In this book, influential development practitioners reflect on
their careers by writing letters of advice to their younger selves.
Sharing their successes and failures, the challenges and barriers
they have encountered, and the changes and continuities within
their work, these deeply personal accounts provide an invaluable
window into the world of development practice. The authors come
from nearly 20 countries. They have held a rich mix of jobs across
a range of sectors and organisational types, bringing a long-term
perspective to the sector’s contemporary challenges. The
distinguished list includes a Nobel prize winner, senior figures in
government and international organisations, those working at the
frontline of humanitarian aid and civil society organisations, and
those who might not even have thought of themselves as
‘development professionals’, such as technologists and social
entrepreneurs. Despite the differences, common themes emerge: the
pursuit of meaningful change, the navigation of barriers, and the
ongoing sense of hope. This book will inspire those about to embark
on their professional careers and remind new entrants and current
development practitioners alike how much there remains to be done.
