A prerequisite for effective develoment work is a knowledge and understanding of the approach, perspective and value-base from which the practitioner works. This handbook aims to provide a source of knowledge and inspiration to those actively engaged in development work. It demonstrates that the discipline of the field worker is an art which demands imagination, flexibility, the ability to work with ambiguity and contradiction, and to use guidelines but not rules. It provides suggestions on how western-trained workers should think about themselves and their work, and views development from various viewpoints - the individual, the organization, community and society.
