This is the third conference as part of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) Universities Partnership, which brings scholars and aid practitioners together to discuss important development issues. Participatory development involves including people who are affected by the development process as planners in that process and became very popular in the 1980s and 1990s as a response to globalization and neoliberal development policies. It is inspired by the work of Robert Chambers as a way of overcoming the shortcomings of top-down development and the limitations of expert research and planning. This conference will explore these issues from both an academic and practitioner perspectives.
