Local organizations have become key
mechanisms in effective, fair, and sustainable resource
management in India. Two debates dominate discourse on the
roles of local organizations in decentralized development:
first, on how to ensure they function effectively, fairly,
and sustainably; and second, on the relative roles of
different organizations - including elected local
governments, administrative line departments, and
nongovernmental organizations. This book adds empirical
evidence to these debates, and suggests that in practice,
they can not be separated. Based on research on local
organizations in India, involved in three sectors: rural
women's development and empowerment; rural drinking
water supply and sanitation; and, watershed development, in
the states of Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttaranchal,
the authors' findings indicate that the design of, and
support for local organizations are often little more than
rudimentary, resulting in less than adequate performance,
and raising serious sustainability concerns. The study
further indicates that sector-specific configurations of a
plural organizational landscape, in which government and
private organizations are an integral part, are required for
effective and sustainable development. |
