About

DevelopmentAnalyst examines development programs and policies through the lens of empirical evidence rather than good intentions. It investigates both successful development initiatives and common development failures.

Combining development economics, program evaluation, and development practice research, DevelopmentAnalyst reveals the gap between development theory and practice. It emphasizes evidence-based approaches and local context.

Readers develop sophisticated understanding of development challenges and effective interventions. Each analysis provides frameworks for improving development practice and policy design.
