Wednesday, December 1, 2010. ODA, Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction.

Wednesday, November 17, 2010. Young Lives in Transition: From School to Adulthood? 65279; . It was interesting that the panel echoed the conclusions of the morning plenary that development is essentially a political process; that we need to think big – no more ‘micro development’! Some big questions emerged in our discussions such as what are the moral meanings of work and education in different communities and how do these shape young people’s identities? There are also interesting issues to address ...

Saturday, December 3, 2011. Men in Black: Busan draws to a close. Despite the proliferation of Men in Black suits at Busan, there is, as a Woman in Red, much to be positive about: the space given to voices not often heard at these kinds of events has made for a more inclusive outcome document and a groundswell of discussions, activities and liaisons formed to support it. So, what are the implications for the DSA? We were out there at the kind invitation of KAIDEC, the Korean Association of international ...
