The Afterlives of Development Interventions in Eastern Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique)

Project description

Rethinking the long-term consequences of development interventions

Development interventions in the Global South focus on progress and innovation. However, they too often overlook the wider long-term consequences of their work for local communities. Drawing its attention to Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique, the EU-funded AfDevLives project will explore development's tangible and intangible legacies. Through an interdisciplinary approach with a social anthropological core and using careful ethnography involving creative methods, the project will develop a methodological toolkit and a set of outputs aimed at academics, development specialists, participating communities, and the public at large.
