In the work-area ‘Rethinking Development’ we critically consider the wider framework in which policies to promote development and the fight against poverty are designed and implemented.

CIDSE is convinced that if we are to tackle the roots of global injustice we have to address failures in current models of development and sustainability, global governance and financial systems. Our goal is to contribute to creating an alternative and holistic model of development that puts human well-being at its heart. Our work in this area is organised under the following headings

- Reforming the international financial system
- Policy Coherence for Development
- Development effectiveness and impact
- Global Governance
- Growth and Sustainability
- Beyond 2015

The area is huge, about one kilometre across. We spend lots of time hiking from one location to the next, and are grateful for the light cloud cover...
