Abstract

The book describes the objectives of sustainable people-centred development and the processes required to achieve it, focusing on the five factors which determine effectiveness: suitable organisational design; competent leadership and human resources; mobilisation of high quality finance; and the measurement of performance coupled to 'learning for leverage'. In each area the book explains the capacities needed and how they can be assessed and improved. [abstract taken from book cover].
