These volumes constitute a unique, inspiring and practically useful
compilation of the rich variety of innovative good practice being
pioneered at governmental, NGO and community levels in so many
Third World countries. They provide a wealth of information on a
large number of particular policies, projects and organizations in
Asia, Latin America and Africa. The project is the result of an
initiative by UNDP's Special Unit for Technical Cooperation among
Developing Countries. The process of selection and description has
been carried out by Third World Network in Penang headed by Martin
Khor, drawing on the detailed knowledge of, amongst others, Claude
Alvares of the Other India Press, Roberto Bissio of the Instituto
del Tercer Mundo in Uruguay and Berhane Egziabher of the Institute
for Sustainable Development in Ethiopia. The practical importance
of this three-volume collection is to contribute to the process of
replication across the South of the best ideas, practice and ways
of organizing. These are based on a number of common principles,
including respect for local cultures and knowledge systems; genuine
harmony with the natural world; quality outcomes of real benefit to
local communities and countries; and equity and democratic
involvement. In political terms, this richly variegated and
inspiring collection shows us all what some remarkable communities,
organizations and governments in the Third World are achieving.
