Accompanying the Process: Principles for International Development Practice

This paper explores issues in North-South development partnership, in the context of an experience of South-North cooperation in integrating gender awareness into social work curriculum in Nicaragua. Reflections on this experience produce a recommendation of acompañamiento as a model of international development practice. Informed by a ‘gender and development’ approach, this model can help our southern partners become genuine architects of their own change processes, rather than passive recipients of development assistance.
