Abstract

This chapter tells two stories about the origins of community-driven development - the development model that transfers funds directly to rural and urban communities for them to invest in local needs - inside the World Bank. One story is the historical origins of the model in Indonesia, and its roots in the 1997 East Asia financial crisis. The second story is about the author’s efforts to introduce what is at heart an anthropological, agency-focused approach to development into the World Bank, an institution dominated by economics and regulated by the rules of public finance. The chapter provides an insider perspective on how community-driven development was dealt with on the ground as well as how this policy idea traveled within the Bank.
