Northern domination of the development knowledge industry fundamentally contradicts ‘home-grown solutions and ownership’.

Development should be oriented to this model. To this end, concrete proposals are put forward.

    Given the situation in the South which diverse and varies among different contexts, ‘home grown solution and ownership’ is an interesting breakthrough towards a local-based and local-oriented development. It will also challenge the mainstream approach of single package of knowledge and policy intervention in the name of development from the North which is injected into the South without considering their specific needs and circumstances.
