Between a Swamp and a Hard Place: Developmental Challenges in Remote Rural Africa (Harvard Studies in International Development)

By David C. Cole and Richard Huntington

In a remote area of Sudan, the Abyei project embodied the idealistic hopes of the new directions for development aid of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Within this optimistic context, Harvard Institute for International Development was invited to assist the leaders of the Ngok Dinka people in developing their homeland. The goal was to discover and implement innovations that would benefit the local population in a sustainable manner.
