying out an activity empowers stakeholders and fosters a sense of ownership. These facilitate effective project implementation, conscientious monitoring of activities, and sustainable outcomes. Effective poverty reduction also requires greater flexibility in responding to problems and unexpected opportunities throughout project development, implementation, and monitoring. Responsiveness and collaboration among intended beneficiaries, government, civil society, and the private sector at local, intermediate (district, province, etc.), and national levels promote social capital development and sound governance
