This course focuses on understanding international development. It is split into two main sections.
The first section introduces three key themes: powers and agency, scale, and history (PASH). These themes are explored through two case study cities, Detroit and Shanghai.
The second section looks at programmes to promote livelihoods among low-income people, giving you an opportunity to critically reflect on these interventions.

No flash videos appear?
I can’t access the flash video even after installing an android flash player? Can someone help?
This is a very good course. I find interesting the pros and cons of cash transfer vs micro credit. It is indeed a fresh perspective.
VERY EXCELLENT COURSE
the course is nice but the admin of the page and site is not even able to guide one to get the course completion certificate. Itried a lot to get the certificate i did not succeed. And the admin has no answer to my problem. Is there any one who knows this.
Hi
This course does not have a completion certificate. All courses that have a certificate or badge will show this on the course home page.
We are sorry you did not notice this when exploring the course.
Kind regards
HT
certificate of completion
I just want to ask about the possibility of obtaining a certificate of completion after finishing the course?
Understanding International Development
I have worked in international development for 5 years and have been on a bit of a break. This has been a good solid base as I look to get back to it. I have enjoyed the individual units and the information. The only issue I have is that the videos didn’t play for me at all so I missed out on some of it.
Overall, I enjoyed it and gives me a newish thoughts on something I love.
