“Participation” has become an accepted doctrine in contemporary rural community development practice, despite persistent ambiguities. However, who are the people who participate? The various variables of participation referred to in the existing literature, are systematically examined in a case study of community project in Guatemala. The results illustrate that the rural population is heterogeneous, and demonstrate that participation is significantly associated with socio-economic characteristics. Participatory projects respond mainly to the needs of the middle class in rural communities. Participation and non-participation within this “middle” socio-economic strata are best explained by cultural values, individual characteristics, and community factionalism
