I always wanted to know the reason behind paradox of Bangladesh. Despite political turmoil how a nation can see promising growth. NGOs' like BRAC, CARE have played a great role in the development of Bangladesh. Nutrition , child healthcare, tuberculosis or diarrhea are just a fragment of sectors improved radically by BRAC. I really liked the way contexts are broken down. It started with Why a development model was chosen , what obstacles were faced & how they managed it. How a long term view can open up business opportunities hence make the development sustainable. BRAC really focused on SUSTAINABLE development which is reflected in all the efforts and success stories. Ian Smillie A book to read to know what BRAC has done for Bangladesh!! Ian Smillie Best book I've found on BRAC, though I've done minimal digging. If you are considering reading one of the Yunus/Grameen books, I'd recommend BRAC and this book instead. A truly remarkable story. Ian Smillie It is amazing what an organization that really wants to help people can do. BRAC, the NGO discussed in this book, is a Bangladeshi group founded on research, innovation, and evaluation to help the poor. Its success is undeniable. Definitely learned a lot from this book about NGO administration and working with the poor. Ian Smillie Great story about an amazing organisation. Ian Smillie
