Description
This important work takes an in-depth look at an innovative approach to agrarian reform between 150 groups of landless people and Proshika, a Bangladeshi NGO. We see how the landless empower themselves to invest in irrigation equipment, sink wells, install pumps, and sell irrigation services to landed farmers.This is a frank analysis of the strengths and weaknesses -- and importance -- of NGOs in helping to develop rural projects, and to assist the landless in gaining access to skills training and credit.A Practical model for agricultural and development professionals, this work analyzes irrigation, using a detailed database of management and technical variables. Examines the changing social relationships within villages, the struggles to obtain credit, and the critical need for appropriate technology.
