Heisenberg's famous uncertainty theory in quantum physics  states that either the location or the speed of an object can be determined but not both simultaneously.  That’s the way some think about development today.  People can’t figure out where we are and don’t know how fast we’re moving.  As IREX celebrates its 45th year, we offer a perspective that could help.

As aid budgets shrink, donors want to see more than just the immediate impact of their dollars – they want to know an investment will be sustainable, continuing to affect people’s lives for years to come. To achieve sustainability, a project has to introduce tools that truly serve local community needs. That’s what I love the most about our Youth Theater for Peace (YTP) programs—they present a flexible methodology, Drama for Conflict Transformation (DCT), which beneficiaries can use to address a range of conflict issues they feel are relevant locally.
