- Description:
- Participatory development planning has increasingly gained centre stage in the development process in African countries. In advocating the involvement of community members in the process of development. participatory development as a movement has become so obsessed with the concept that it is presented as a religious theory. Yet by virtue of its broad nature. participation in development means different things to different people and the term is, therefore wide open to misinterpretation. This article provides insights into changing focus of developmental theories and the scope and focus of participatory development, together with the problems inherent in both approaches. It describes a case study to illustrate the divide between "participation" and what actually happens in practice and advocates pragmatism in developmental theory.

- This survey of social security provision in Zambia starts with a sketch of the historical and economic background since the late nineteenth century to the present, showing how traditional social security arrangements were destroyed and the people impoverished by a series of governments, starting with the colonial State and continuing through to the late 1990.1'.It describes current and recent arrangements under the following headings: both State provided and private formal social security and non-formal social security schemes_ Under the latter heading are considered the traditional security provided by the extended family and semiformal schemes such as reciprocal urban networks. the church chilimba and market associations. The latter two are singled out for detailed study and assessment in terms of their viability and potential for strengthening, in Phase II.
