Abstract
The increasing application of learning approaches to a wide range of human endeavours is releasing all kinds of creative responses to problematic institutional situations. Nowhere is this more welcome than in the practice of rural development. For far too long, the heart of development practice has been characterized by an irony which saps the energies and motivations of even the most enthusiastic practitioner: those very institutions that are established to facilitate societal change at one moment, invariably become its next major constraint.
