| dc.description | This paper focusses on a particular organisation concerned with
rural development - the Community Development Division of the Department
of Social Services. In particular, attention is paid to the position
occupied by the grass-roots workers in this organisation - the Community
Development Assistants (CDAs).
The history of the organisation is briefly outlined. This is
followed by an analysis of the factors within the organisation which tend
to produce fragmentation and, conversely, integration. It is argued that
the tendencies towards fragmentation are strong; and those which might
make for a more integrated organisation are not as effective as they might
be. The consequence of this is that the organisation finds itself placed
in an insecure position. The self-help movement in Kenya is likely to be
weakened as a result. | |
