First sentence: Deryke Belshaw, one of the great rural development experts and theoreticians, observed back in 1993 (Belshaw, 1993) that the debate on the importance of integrated approaches in rural areas made him feel more as if he had come full circle than made any real progress: from the community development approach of the sixties; through the basic needs, food security programs and integrated rural development of the seventies and eighties; from resource management and sector investment programs back to the future; to the communal funds and self-reliant community investment only too familiar to us from the era of village development funds and, well, community development.
