ARIEL P
. ANGHAY , MDMG, DPA

2. • I. Concepts of Development
• Understanding Development: An approach integrating the concepts, meaning
and various perspectives of development and underdevelopment, the models
of development in view of understanding economic development
• Development – traditionally associated with economic growth, advancement
and expansion
• However, economic growth in itself is not always good, considering that
even as the economy grows, it is entirely possible for poverty and
in the society to continue, or worse to be exacerbated

3. As “the development of development (Andres, Gunder Frank, 1966).
Thus, development to be “real development” – must address – poverty,
inequity and social justice – it should redistributive (Brillantes)
• Elite – dominated political economy of society – reason for poverty and
inequities

4. • “development” to be abuse exploitation of the non-renewable and finite
natural resources, degrading the environment through deforestation and
pollution
• “sustainable development” is the process of meeting the needs of the
present without sacrificing the needs of future generations
• Thus, “development” to be sustainable and authentic – not only address
concerns of inequity and social justice – but also ecological security –
clean air, water, and fertile soil, taking into consideration the needs of
succeeding generation

5. A MODEL OF DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION MUST
CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING POINTS.
It should reject status quo and be directed towards change and more so
towards results. It is result oriented at its core and every development function
should have a defined objective.
Planning is essential to decide the framework of resources and time to be
allotted for a development function.
Innovation. It is dynamic in approach and encourages new and better ways to
achieve objectives.
It should focus on planning for the people as well as with the people. It is
people-centered, must empower society as a whole and not product or profit-
centered.

promote sustainable development – there should be the
participation of people in the process of governance:

of the rural population; the process of political, social and
economic development making use of the natural and
human resources as well as the local institution, to improve
the quality of the (rural areas).

war town Europe, development administration infused the Asian African and
Latin American countries with western capital, technology and management
tools

models of development (Neff & Dwivide, 1981)pid “
