Why do some development projectssucceed where others fail? This book looks at the overlooked success storiesand considers what enabled them to alleviate poverty in some of the world'smost deprived communities. Using case studies from ten countries across LatinAmerica, Africa and Asia, Tiwari's innovative approach offers a multi-layeredunderstanding of poverty which provides insights into causal, enabling andimpeding factors.
While a macro level analysis ofdevelopment is a common feature of the current literature, there has beenlittle attempt to develop a micro level understanding of development at thegrassroots. Tiwari's work fills this important gap while drawing attention tothe importance of engaging local actors at an individual, collective and statelevel, demonstrating how achieving a 'convergence' of goals among all actors isa crucial and unheeded component to a development project's success. Lookingbeyond the case studies to consider how this unique 'convergence framework'might be usefully applied to other contexts, the book has profound implicationsfor how we view fragile states and conflict zones, and the ability of theinternational agencies to take effective action.
A unique study based onextensive empirical research, Why Some Development Works will make essential reading for students and researchersstudying international development across the social sciences, as well as humanitarianand development practitioners.
