This paper draws on ongoing qualitative research on a sericulture project in Bangladesh to explore the ways in wich the concept of organizational culture - which is rarely considered within the analysis of development interventions - can help reveal the complex roots of sustainability problems within multiagency rural development projects. The aprroach focuses both on local organizational realities and on power in the relationships that link project actors and process with wider systems and structures. It was observed that many of the initial project meanings have gradually fragmented over time, despite the eralier coherence expressed through he formal project culture expressed through documents and other artifacts
