Human Scale Development; An Option for the Future

The Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation has, since the publication of the 1975 Dag Hammarskjöld Report, What Now: Another Development, concentrated heavily on the sectoral aspects of the alternative development strategies advocated in this seminal document. As readers of Development Dialogue are well aware, a long series of seminars has been organized under the Foundation’s auspices, or in cooperation with like-minded organisations, to test the applicability of the ideas of Another Development— need-oriented, self-reliant, endogenous, ecologically sound and based on structural transformations—in areas such as rural development, health, education, science and technology (especially plant genetic resources and biotechnology), international monetary policy, information and communication, and participation.
