| | SD: Institutions : Sustainable Rural Development in Western Africa: The Naam Movement and the Six 'S' |
 | | The Naam Movement was initiated in 1967 by Bernard Ledea Ouedraogo, a teacher and a trainer of rural extension workers at the time when he started. |
 | | Ouedraogo, the founder of the Naam Movement argues: "To make the village responsible for its own development, developing without destroying, starting from the peasant: what he is, what he knows, what he knows how to do, how he lives, and what he wants" (in Harrison, 1987: 280). |
 | | The Naam is a form of development adapted to local needs, created by the people themselves, which instead of destroying traditional structures from the outside, like leaven, transforms them from the inside. |
