Criticism that the development sector has not delivered in terms of
eliminating extreme poverty, fast-tracking growth and preventing
conflict, is neither new nor surprising. In fact, it may be the one
thing that scholars, donors and practitioners agree on. While many
of these concerns are valid, this book makes a case that the sector
is closer to unlocking the gates to more effective and efficient
development outcomes than is popularly believed. Specifically, it
argues that, by overturning a few myths, making better use evidence
and employing some different rules, practitioners, policy
specialists and donors can foster the changes in the development
architecture that are needed to reach the 10 percent of the world's
population still living in extreme poverty. Engaging, provocative
and clear-sighted, the book provides insight into interventions
around democratic governance, refugee response, counterterrorism,
gender mainstreaming, environmental protection and private sector
engagement. It is instructive reading for professionals across the
development sector, think tanks and NGOs.
