| dc.description | Past failures to plan rural planning, planners' relative neglect
of recurrent resource management, and the underutilised capacity of
government field staff all support the case for increased attention to be
given to management procedures in rural development. A simple systems
presentation is used to set out a rural plan management system with six
component systems:
Programming and Implementation Management
Field Staff Management
Local Participation Procedures
Evaluation Review Sequence
Rural Research and Development
Plan Formulation Procedures
Management procedures for these six systems either have been or are being
developed and tested in the Kenya Government's Special Rural Development
Programme. They are described in turn. Choices and principles in system
design and in replication both within Kenya and in other countries are
discussed. The most important single conclusion is that public sector
performance in rural development is most likely to be improved initially
through attention to programming, implementation and monitoring, with
later gradual extension through evaluation to plan formulation. | |
