No-nonsense Guide to International Development


Description

Building dams in India, planting trees in Burkina Faso and rescuing street children in Brazil are images of development with which we can all identify.

It shows what can happen in the name of development and argues for a more organic, social approach with those it seeks to serve as equal partners in the process.
