Description
This study argues that many development programmes go awry because the local authorities neglect essential development issues. Development must by defined in terms of the provision of basic human needs - life expectancy, infant mortality and literacy indicators - reflecting the quality of life of the bulk of the population, not just a narrow elite. The authors of this treatise suggest that the issues neglected by the conventional approach must be addressed if true development is to occur.
