Abstract
There is growing evidence that well-intentioned aid programmes of international agencies are foundering for lack of real understanding of the preoccupations, aspirations, values, and subjective needs of indigenous populations. The frustration of recent attempts to encourage agricultural innovation and population limitation provide but two examples among many. Even the most cursory examination of the annual reports of funding agencies indicates that there is a pressing need for more sensitive and subtle methods for assessing attitudes and motivations among third world communities.
