Cecile has over 25 years of professional experience in the international development sector, including public-private partnerships (PPPs), rural development, agricultureand food security, with a focus primarily on Africa.Karen Batjes (MPA, Carleton, Canada) Many of the people trained in m4sdi have become believers and practitioners of the approach because it addresses several of the most serious concerns in development, such as the difficulty in reaching primary stakeholders, designing effective strategies and related monitoring and evaluation (m&e), focusing on capacity development and change management, and achieving sustainable development impact. The strength of m4sdi lies in its people-centred approach and how it seeks to integrate management processes within a complex environment.The evolvement of the approach needs to be documented to share lessons learned and support capacity development. And so the principles and practices covered in this guide relate to a variety of development initiatives/organizations in the fields of agriculture, food security, local economic development, value chains, enterprise development, and ecosystem governance. Much of the discussion takes place within the often complex context of development. As such, the guide aims to find a good balance between comprehensiveness and the principle of 'less is more'. | who this guide is forThis guide is meant to help leaders, managers, decision-makers, m&e staff and other development practitioners navigate their organizations and development initiatives more effectively towards sustainable development impact. It provides ideas, theories and tools which will help practitioners to better:• understand the context in which the development initiative/organization operates, and tailor m4sdi to this specific context;• connect sustainable development-related goals to stakeholder perspectives and motivations;
