DESCRIPTION

Many aid agencies advocate approaches to development that are people-centered, participatory, empowering, and gender-fair. This volume explores the middle ground between such values-based approaches and the methods and techniques that the agencies adopt. Contributors argue that tools and methods will contribute to a values-based approach only if those using them have a serious commitment to a social agenda.
