Synopsis

Pioneering Development traces the complex and occasionally dramatic history of what is the longest-established development organisation of its kind in the world. It profiles the leaders who have shaped that history over the years and charts the political demands that they had to contend with behind the scenes at various points along the way; it describes many of the significant projects and investments in which CDC has been involved over the years, highlighting some of its more ambitious and adventurous exploits, including one or two notorious failures as well as many significant success stories; it also provides an insight into the challenges faced and the hardships endured by those many dedicated staff members who, over the years, have often found themselves operating at the sharp end of pioneering ventures in some very remote and sometimes dangerous locations.

From the Publisher

The history of CDC is closely and inextricably bound up with the wider social, political and economic history of the world and it is that which adds a further dimension of interest and significance to this account of CDC's own uniquely fascinating development as it celebrates its Diamond Jubilee.
