'A seminal contribution to an action-centred paradigm of planning for development.' Hellmut W. Eggers, formerly Head of the Evaluation Division Directorate General for Development of the European Commission'The author's wealth of practical experience and profound theoretical knowledge are clearly reflected in the present book. I wholeheartedly recommend it for students, practitioners and theorists of development planning and, indeed, development studies more broadly.'Hans Detlef Kammeier, Professor Emeritus (AIT, Thailand)'A highly important and useful book?. One particularly commendable feature is its use of lots of practical examples to explain different concepts and applications of planning.' W. M. Leelasena, Director, Southern Province Rural Economic Advancement Project, Sri LankaThis new textbook in development planning aims to provide a comprehensive and practically relevant guide to strategic planning at postgraduate and practitioner level. The author hopes that the book will help bridge the unfortunate gap that now exists between much development planning theory and planning practice. He also promotes a more value-based, action-centred and organization-inclusive approach to development planning than is normally presented in textbooks on planning. The book explores the different concepts of development and development planning. It introduces a simple model of strategic planning, and then elaborates more complex arrangements. The author operationalizes various aspects and processes of planning, and critically analyses the tools involved, always in the context of more fundamental planning concerns. Specific topics include logical framework analysis, the use of indicators, process planning schemas, principles and tools of prioritization, and dimensions of participation and community institution building. The analysis consistently progresses from the theoretical and conceptual to the practical and specific.The author is a former Associate Professor of Development Planning and Management at the Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok.
