*Abma and Cutting’s project was
called the “ARI Graduate Impact Study.”
(It is different from an earlier study carried out by the Fetzer
Institute that bears the same name.) The
study produced two major pieces. The
first was a highly valuable academic report provided to ARI called Leading at the Grassroots: A Study of the
Influence of Asian Rural Institute Graduates on Communities. This report gives an in-depth analysis of the
work of ARI graduates, and it offers a series of recommendations for ARI to
consider as it develops curriculum to meet the needs of rural community leaders
in a fast-changing world. The second
piece – aimed at a more general audience and more anecdotal – is this book, Rural Leaders: The Work and Community Impact of Graduates of
the Asian Rural Institute.
