Content:
"This book studies the role of the development sector in eliminating extreme poverty, fast-tracking growth, and preventing conflict in a post-pandemic world. It sets out 5 changes that are needed in the development architecture to reach that last 10 per cent of the world's population living in extreme poverty. Challenging traditional ideas of development programming, the book argues for a more evidence-based approach to designing engagement strategies and creating an enabling environment that will allow the sector to move towards innovation-centric development approaches. It also makes a case for securing small but firm wins by focusing on the development challenges that can be overcome easily and cost-effectively, and waging peace with the corporate sector to enable greater reach and synchronicities Engaging, provocative and clear-sighted, the volume draws on topical case studies in democratic governance, refugee response, counterterrorism, gender mainstreaming, environmental protection and private sector engagement. It will be essential for professionals in the development sector, thinktanks and NGOs"--
