Abstract
After years of failed attempts at centralized control over watershed management (WSM), the conventional wisdom among the donor "community" and many LDC governments themselves has now turned decisively in favor of local approaches. In many parts of the developing world, this shift coincides with the decentralization of numerous other government functions.
