Points out that practical progress is required at the following three levels if development is to be sustainable: (1) those potentially affected by development projects need to be more involved at the design stage; (2) local knowledge needs to be better utilized in the design and implementation of programme; and, (3) policy makers must build their capacity to assess social impacts of policies and investments.
