Participation in Project Preparation : Lessons from World Bank-assisted Projects in India
The study assesses the extent to which
the India program, is meeting the Bank's objective of
mainstreaming participatory approaches, in project
preparation, and design. From a variety of social, and
natural resource management sectors, ten projects were
selected, appraised during 1990 and 1998, in which
participation was an overall project objective. Key findings
suggest that beneficiary participation was successful,
contributing to participatory designs in many projects.
Social assessments were used more often than before, while
involvement of primary beneficiaries improved during the
1990s, reflecting a change in the ways of thinking of, both
Bank staff, and Government officials. Participatory work
improved significantly, showing a move from a focus on
social mitigation of potentially adverse impacts, to
proactive work, with broader operational frameworks for
participation in project planning. Direct beneficiary
participation, was less common in strategy, and policy
formulation, but more common in formulating local-level
project approaches, though the level of primary beneficiary
participation, never went beyond information sharing, and
consultation. However, there was an increased collaboration
with primary stakeholders, and, capacity building, and
empowerment did take place. The study stipulates the
potential of beneficiaries is underutilized, and challenges
participatory management, to improve processes so as to
adapt to the social, and institutional context, and, to
consider participation within a broader local capacity.
