Introduction

There is a wealth of material teaching a technical approach to development intervention. This course seeks to shift the balance back to a value based approach to doing development.

It will be rich with the voices of the poor and advocate for a particular approach to development, namely adaptive management. The course will be open to all with the only prerequisite an interest in how to do development differently.
