Equity, Evaluation, and International Cooperation: In Pursuit of Proximate Peers in an African City
By Gabriella Carolini, associate professor of urban studies and planning
Oxford University Press · 2022
In this book, Carolini emphasizes that equitable partnership on the ground delivers the best results in the Global South. In her view, the best development projects involve close cooperation between proximate peers: the sharing of information among partners, a consistent presence on the ground, nonhierarchical governance, and a drive toward "equity," in many forms, as a key project goal.
From Summer 2023 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
