Abstract
"The World Bank Participation
Sourcebook " (report no. 15363) is a how-to guide to
help Bank staff support participatory approaches in economic
and social development. It is a collection of cases, told in
the first person, by Task Managers in the Bank. In the
Sourcebook examples, the sponsors and designers demonstrate
a willingness to work collaboratively with other key
stakeholders in carrying out the steps require to prepare a
project for World Bank financing. Specifically, they: (a)
identify the strengths and weaknesses of existing policies
and service and support systems; that is the stakeholders
conduct the analysis and diagnosis collaboratively; (b)
decide and articulate what is needed; that is, the
stakeholders collaboratively set objectives; (c) decide on
pragmatic terms, directions, priorities, and institutional
responsibilities; that is, the stakeholders create a
strategy; and (d) develop or oversee development of project
policies, specifications, blueprints, budgets, and
technologies needed to move from the present to the future;
that is, the stakeholders collaboratively formulate project tactics.
