1. What are good development and the value of the underlined good development?
Good development is the development that builds on what people have, who they are and what
they already know and do. It supports and helps strengthen existing efforts to overcome the
causes of poverty. Good development recognizes that foreign assistance catalyzes durable
change only when programs build on local initiative.
Good development refers to the basic understanding that is necessary to make sense of one's
world. This includes ideas about the self and others, objects, and the environment. This
foundations l understanding is crucial to communication, travel, and independence.
Good development is an improvement in people's well-being does not do justice to what the
term means to most of us. Development also carries a connotation of lasting change. Providing
a person with a bednet or a water pump can often be an excellent, cost-effective way to improve
her well-being, but if the improvement goes away when we stop providing the bednet or pump,
we would not normally describe that as development. This suggests that development consists
of more than improvements in the well-being of citizens, even broadly defined: it also conveys
something about the capacity of economic, political and social systems to provide the
circumstances for that well-being on a sustainable, long-term basis.
Good development is related with working with poor and marginalized communities with the
most acute basic human needs that currently have limited power to change their situation.
Good development is a development that use social transformation tools (grants, loans, equity),
in cooperation with other key actors (government, industry, civil society) to create prioritize
social capital investments to exceptional programs operating where extraordinary need and
opportunities coexist.
