| Description |
It is commonly accepted nowadays that participation, bottom-up approaches and the exchange of knowledge are keys to the success of development programmes. How to make them work in practice is a completely different kettle of fish. As usual, actions speak louder than words. New ways of developing agricultural technologies is a good example of such actions. It is the account of an integrated pest management programme on the islands of Zanzibar that started as a top-down programme but, through living and learning, changed its approach to a participatory one. It adopted and applied concepts like on-farm experimental learning and Farmer Field Schools. Descriptions of site-specific situations on the islands of Pemba and Unguja illustrate the changes that took place. The book concludes, rather naturally, that participatory approaches can indeed work, but it is far more interesting to read how this happened.
