As the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr Ban Ki – Moon noted in the disparities between rural and urban areas remain pronounced” and big gaps persist in different sectors: • It is estimated that in 2015 still roughly 2.8 billion people worldwide lack access to modern energy services and more than 1 billion do not have access to electricity. For the most part this grave development burden falls on rural areas, where a lack of access to modern energy services negatively affects productivity, educational attainment and even health and ultimately exacerbates the poverty trap. • In rural areas, only 56 per cent of births are attended by skilled health personnel, compared with 87 per cent in urban areas. • About 16 per cent of the rural population do not use improved drinking water sources, compared to 4 per cent of the urban population. • About 50 per cent of people living in rural areas lack improved sanitation facilities, compared to only 18 per cent of people in urban areas. end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture”.

The pervasive poverty in rural areas has represented a continuing concern of national governments and development assistance agencies. One response to pervasive poverty has been the design of local institutions to enable rural communities to mobilize their own resources to generate growth and improve the quality of life. Programmes organized under the rubric of ‘community development’ were a major focus of development assistance during the 1950s and early 1960s. During the early 1970s concern about the distributional implications of economic growth again emerged as a major theme in development thought and development policy. This concern gave rise to two new development assistance approaches — ‘integrated rural development’ and ‘basic needs’ programmes. In this paper, I attempt to trace the development, accomplishments and limitations of the community development, integrated rural development and basic needs approaches. • Previous article in issue • Next article in issue • About ScienceDirect • Remote access • Shopping cart • Advertise • Contact and support • Terms and conditions • Privacy policy We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads.

These programmes aim to address the multiple challenges faced by rural communities such as poverty, inadequate infrastructure, and low levels of economic development. Contents • • • • History of Integrated Rural Development Programmes The concept of IRDPs emerged in the 1970s as a response to the challenges faced by rural communities in developing countries. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) were among the first international organizations to promote IRDPs. Since then, several countries have launched their own IRDPs, tailored to their specific contexts. Types of Integrated Rural Development Programmes IRDPs can be classified into two types based on their approach: • Top-down Approach: In this approach, the programme is designed and implemented by the government or a centralized agency without much involvement of the local communities. • Bottom-up Approach: In this approach, the programme is designed and implemented in consultation with the local communities to ensure their participation and ownership of the development process. Examples of Integrated Rural Development Programmes Some examples of IRDPs implemented in different countries are: • Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA): This programme was launched in India in 2005 with t...
