Abstract

Development scholars and policymakers agree that popular participation is necessary for successful rural development. However, more than 15 years of trying to implement the participatory concept shows that small farmers have yet to become involved in development decision making. This paper argues that achieving popular participation requires, in addition to the favorable climate that exists, the presence of professional communicators to facilitate interaction between benefactors and beneficiaries. It is suggested that involving development support communication experts in project planning and implementation could help facilitate popular participation.
