Abstract

This article analyses advantages and disadvantages of the project approach, so widely spread in the interventions for development and the international cooperation, both as a management tool and on the methodological level.


Within the framework of the “donor tiredness” phenomenon, the advantages of the approach for donors are highlighted in contrast to the undesired effects of implemented interventions with projects from the perspective of the local reality where they take place.


Proposing a new interpretation of the development projects in the light of the rising approaches about the share capital, the necessity to go beyond the project approach with an alternative approach –development planning and management directed at process– is considered.
