GOODBYE TO PROJECTS?

David Howlett (pictured left) has been awarded a research grant of almost £240,000 to look into the challenges of the use of the sustainable livelihood approach to development.

David, of the Development and Project Planning Centre, has been given the money for a research project entitled: 'Goodbye to Projects? The Institutional Impacts of a Livelihood Approach on Projects and Project Cycle Management.'

The project, which has been funded by the Department for International Development (DFID), is a collaborative effort between the Economic and Policy Research Centre, in Uganda; Khanya - Managing Rural Change, in South Africa; and the Institute for Development Management, in Tanzania.

David said: "Researchers will undertake an innovative review of the challenges to the use of the sustainable livelihood approach to development. Central to this will be to question the role of projects in development interventions and the development of sector-wide approaches."
