emerging developmental issues debate (2 Ergebnisse)

Zustand: New.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Development is a pro-poor approach that equally values and includes the contributions of all stakeholders - including marginalized groups - in addressing development issues. Inclusive development promotes transparency and accountability, and enhances development cooperation outcomes through collaboration between civil society, governments and private sector actors. Diversity is a fact of life. Difference is normal. Some people are excluded from society because of difference. Difference can be due to a range of factors, some universal, some cultural and context specific. Inclusion is about society changing to accommodate difference, and to combat discrimination. It sees society as the problem, not the person. Development fails when governments neglect the needs of the very people it is designed to help. Yet too often, countries undertake development policies and programs in response to donor demands or private sector interests at the cost of citizen involvement, resulting in ineffective and sometimes destructive developmental programs.
