Using new evidence from a three year programme of research in developing countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa, the authors describe how government organizations have been privatised, decentralised or restructured while private sector organizations - both non-profit and commercial - have taken on increasingly important roles in resource management and service supply. This book provides an important and easily accessible point of reference for decision-makers and students alike, offering unique view in its breadth of coverage across the natural resources sector and a range of different institutional types and approaches to resource management.

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.
