Demand-driven development goes hand in hand with an increase in the number of agents involved in information exchange and decision-making. This book documents an experience in the state of Rajasthan in India which brought together NGOs, government departments, research organisations and farmers′ groups. It details and analyzes the context, emergence and performance of this coalition, and draws out generic principles which could be of use to programme designers anywhere.  A mix of theory and application, this book will be of interest to students of development studies, as also to those in the fields of sociology, economics, agricultural economics, rural management, extension services, NGOs, funding and international donor agencies.

<p>'This document offers an excellent explanation of the concept of empowerment and develops a very useful framework for disentangling and clarifying the concept. It is both practical and well justified on the basis of the literature. The approach and survey instruments developed to measure empowerment are innovative and very useful. Developing an approach to empirically measure empowerment, and to track empowerment indicators over time in a way that is operationally feasible and consistent with World Bank standards is certainly an outstanding achievement.'<br><br>--Reginer Birner, Senior Research Fellow, International Food Policy Research Institute, Washington, D.C.</p>
