Popular participation through communications

Pages 95-101 | Published online: 23 May 2016
 

Abstract

Popular participation in development often remains a catch phrase. It is undoubtedly the ideal one. The process of involving the large mass of people in the decision making as well as the actual implementation of development programmes goes far beyond vertical or horizontal communication programmes, which often carry with them the hazards of a ‘revolution of rising frustrations’. Efforts at popular participation, in real terms, also cost money. Murray Silberman takes a realistic view of what it all means.
