All that is wrong with 'international development' in one thread.
Imagine Bridge 'came' to your country, to fix your schools.
Exactly.

A reflection from @ODI_Global's webinar on agile procurement: In most places "agile procurement" is sadly an oxymoron. To succeed in digital transformation projects, we need agile project management & empowered procurement - where people have freedom to be creative & open.

So what are their priorities & ideas for reform?
We invited MDB leaders to share their views.

It'll take courage.
