Key benefits identified are improved targeting of resources and ease of project implementation when communities approve annual and long-term development plans.
Participatory approaches to rural developmentSuhail Hussain
Participatory development aims to engage local populations in development projects through local decision making and utilizing local capacities. It seeks to achieve localized capital accumulation based on skills development and resource generation. The key elements of participatory development are process, empowerment, and participation. Variations include manifestations in collaborative planning tools, benefits like sustainability, and criticisms like potential slowness. Case studies show applications in areas like natural resource management, governance, and rural poverty alleviation.
The document discusses trends in participatory development and governance. It notes that globally, there has been a trend toward greater political democratization, economic liberalization, and market-oriented economies since the 1980s. Participatory development is important as it stimulates people's productive energies, encourages broader participation, and leads to more equitable benefits. Effective participatory development relies on investment in human resources, strengthening political and legal systems, use of local organizations and private sector, and open market structures. Key is enhancing people's capability to participate in society and ensuring local communities benefit from development.
Participatory development seeks to engage local populations in development projects to strengthen their influence over decisions and resources. It empowers groups to negotiate with institutions, improves efficiency and sustainability of programs, and checks government power. Effective participatory development requires identifying stakeholders like community groups, governments, NGOs and donors, and incorporating their input at all stages through methods ranging from information sharing to shared control. Examples from Philippines projects demonstrate how participatory planning at village, municipal and provincial levels built social capital and empowered communities.

This document summarizes a training program developed by IWMI to improve community engagement in small-scale irrigation projects. The training aims to address issues like lack of community participation in decision making and poor integration of local knowledge that had led to technical failures and unsustainable water user groups. The 5-day training uses experiential and appreciative approaches, and involves project staff directly interacting with communities. Key activities include using PRA methods, case studies, system walks, interviews and having trainees participate in project planning, analysis and design with the community. The training aims to not just build skills but also make project staff work together and view irrigation systems as complex social-ecological systems.
This document provides an overview of public participation principles and requirements for service excellence in South Africa. It covers:
- Statutory requirements for public participation including the constitution, municipal acts, and policies.
- Defining public participation and its objectives to encourage citizen involvement in decision making.
- The duties of government to engage citizens and identify stakeholders.
- Principles for improving community participation regarding issues like service delivery, consultation, and the integrated development plan.
- The Batho Pele principles of customer-centric service delivery including setting standards, increasing access, and remedying failures.
The Role of Community Participation in Planning Processes of Emerging Urban C...irjes
This document summarizes a research study examining the level of community participation in the physical planning process in Paidha Town, Uganda. The study found that community participation in planning is very low, limited mostly to a few mass meetings. Few community members are actually involved in planning. Even those involved do not understand their rights and roles. Physical planning has not been adequately prioritized or funded. To improve participation, the study recommends involving communities at different administrative levels from villages to the town council, and using a wider range of participatory methods beyond just meetings. Overall, the study finds that community participation in planning is still limited and needs to be strengthened for more sustainable urban development.

This document discusses concepts related to community involvement and empowerment. It provides definitions of community engagement from different sources, highlighting both top-down and balanced approaches. It notes that community engagement assumes communities are agreed on their needs and can communicate them rationally, which may not always be the case. Effective community governance principles include recognizing contributions from public, private and voluntary organizations. Critical thinking is important for community practice to avoid simplistic assumptions about communities.
This document outlines methods of community organization, including community action, promotion, coordination, and phases of community organization. It describes the phases as study, analysis, assessment, discussion, organization of action, evaluation, modification, and continuation. Community action involves achieving goals through participation of community members in planning and executing plans. Promotion builds cooperation and responsibility among community members. Coordination avoids duplication by organizing community activities. The phases involve understanding issues, prioritizing problems, discussing solutions, implementing plans, assessing outcomes, and continuing or modifying the process.
This document discusses participation in development. It defines participation as people's involvement in decision-making, program implementation, and benefits, as well as their role in evaluation. There are two main types of participation: instrumental participation focuses on project outcomes and sustainability, while transformative participation empowers communities to take independent action to improve their situation. The document also examines conceptual contexts around development, inclusion and exclusion, and criteria for classifying different levels of participation, from passive to self-mobilization. It explores how participation and citizenship are linked, with citizenship participation based on extending participation rights.
The document summarizes the work of the Coalition of Georgian Organizations Working on Community Development (CoDeCo) from 2010-2012. CoDeCo is a coalition of 11 organizations focused on community development in Georgia. It was formed to share experiences and competencies, coordinate community work nationwide, and advocate for community development issues on local and international levels. The coalition published a joint report on its work during this period, identifying obstacles to and best practices for community development. The coalition's mission is to promote supportive environments for sustainable community initiatives in Georgia.
The project aims to improve food security, income, and natural resource management for local communities through participatory development approaches. It targets 320,000 households in rural areas of Karak and Tafila governorates. Community participation is a core principle, with local committees involved in planning, implementing, and monitoring community action plans and annual work plans over three-year cycles. The project finances infrastructure and agricultural activities through these participatory processes to empower disadvantaged community members and strengthen local institutions.

Community Participation in the Tourism Development ProcessCevat Tosun
This document summarizes a study examining the expected nature of community participation in tourism development by different interest groups in Ürgüp, Cappadocia, Turkey. The study found that local people strongly supported spontaneous participation, while local bodies and central bodies supported more coercive or induced participation that maintains existing power structures. The private sector also supported less community participation. This reveals tensions between interest groups over how much control the local community should have in tourism development planning and decision making. More research is still needed to develop effective models for meaningful community participation.
Participatory Learning and Action is a family of approaches, methods, attitudes, behaviors and relationships, which enable and empower people to share, analyze and enhance their knowledge of their life and conditions, and to plan, act, monitor, evaluate and reflect.
Public participation refers to involving stakeholders like citizens, community groups, and businesses in decision-making processes that affect them. This can occur at various levels from developing policies and strategies to planning projects. There are different stages of participation ranging from simply informing the public to allowing them to directly influence decisions. Successful participation requires clarifying goals, inviting all affected parties, allocating sufficient time and resources, and making sure participation can actually impact outcomes. Public participation is important for achieving sustainable development and building cooperation between governments and communities.
A process by which a community mobilizes its resources, initiates and takes responsibility for its own development activities and share in decision making for and implementation of all other development programmes for the overall improvement of its health status.

The document outlines a municipality's efforts to engage citizens in local decision making and support community initiatives. It created a department to facilitate public hearings, consultations, and participation in community meetings. This led to six community projects worth $110,000 being implemented based on needs identified. Costs were shared between the community organizations, city council, and UNDP to fund the projects and build local capacity.
This document discusses public participation in the preparation of development plans. It outlines how development plans cover socio-economic, physical infrastructure, and environmental aspects. The drafting process involves gathering information from local authorities and constituting a planning authority. Public participation is sought through workshops, discussions on goals and priorities, and comments on draft plans. However, true participation is limited by the authority's responsibility and lack of public expertise. Shortcomings can arise from insufficient representation of citizen concerns.
This document summarizes a project aimed at accelerating corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in eight Central and Eastern European countries. The project conducted baseline surveys on CSR status in each country. It found that while companies are open to CSR, uptake of practices like governance and reporting is limited. It developed national CSR agendas in seven countries through multi-stakeholder dialogue to coordinate government measures and set priority actions. The agendas addressed challenges like defining CSR and building stakeholder capacities. Priorities included CSR education, supporting civil society, and small business guidance. The project resulted in comparable analysis of CSR across the region and more formalized national CSR structures and cooperation.
The document provides information on engaging citizens and stakeholders in the development of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs). It discusses:
1) The importance of participation in identifying mobility problems, developing objectives, and selecting measures to create buy-in and improve decision making.
2) Key challenges to effective participation including lack of political support, resources, and ensuring representation of diverse stakeholders.
3) Variations in participation practices across Europe, with some countries having legal requirements and others primarily informing stakeholders.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
Participatory approach for rural development, Vyara Stefanova
1. Participatory approach for rural
development.
Lessons learnt from
Bulgarian experience
Vyara Stefanova - STEP
“CSOs participation in the implementation of rural development policies”
12 September2017, Kyiv
2. What is “participatory approach for rural
development”?
Different theoretical definitions, but in general
understood as a process that promotes communities
full involvement in their own development, and
envisages rural development as a process which values
and promotes indigenous knowledge and skills while
building upon their cultural and natural resources.
Participatory approaches are particularly relevant to
reach a holistic understanding of sustainable rural
livelihoods in the field of natural resource
management
The strategies developed with this approach aim at
finding sustainable livelihoods solutions and
opportunities by working with rather than for the
community.
The PA techniques involve external and local actors/
stakeholders working together on a particular project/
strategy while strengthening the dialogue and
exchange between these actors
3. Involvement of all interested stakeholders in
rural development
Stakeholders are the people who will benefit from the development activity or whose
interests may be affected by that activity
Public sector stakeholders - ensure the synergy with other levels of planning
and the support of other levels of government and public institutions
Private sector stakeholders – contribute to business development and
agriculture development. Government creates better environment for
business, while businesses create jobs.
Civil society stakeholders – contribute to addressing the needs of vulnerable
groups and provide specific expertise and knowledge. They can attract
additional funds.

programme for rural development) in Bulgaria
At the beginning of the programming process a programming working group
was established to discuss strategy proposed, selected measures, financial
allocations;
The main purpose – co-ordination within the ministry services and inter-
ministerial co-ordination and consultation with wide range of partners;
Technical discussions with the branch associations and CSO’s were done in
technical sup-groups for all the measures included in the programme;
Environmental NGOs took part in all of the working groups since the
protection of the environment is a horizontal issue;
A Monitoring Committee was established 3 months after the official
endorsement of the Bulgarian NARDP by the EC – January 20th 2001.
5. Experience from SAPARD in Bulgaria – selection
of the members of the Monitoring committee
Members of the line ministries
Members proposed by the social partners:
- Representatives of all officially recognized social and economic partners (trade
unions and employers associations;
- Representatives of sectoral interests – farmers unions and branch associations;
- A representative of the environmental NGO’s;
- A representative of the local authorities.
6. Lessons learned
Big number of associations and NGO’s representing
sectoral interest (sometimes more than 1 in one sector);
Big number of environmental NGOs ;
No formally established standards for
representativeness of the NGO’s or for transparency of
its operations;
The NGOs that represented potential beneficiaries per
supported sector, needed strengthening of their
capacities to work strategically with the other NGOs,
Some of the members of Working Groups had interest
only in their own activity– no sensitivity to the problems
of the sector as a whole
Simple and straightforward rules and procedures and
training of social partners/ CSOs is needed!
Cooperation between the CSOs has to be stimulated!
7. Challenges
Consultations can be distorted by the choice of participants and by
processes used.
In terms of participants, participation may be too narrow either by
focusing on a desk review or arbitrary ‘top down’ policymaking, or by
including only ‘insiders’ or close to local authorities firms.
In terms of process, the views of participants may not be adequately
based on data (may not be realistic or may be too conservative in
focusing only on their current businesses rather than new
opportunities).
