About the Book
The book describes a trailblazing experience of alleviating power by harnessing the power of the poor. The book consists of annotated field notes of 40 years of Aga Khan Rural Support Programme's (AKRSP) work in Pakistan that resulted in doubling the income of 100,000 families in the Himalayan, Karakoram, and Hindukush mountain ranges of Pakistan. It shows that humility, willingness to learn from others, is a science and an art form at the same time. It also covers a host of issues related to truth speaking to power.
|
|
The book shows how the capacity to learn from others can create miracles in alleviating poverty and helping communities realize their potential for development. It provides valuable insights to policymakers, practitioners, government officials, development assistance agencies, academics, and NGOs on the most effective way of achieving SDGs by investing in human and social capital formation.
