Practicing Development bridges the gap between academia and the world of practice to address challenges andpropose concrete steps toward more equitable, effective, and sustainable development.The authors draw from their on-the-ground experiences as they discuss what "development" is, how to attain it,and what their findings mean for the funding and practice of development efforts. Often challenging conventionalwisdom, they provide a range of concrete examples of innovation, responsiveness, and sustainability-andperhaps most important, explore how practitioners might be better educated to achieve positive change.
