1. Introduction
Rural development is essential for the development of the rural poor people who
charectized as physical weak and powerless they are mechanism that the stake holders
put in place so that they can lift up the poor out of the impoverish situation, but it
is not that easy to implement those mechanism or strategies in place , because of
many things but will focus on the main point that make things hard when it comes
to the implementation of those strategies which are prommatism and parternism.
Prommatism which it means I come with the strategies or plans to fix your problem
without asking you what can I do to help you because even among the poor they
have different needs which differ among themselves which can work for other
person cannot work for another person so programmatism is it put people in the
uniform when it comes to the poor need’s like what happened in Zambia. because
programmatism has drawbacks it is standardised ,topdown,authoritarian, and unable to
adapt to local condition , because there was a national drive to grow maize,
agricultural extension staff in Zambia government triad to persuade farmers to plant
maize even in all areas, even where it neither grew well nor paid; and there are
many similar examples from other parts of the world. As Moore points out too.
Programmatism drives out consideration of other approaches(Chambers,1983,150).
Parternism is kind parent attitude of the outsiders want to help even if the help that
it brings is not needed or i know what you need you don’t know what is best for I
do know this is create conflict, that is why political feasibility is needed so that this
conflict can be resolved or neutralised and make sure the money does what was
intended which is to help the poor. We going to look their roles to uplift the poor
from their poverty.
What is rural development?
Rural development are the action that are strategic intended to enable the poor people,
which are the woman and the man to gain for themselves and their children more of
what they want and need. It involve helping the poorest among those who seek
livelihood in the rural areas to demand and control of the benefits of the development
resources. The group includes small-scale farmers, tenants, and the landless. The
initiative starts with the outsiders, reaching a hand wanting to help assist the poor,
not the elite, or outsiders a genders but main target are the poor, so that they can get
2. more and the power and control to be transferred to the poor( Weber,1983,147). The
characteristics that we can see that development has taken place in the rural areas are
this with economic growth, with modernisation, with increased agricultural production,
with socialist farms, of organisation, and with services for basic needs such as
education, health, transport, and water supply. As very well known, that the
development thinking of outsiders has shifted from the view that growth and
modernisation and modernisation would be enough. With benefits trickling down to
the poor, to the more realistic.
Politics in the context of rural development
Politics in the rural area is when the political feasibility is strong to make sure that the
project that where design to help the poor to that, because lack of political feasibility
the only few poor people who benefit to this projects. In already quoted words of
Christ, according to St Matthew, Unto every one that hath shall be given, and shall
have the abundance; but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which
he hath’(The Bible, St Matthew, xxv,29). This tendency has been described by
Andrew Pearse(1980) as the talents effect. As 1970, it become routine to gloss it in
terms of ‘lack of political will’ the lack of political will it means the rich put their
interest first before the poor. Political will is
