Participatory development theory and the capability approach emphasize human agency and local knowledge in poverty reduction.
“A strong theoretical foundation for this critique is the theory of participatory development (Chambers, 1994) and the capability approach (Sen, 1999), which emphasize human agency and local knowledge in poverty reduction.”
Chambers' concept of 'putting the last first' remains elusive as parishes lack facilitative structures to nurture self-organization and accountability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
