• From Individual to Collective Capabilities: The Capability Approach as a Conceptual Framework for Self‐help (2006, background): “…a dedicated local leader, a supportive ideology, an adequate institutional design and an external actor acting as a catalyst are all factors that render collective action more conducive to capability expansion (Olson, 1965, p. 48; Heyer et al., 2002, pp. 6–12; Thorp et al., 2005, p. 911).”
• The impact of agricultural cooperatives membership on the wellbeing of smallholder farmers: empirical evidence from eastern Ethiopia (2017, result): “The result is consistent with the findings of Thorp et al. (2005) and Francesconi and Heerinck (2010) who revealed that the poorest farmers are excluded from agricultural cooperatives.”
• Do Village Organizations Make a Difference in African Rural Development? A Study for Senegal and Burkina Faso (2008, background): “15 This is in contrast with the case study findings of Thorp, Stewart, and Heyer (2005) who observe that organized groups tend to exclude the poorer community members, but with exceptions where a culture of inclusiveness prevails, which may well correspond to our West African village settings.”
• Agricultural Extension, Collective Action and Innovation Systems: Lessons on Network Brokering from Peru and Mexico (2012, background): “While many sources debate whether the private or public sector is best suited for the facilitation or broker role, many agree that NGOs with an appropriate skill set may initially be the best facilitators or network brokers (Thorp et al., 2005).”
