This paper analyses qualitative and quantitative data from a natural experiment of a large participatory project in the state of Rajasthan in India comparing central management and state-level management. We find that locally managed facilitators formed groups that were more likely to engage in collective action and be politically active, with higher savings and greater access to subsidized loans. 2018-08-06T20:24:04Z 2018-08-06T20:24:04Z 2018-05-31 Journal Article The Journal of Development Studies 0022-0388 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/30152 CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Taylor and Francis Publications & Research :: Journal Article Publications & Research South Asia India
