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 Peace 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.
Reviews / Votes
"This volume is a labour of love. The authors' commitment to, and experiences in, aid and development are charted with honesty and openness. They have in the process come to understand themselves and their motivations better. We, the readers, can benefit similarly by reading these thoroughly enjoyable, stimulating and often very moving accounts."Sir Myles Wickstead, Visiting Professor of International Relations, King's College London, UK and coordinator of the 1997 UK Government White Paper, Eliminating World Poverty: A Challenge for the 21st Century
"A welcome volume masterfully edited and brilliantly and thoughtfully written by development practitioners from nearly 20 countries of their struggles and victories in their journey of development practice. The eye-opening and reflective work is a must-read for anyone interested in development issues."
Ashok Swain, Professor of Peace and Conflict Research & UNESCO Chair on International Water Cooperation, Uppsala University, Sweden
