Some forms ofparticipationare often criticised as tokenist, giving participants no power. Participation in government schemes often means no more than using the service on offer or providing inputs to resource it.Participationmay treat people as objects in ‘self-help’ schemes that have not been designed by those affected. It may be a means of indoctrination, place responsibility fordevelopmentwith those least able to bear it, become a kind of forced labour, or discourage utilization by the poor. However, in developing countries benefits may be derived from even the weakest forms ofparticipation. Five such forms are identified -utilization, contributions, enlistment, cooperation, andconsultation- and their benefit to community development considered.
