The project has become fundamental to international development and
humanitarian practice, playing a key role in defining objectives,
funding streams and ultimately determining what success looks like.
This book provides a much needed overview of the project in
international development practice, guiding the reader through the
latest theoretical debates, and exploring the core tools and stages
of planning and design. The book starts with an overview of the
role of the project through development history, before taking the
reader through the stages of a standard project management cycle.
Each chapter introduces the stage, the most common tools used to
support that phase of planning, and the critical debates that exist
around it, with examples to illustrate discussion from around the
world and a range of development fields. The book explores the
challenges to working effectively in contemporary aid conetxts,
including the role of politics and the pressures wrought by the
demands to demonstrate quantified results. Throughout, the book
argues for the need to see the project as a form of governmentality
that arranges resources and people in time and space, and which
extends neoliberal forms of managerial control in the sector.
Ending with suggestions for innovation, this book is perfect for
anyone looking for an accessible and engaging guide to the
international development project, whether student, researcher or
practitioner.
