“…Not only is transfer of health technologies seldom contested, but, in fact, explanations for problems encountered in health-technology transfer are almost always sought in the target (i.e. as problems of compliance or misapplication) rather than in terms of donor error or misunderstanding (Giovannini and Brownlee, 1982). Giovannini and Brownlee (1982) argue that experts have tended to view traditional social and cultural institutions as barriers to change, hence the focus has been on ways in which expertise could overcome these barriers to facilitate the replacement of traditional with western practices.…”

Social development scholars and practitioners have long advocated an important role for indigenization and grassroots participation in designing and implementing social development programs. Because of the recognized connection between health and social development, they have increasingly advocated for more indigenous and participatory approaches in conducting health assessments and in the delivery of health programs of relevance to individuals, families and communities. This article presents a rationale for such participatory approaches and the arguments are illustrated by case studies from two different cultural contexts. French Les chercheurs et les practiciens dans le secteur du développement social préconisent depuis longtemps l'importance d'un rôle autochtone et tenant compte de la base de la société dans la planification et la mise en application de programmes de développement social. Reconnaissant le lien entre la santé et le développement social, ils recommandent une plus grande participation indigène dans l'évaluation de la santé et la mise en application de programmes de santé pertinents pour les individus, les familles et les communautés. Le présent article argumente en faveur d'une approche participative et illustre ses raisons pour ce faire à l'aide de deux études de cas provenant de deux différents contextes culturels. Spanish Estudiosos y practicantes del desarrollo social han asignado, desde hace tiempo, un papel importante a la participación indigenista y popular en el diseño e implementación de los programas de desarrollo social. A partir del reconocimiento de la conexión entre desarrollo social y salud, se han abocado a promover el aumento de la participación indígena en la conducción de las asesorías en salud y en el desarrollo de programas de salud de relevancia para individuos, familias y comunidades. Este trabajo presenta el fundamento de este tipo de acercamiento participativo y los argumentos se ilustran a partir de estudios de caso en dos contextos culturales diferentes.

“…Muitos são os trabalhos (UNDP, 1990, TERRIS, 1988SEAH, 1976;BAKER et al 1984;GIOVANNINI, 1982) que têm evidenciado interesse no aprofundamento do conhecimento das diversas formas de abordagem da questão da saúde no âmbito internacional e que tratam dos determinantes dos complexos problemas de saúde dos países da região, para criar mecanismos efetivos de intervenção para a sua transformação. A complexidade do tema "Saúde Internacional" induz à busca de alternativas de instrumentos, de métodos de análise, além de um pensar que vá além dos tradicionalmente aplicados para estudar o processo saúde-doença.…”
