【 摘 要 】

Community-driven development boasts manyislands of success, but these have not scaled up to coverentire countries. Binswanger and Aiyar examine the possibleobstacles to scaling up, and possible solutions. Theyconsider the theoretical case for community-drivendevelopment and case studies of success in both sectoral andmultisectoral programs. Obstacles to scaling up include higheconomic and fiscal costs, adverse institutional barriers,problems associated with the co-production of outputs bydifferent actors on the basis of subsidiarity, lack ofadaptation to the local context using field-tested manuals,and lack of scaling-up logistics. The authors consider waysof reducing economic and fiscal costs, overcoming hostileinstitutional barriers, overcoming problems ofco-production, adapting to the local context with fieldtesting, and providing scaling-up logistics. Detailedannexes and checklists provide a guide to program design,diagnostics, and tools.
