Economic matters entered a new phase of importance in the wake of
the Cold War. Concerns within development-assistance efforts to the
Third World have also shifted. The current macro-environment of
development has been accompanied by a plethora of new concerns and
methods, such as how to consider gender in development projects and
how to develop participatory-centered projects. Yet no text has
covered many of the new approaches and techniques related to
development projects, including issues of participation, gender,
and evaluation-until now. Hira and Parfitt bridge these serious
gaps, drawing on their hands-on experience and teaching in the
field. The end of the Cold War was supposed to bring a new era of
peace prosperity, and development. However, the post-Cold War world
has not led to any major improvements in development. In this book,
Hira and Parfitt examine why 50 years of development have not led
to the wiping out of poverty. In the first part of the book, they
break down the political agendas behind development in the
post-Cold War World, as well as the serious flaws in current
development project management. In the remainder of the book they
look carefully at a number of new initiatives that seek to correct
these problems, examining carefully their promise for bringing
about more tangible results. This book provides a thorough overview
of the classic concerns and approaches of development project
management, including clear explanations of predominant planning
and evaluation practices. In addition, the book introduces the
major new initiatives in development project management, including
those regarding environmental sustainability, participation,
gender, and the steps needed to create a real learning environment
in development project planning. The result is a guide for the
project manager and policymaker who want to know the implications
of recent development ideas in terms of everyday practices, as well
as for the student and interested citizen seeking to move beyond
theory and critique to see how new practices can change the way
that development projects are administered.
