A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The organizational and institutional embedding of new learning is one of the biggest challenges for development. This book in the "Why Development Matters" series takes a learning approach to development, focusing the learning that takes place through development action - be it intentional and structured, or the outcome of different forms of engagement. "Learning for Development" also demonstrates how important a critical awareness of the social dynamics of learning is for individuals and their organizations, and for building coherent policy and action. Through a number of case-studies and a wealth of interdisciplinary research, "Learning for Development" proposes a more flexible model of development action which aims to ensure that projects address the specific needs of, improves dialogue between, local groups and individuals.

Revue de presse :

'I commend Johnson and Wilson for this excellent book in which they reflect on the role that learning can play in development. It deals with complex issues in a style that is both considered and clear; critical and committed. It should be required reading for those who unreflectively "do development' --Simon McGrath, Professor of International Education and Development, Nottingham
