The challenge now is for donors and development institutions to take a broader and longer-term view of what participation is about, develop a better understanding of the conditions under which it makes a difference, and be willing to support those whose participation may raise uncomfortable truths, even when these challenge the status quo.

The World Bank has allocated close to $80 billion towards participatory development projects over the last decade. A comprehensive review of the evidence on the efficacy of the approach conducted by the authors for the forthcoming Policy Research Report, Localizing Development: Does Participation Work?, finds that while participatory projects have been reasonably effective in improving access to basic services, there is far less evidence of their effectiveness in improving household income or in building sustainable participatory institutions at the local level.

Mark Tran: A World Bank report says state support is crucial for successful community participation. But can people not act for themselves? It is often an article of faith in development circles that community participation is a prerequisite for successful projects. But a World Bank report last week underlines the difficulties in "inducing" civic involvement and says such projects often fail to be sensitive to social, political and historical contexts.
