| Summary: | Community-driven development boasts many
islands of success, but these have not scaled up to cover
entire countries. Binswanger and Aiyar examine the possible
obstacles to scaling up, and possible solutions. They
consider the theoretical case for community-driven
development and case studies of success in both sectoral and
multisectoral programs. Obstacles to scaling up include high
economic and fiscal costs, adverse institutional barriers,
problems associated with the co-production of outputs by
different actors on the basis of subsidiarity, lack of
adaptation to the local context using field-tested manuals,
and lack of scaling-up logistics. The authors consider ways
of reducing economic and fiscal costs, overcoming hostile
institutional barriers, overcoming problems of
co-production, adapting to the local context with field
testing, and providing scaling-up logistics. Detailed
annexes and checklists provide a guide to program design,
diagnostics, and tools. |
