People's Participation: The 1993
Report examines how and how much people participate in the events and processes
that shape their lives. The democratic transition in many developing countries,
the collapse of many socialist regimes, and the worldwide emergence of people's
organizations - these are all part of a historic change, not just isolated
events. People's participation is becoming the central issue of our time.
The Report looks at
three major means of peoples' participation: people-friendly markets, decentralized
governance and community organizations, especially non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), and suggests concrete policy measures to address the
growing problems of jobless growth.
