How can continuous reflection and learning help tackle climate change in the context of wider development challenges? This interactive PDF aims to support ongoing learning by those inside and outside DFID to develop their own learning journey - no matter what their country, context or level of personal expertise. It reflects the combined knowledge of DFID staff and external experts generated over two years on a shared learning journey through the Learning Hub programme. http://www.ids.ac.uk/idspublication/learning-to-tackle-climate-change http://www.ids.ac.uk/idspublication/learning-to-tackle-climate-change Fri, 25 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT Climate Change Vincent, J. B. M. Sierra Leone’s bitter civil war saw the collapse of the state to a large degree, while rural governance systems continued to function. While the international community has tended to focus on rebuilding from the centre outwards, this paper analyses the reconstruction from the perspective of local communities and their chiefs. http://www.ids.ac.uk/idspublication/a-village-up-view-of-sierra-leone-s-civil-war-and-reconstruction-multilayered-and-networked-governance-research-summary http://www.ids.ac.uk/idspublication/a-village-up-view-of-sierra-leone-s-civil-war-and-reconstruction-multilayered-and-networked-governance-research-summary Mon, 14 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT Sierra Leone Vincent, J.

Sierra Leone not only has a direct relationship with its citizens as individuals but also a mediated one through the rural governance systems that pre-dated colonialism and often have greater legitimacy than the central state itself. http://www.ids.ac.uk/idspublication/a-village-up-view-of-sierra-leone-s-civil-war-and-reconstruction-multilayered-and-networked-governance http://www.ids.ac.uk/idspublication/a-village-up-view-of-sierra-leone-s-civil-war-and-reconstruction-multilayered-and-networked-governance Mon, 14 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT Sierra Leone Koehler, G.

As a number of developing countries gained independence in the 1960s, there was an optimism of possibilities for accelerating economic and social advance in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The Institute of Development Studies was established in 1966 and rapidly became a centre of new and challenging ideas about ending poverty in these regions. This book brings together 20 articles written by pioneers of international development, fascinating for their early challenges to orthodox thinking and bold in suggesting alternatives. Covering five key dimensons, each piece has a new introduction by Sir Richard Jolly indicating its impact on policy over the years and the enduring relevance for the challenges of our times. http://www.ids.ac.uk/idspublication/milestones-and-turning-points-in-development-thinking http://www.ids.ac.uk/idspublication/milestones-and-turning-points-in-development-thinking Tue, 20 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT VPR Lema, R.
