Institutional take-off or snakes and ladders: Dynamics and sustainability of local-level organisations in rural Bangladesh

Rao, Aruna; Hashemi, Syed M.

This paper sets out to analyse in detail the elements and difficulties of village-level institutional development. "Snakes and ladders" reflect the cycle that attempts at local institutional development flourish, but are then set back, and recover only later over the period of the study.
