Engineering for sustainable human development

Complete Title: 
Engineering for sustainable human development : a guide to successful small-scale community projects
Non IUCN Publication

Author(s):

Abstract: 

In this book, Bernard Amadei addresses the role of engineering in poverty reduction and human development. He introduces a framework to help engineers conduct small-scale projects in communities vulnerable to the consequences of a wide range of adverse events. His framework combines concepts and tools traditionally used by development agencies with techniques from engineering project management and systems thinking. When blended, these tools and techniques from seemingly unrelated fields offer engineers better methods to manage the difficulties inherent in community development projects.
