This paper describes a project undertaken in Belize, Central America, to look at development options for a rural community. This paper begins by providing a background to Alternative Development, and OR'S relation to it. It outlines the methodology adopted in the project (Rapid Rural Appraisal) and provides a discussion on the use of this method in conjunction with problem structuring methods in the under‐developed countries.
