One of the most commonly accepted definitions of participatory development is as follows: “Participatory development seeks to give the poor a part in initiatives and projects that are designed by outside organizations in the hopes that these projects will be more sustainable and successful by involving local stakeholders in the projects goals.”
Participatory development is an approach that involves the active involvement and participation of individuals and communities in the decision-making processes and implementation of development projects that affect their lives. It aims to empower marginalized groups and promote inclusivity in development initiatives. The process emphasizes the importance of local knowledge, perspectives, and expertise, and seeks to bridge the gap between top-down authority and bottom-up legitimacy. Participatory development can be applied in various contexts, such as urban planning and management, education, and healthcare. It not only serves as a means to accomplish projects but also has a pedagogical capacity, teaching people about institutional structures and civic engagement. The approach fosters popular participation, decentralization, and a focus on solving existing problems in society.

Firstly, we think that the end goal of any development effort should never be the success or supposed sustainability of the project itself, but rather an increase in the sovereignty and wellbeing of the community. In some cases, the community may determine that the predefined, written goals of a project are no longer useful or valuable to the community, and if we are loyal and committed to truly participatory development, we need to allow for that possibility.

Secondly, instead of simply giving the poor “a part” in development initiatives, we sustain that genuine participatory development seeks to allow the poor to determine their own visions and establish their own development priorities and agendas.

Features of participatory development
Passive participation is the least participatory of the four approaches. Primary stakeholders of a project participate by being informed about what is going to happen or has already happened. People’s feedback is minimal or non- existent, and their participation is assessed through methods like head counting and contribution to the discussion (sometimes referred to as participation by information).



Participation by collaboration forms groups of primary stakeholders to participate in the discussion and analysis of predetermined objectives set by the project. This level of participation does not usually result in dramatic changes in what should be accomplished, which is often already determined. It does, however, require an active involvement in the decision-making process about how to achieve it. This incorporates a component of horizontal communication and capacity building among all stakeholders—a joint collaborative effort. Even if initially dependent on outside facilitators and experts, with time collaborative participation has the potential to evolve into an independent form of participation.

Empowerment participation is where primary stakeholders are capable and willing to initiate the process and take part in the analysis. This leads to joint decision making about what should be achieved and how. While outsiders are equal partners in the development effort, the primary stakeholders are primus inter pares, i.e., they are equal partners with a significant say in decisions concerning their lives. Dialogue identifies and analyzes critical issues, and an exchange of knowledge and experiences leads to solutions. Ownership and control of the process rest in the hands of the primary stakeholders.
