The paper discusses the relevance of the human development and capability
approach for development project planning, management and evaluation. With reference
to the set of five other studies that it introduces, it suggests in which areas insights from
human development-and-capability thinking offer advances and in which areas such
thinking needs to link with and be complemented or corrected by thinking from other
sources and traditions. The paper aims at capturing the learning from recent experiences
and studies, both for project planning and for the human capabilities perspective.
