This document presents an anthropological framework for development practices that focuses on contexts, actors, and resources rather than problems, targets, and solutions. It discusses analyzing development in context, unpacking the different actors involved, understanding the knowledge and logics that influence decisions, and how institutions can enable or prevent change. The framework aims to provide a more holistic understanding of development compared to traditional top-down approaches.
