Warm congratulations to Ian Smillie on the publication of his memoir, Under Development, reflecting on his 50 years of learning and action in fighting poverty and advancing justice in Africa and around the world. A perceptive analyst and superb writer, and of Canada’s most accomplished and creative nonprofit leaders, Ian built breakthrough programs at CUSO, Inter Pares and the Diamond Development Initiative, working with governments, civil society, and the private sector. But, he argues, despite exaggerated claims to the contrary, international development programs aren’t working. We need to do more and do it smarter and better. Order your copy of Under Development in paperback or hardcover from Indigo in Canada, Barnes and Noble in the US, and in the UK or as an e-book from Practical Action Publishers HERE
