Summary

"Aid That Works presents eight case studies of successful development projects in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. While the projects are diverse in their approach and objectives, the studies suggest that development initiatives in fragile states can have significant positive impacts if they engage with local communities and governments that are often more resilient than the central state apparatus."--BOOK JACKET.
