“…They are instead searching for support for action already taken, and for support that serves the interests of various components of the policy shaping community" (Palumbo h Nachmias 1983,9-11). Our argument converges in important respects with recent anthropological work on development projects and intervention processes in Africa, see Olivier de Sardan (1985,1988); Chauveau (1985); Elwert and Bierschenk (1988); and Geschiere (1989). It also coincides (although we did not fully realise this until we had completed our paper) with some of the critical points elaborated by Schaffer (1984) in his essay on 'Towards responsibility: Public policy in concept and practice'.…”

“…Dans cet article, nous voudrions approfondir cette perspective en ktudiant la capacitk d'action et I'espace de nkgociation reels des (presumks) cc pauvres s au sein d'un projet concret, en nous inspirant de certaines approches recentes proposkes par la sociologie du dkveloppement (Elwert et Bierschenk 1988;Bierschenk et Olivier de Sardan 1997;Foudriat, Donovan et Rivera 2000;Mosse 2001;Long 2001;Bastiaensen et al 2002).
