Unlike most books on development cooperation, which are written from the perspective of aid providers, this book gives voice to local actors – referred to as ‘counterparts’ – in aid recipient countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn an era of geopolitical polarisation and parochialism, \u003cem\u003eAn Oral History of Development Cooperation\u003c\/em\u003e compellingly presents alternative ways of development cooperation founded on mutually respectful relationships between foreign experts and their partners. The case studies cover primary and manufacturing industries, infrastructure, education, health, migration, environmental sustainability, and peace. The book invites readers to rethink how development cooperation can be reimagined in our divided world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn this era when development cooperation undergoes drastic transformation, it is crucial for us to learn from past experiences to inform future strategies. Japan’s approach has focused on teaching people how to fish rather than giving them fish, thereby fostering unbreakable bonds of trust with local people. This book vividly depicts how these trusting relationships enabled development projects to overcome unforeseen challenges and crises. By sharing narratives of those involved, the book also reveals their expectations, frustrations, and a shared sense of accomplishment. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the future direction of global efforts in development cooperation.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAkihiko Tanaka, President, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933770793196,"sku":"9789819554782","price":173.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9789819554782-an-oral-history-of-development-cooperation.jpg?v=1783880530"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/yoichi-mine.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
