Modes of Participation Experiences from RETA 5894: Capacity Building and Participation Activities II
Malvicini, Cindy F.; Sweetser, Anne T. | July 2003
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to explore how ADB has incorporated participatory development in its operations, using examples from RETA 5894 cases, in order to assist ADB and DMCs with formulating the next steps toward deeper and broader participation in their activities and with determining how they might strengthen a framework for participatory development. The paper is not intended to be an extended critique or exhaustive review of each case. The paper first discusses how social capital can be built through participatory activities. Next, the extent—the depth and breadth—of participation is examined in 10 cases. The importance of building the capacity of local stakeholders in participatory practices is also discussed. The paper then outlines ways in which a framework for participatory development can be strengthened by mainstreaming participation, ensuring institutional support, and fostering an interactive learning environment. The final discussion focuses on optimizing participatory development.
