This strikes me as a rather apolitical take on the issue. Who is this ‘we’ doing all this good stuff? Where is the politics that make fragile states fragile and when/how is such politics likely to permit/encourage some well intentioned financial engineer to come in and start doing their inclusive thing? Experience surely suggests that fragile states cannot be engineered into stability in this way, hence all the new work on public authority, PDIA, Doing Development Differently etc. This recipe looks more like Doing Development the Same Old Way and we know how that ends
Hi Duncan,
Interesting feedback from you on public authority, PDIA, Doing Development Differently.
It would be great to engage directly and get your feedback too on our recently published research on remittances http://www.fsdafrica.org/uploads/2017/06/Scaling-up-Remittances-15.06.2017_Final.pdf. It could be in the form of a blog too.
Kind regards
Thanks for sharing this. Another interesting topic to read. I learned a lot from this very comprehensive article. Hope to read more interesting article from your site.
