Opis

The project has become fundamental to international development and humanitarian practice, playing a key role in defining objectives and funding streams. This book provides an overview of the project in international development practice, exploring the core tools and stages of planning and design.

Recenzje

A timely and neatly presented book that critically reflects upon insufficiently questioned arenas. Scott's multi-sectoral experiences allow for a compelling tightening of the theory-practice gap, guiding readers through the project management cycle as both a practical tool and an instrument for governing aid and taming its politics.

The project concept and project formats are extraordinarily pervasive in development organizations, yet are largely taken for granted and insufficiently reflected on. Caitlin Scott’s impressive book helps to fill this basic gap in consideration, and it does so clearly, incisively, and thought-provokingly.
