The World BankÆs learning process and mainstreaming of participation.

This working draft traces the process by which the Bank has attempted to understand and make better use of methodologies, and also examines the current status of participatory efforts within the Bank, based on the Participation Action Plan endorsed by the Board of Directors in 1994. It gives a history of the use and trends in participatory methodologies in the Bank and is a good source to review the World BankÆs participatory experiences.
