* Argues that, to be successful, development must be understood and
approached as a "complex system"* Presents case studies that
demonstrate the power that all actors have to make a difference*
Essential reading for all aid and development practitioners,
scholars, policymakers, and donorsRapid and profound changes are
taking place in international development. The past two decades
have seen a rise in the ideals of participation and partnership and
attempts to enable the voices of the poor to be heard. Yet embedded
traditions, vested interests, and bureaucratic inertia mean that
old behaviors persist and planning continues as though free of
chaotic interactions among stakeholders. "Inclusive Aid" exposes
the need to recognize the complex, nonlinear nature of development
assistance and how bureaucratic procedures and power relations
hinder poverty reduction in the new aid environment. A host of
academics, policymakers, and practitioners, expose the challenges
and opportunities facing the aid community today and argue for
greater attention to issues of accountability and the adoption of
rights-based approaches. They reveal the highly politicized and
dynamic aid environment in which they work, and challenge existing
political, institutional, and personal ways of working. Crucially,
the book shows how translating rhetoric into practice relies on
changing the attitudes and behaviors of individual actors.
