Can demands for generalizable actions be reconciled with location-specific solutions? \u003cem\u003eThe Critical Villager\u003c\/em\u003e considers how community-based technical aid can be made more effective and sustainable. Calling for development workers, policy makers and researchers to put themselves in the place of the intended beneficiaries of aid, it suggests concrete principles for action and research. It argues that participatory research and ''transfer of technology'' should not be regarded as rival models for development but rather as complementary components in a single process of effective aid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction   Part A.
