Do Community Members Share Development Priorities? Results of a Ranking Exercise in East African Rangelands
研究调查了肯尼亚北部和埃塞俄比亚南部11个干旱半干旱牧场社区的发展优先事项，发现未来优先事项的排序差异主要来自社区之间而非社区内部，支持社区主导的优先设定方法。
Abstract This study investigates development priorities of individuals living in 11 communities in the arid and semi-arid rangelands of northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia. We first asked individuals to describe development efforts that have been implemented in their community. People were then asked to rank the usefulness of these different interventions. Finally, we asked them to rank their priorities for future development activities in their community. Econometric analysis of their responses indicates that variation in rankings of future priorities is primarily driven by variation across communities rather than across households within communities, lending support to community-based approaches to priority setting.
