| Summary: | "The complexity of natural resource management and its relationship with poverty is an issue that both donors and recipients of international development aid have become increasingly aware of in recent years. In consequence, both the purpose and approach of interventions in this area have evolved to reflect changing development objectives and new knowledge." "This book draws on recent advances in thinking about rural livelihoods and interpreting local development, especially those relating to diversity and the meaning of 'community' and notions of social and political capital. With a focus on methods to raise the voice and confidence of the poor at a local level, the authors discuss marked successes in creating new opportunities for income generation and enhanced resource management and, crucially, consolidating the political influence of marginalized communities in flood-prone areas in Bangladesh." "By offering a critical analysis of Participatory Action Plan Development the authors, enrich understanding of collaborative management in multi-actor situations. This book will be of value to all interested in participatory development methods, both practitioners and students of international development."--BOOK JACKET.
