Dialogue about Participation, No. 4.

This UNRISD series consists of four publications: one published in 1981, one in 1982 and two in 1983. It reflects the Institute’s engagement with participatory research, which supplied groups and movements involved in emancipatory or livelihood struggles with tactically useful information, and engaged them in dialogues that would generate consciousness and empowerment.

Volume 4 brings together an Issues Paper on clientelism, patronage and popular participation and a paper aiming to stimulate a global debate on monitoring, evaluation and participation.
