Item Community Participation: Lessons from Post-Apartheid South Africa(Routledge, 2006) Williams, John J.This article reviews community participation in post-apartheid South Africa, drawing on research conducted in Cape Town since 1994. It explores the evolution of community participation from resistance during apartheid to contemporary participatory practices. Despite legal provisions in the South African constitution promoting community involvement, the article critiques the superficial implementation of Integrated Development Planning (IDP) programs, which often fail to genuinely empower marginalized communities. The author argues that a more meaningful engagement is required to address the real needs of the local population.Item National Workshop on "Participatory Governance: In Perspective of Marginalised Sections - Review of Status and Scope of Grassroots Participation"(Indian Social Institute, New Delhi, 2006-02) Indian Social InstituteThe workshop, held in New Delhi on 25th-26th February 2006, focused on participatory governance in the context of marginalized sections, including Dalits, Tribals, and Women.
