This subject provides foundational knowledge and skills on development practice for postgraduate coursework students. Guest speakers from various agencies share their experiences of the development field, providing students with an opportunity to draw on professional expertise. Students are introduced to key development tools, processes and debates surrounding the implementation of development projects. On completion students will be familiar with grant proposal writing, practical tools used in development intervention, and with debates about the best forms of development intervention. In this subject, students develop and deploy a tool kit of practical techniques and strategies to address sustainability and development challenges that transcend borders, in culturally aware ways that promote community agency and social cohesion.
