Reasons for Success: Learning from Instructive Experiences in Rural Development SYNOPSIS
Reasons for Success draws lessons presented in the earlier work, Reasons for Hope. The knowledge and insights the authors have gained from decades of participation, observation, and scholarship on Third World development enrich it. Concerned that rural development is increasingly neglected in economic development circles, the authors demonstrate that improving rural living standards depends more on ideas, leadership, and appropriate methods and less on money alone.

Karen Hvode - Counterpoise
.Reasons for Success is not a simple report of development ventures. It is a detailed analysis of the knowledge that can be gleaned from repeated experience and then used to guide and revise future efforts. Norman Uphoff, Milton Esman, and Anirudh Krishna are well placed to produce this analysis; each having served many years in both academic and administrative positions devoted to rural development.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Roland Bunch COSECHA, Honduras
[This book] deserves to become a classic in its field. It is one of the few books written recently whose authors have been both willing and eminently able to tackle the entire field of rural development.
