In this panel, four practitioners from government, NGOs and the UN discuss how they engage with and apply a human development framework in their work to bridge the divide between research and practice.

Amartya Sen and Paulo Freire – What can emancipatory development learn from them?

Talk by Dr. Bill Walker
Hosted by the HDCA Asia-Pacific Regional Network (APRN)
