Abstract
A review of current methodologies by LDC decision-making bodies and international programs in developing nations has identified several approaches to policy formulation and implementation. These approaches are grouped and discussed. A new approach--the modified bubble-up approach to policy formulation and implementation--was initiated as a pilot effort in Limon Province, Costa Rica. Preliminary results indicate that this approach has promise for application to other small developing nations.
