Navigating Complexity in International Development: Facilitating Sustainable Change at Scale
ISBN: 9781853398520 / Angielski / Miękka / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This is because interventions are grounded in flawed assumptions about how change happens -- change is rarely linear, yet development interventions are almost entirely based on linear planning models. Change is also characterized by unintended consequences, which are not predictable by planners and by power dynamics, which drive outcomes towards vested interests rather than real need. Development processes need...
