Synopsis

In Inclusive People Power, Mohammad Baquer Namazi recounts a life shaped by public service, principled leadership, and an unwavering commitment to human dignity.

From his early work in Iran's Planning and Budget Organisation to his role as Governor of Khuzestan, and later as a senior development practitioner with UNICEF, Namazi brings readers inside the institutions where policies are shaped, and where their real-world consequences are felt most deeply. Drawing on decades of experience across government, international organisations, and civil society, he offers a rare and thoughtful perspective on the challenges of advancing inclusive development within restrictive political environments.

This memoir goes beyond personal history. It explores the ethical and practical dilemmas faced by those who seek reform in difficult systems, where progress often requires persistence, restraint, and moral clarity. Through lived experience, Namazi reflects on the importance of institutional integrity, community participation, and the quiet but determined efforts of ordinary citizens striving for justice and opportunity.

Both deeply personal and analytically grounded, this book is a testament to the enduring pursuit of inclusive change. It speaks to policymakers, scholars, development practitioners, and all who believe that even in the most constrained environments, meaningful progress remains possible.
