This is the third conference as part of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) Universities Linkages, which brings scholars and aid practitioners together to discuss important development issues.
Participatory development involves including people who are affected by the development process as planners in that process, and became very popular in the 1980s and 1990s as a response to globalization and neoliberal development policies. It is inspired by the work of Robert Chambers as a way of overcoming the shortcomings of top down development and the limitations of expert research and planning. Participatory development's catch cry might be 'ordinary people know best'. It has, however, been criticised for being tokenistic and not being able to address the issues of top down development and more recently results-based planning. This conference explores these issues from both academic and practitioner perspectives.
Part 4, the final installment, features a panel discussion and Q&A session with Mr Paul Nichols from AusAID, Dr Julia Newton-Howes from CARE, Dr Elizabeth Reid AO, FASSA from the ANU College of Asia & Pacific, Prof Alan Fowler from Erasmus University, Ms Emele Duituturaga, Pacific Islands gender and development specialist, Prof Robert Chambers from the University of Sussex, and Prof Gita Sen from the Harvard School of Public Health.
