DESIGNING PROJECTS FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Provides guidelines for data collection, data interpretation, and project design involved in rural development project planning.

WEISEL, PETER F. · 1970

Abstract

The handbook, prepared by Development Alternatives, Inc., addresses four basic issues in the design of development projects for small farming communities: the distinction between information needed for project design and that needed for approval, the differences in data requirements depending on the project approach, host country involvement in project design, and the need for a flexible model rather than a blueprint. Chapters explain how to determine the type and amount of data needed for a given project as well as how to collect the data, assemble a design team, and develop the actual design. The handbook concluded with a chronological summary of issues the planner will face during the design process
