Kulturelles Erbe und Entwicklung: fragwürdiger Ansatz zur Operationalisierung des BMZ-Rahmenkonzeptes für die entwicklungspolitische Planung

The authors from the Ethnological Seminar at the University of Zurich try to develop a model for measuring the level of socio-cultural development that is as objective as possible, as a contribution to operationalising the BMZ framework concept for development policy planning. The attempt to serve up the "socio-cultural dimension" of the development of African countries, for example, to development planners in a digestible form from the desk is not very convincing. Development planners cannot avoid dealing intensively with the specific socio-cultural characteristics of a country on the ground.
