Abstract:
This paper reports the outcome of work on integrated community development carried out in two villages in the Behsood district of Nangarhar province, Afghanistan, where the Basic Development Needs (BMN) model of community development was introduced in the last quarter of 1995. It describes the conceptual framework and the socio-political constraint under which the BMN development process evolved and was pursued. It also provides a detailed account of the methodology adopted, the results of the BMN survey, the socio-economic profile of the villages and the underlying causes of the problems. The paper gives an exposé of the set of potential interventions and solutions chosen by the community to solve their problems.
