Traditional Approach to Development
1. The transfer of resources from rich countries in the North to poorer countries in the South, accompanied by reform prescriptions
2. The development institutions that channeled the transfers were opaque, with little transparency of what they financed and what results they achieved
3. The engagement in developing countries was with a narrow set of government elites with little interaction with citizens who are the ultimate beneficiaries of development assistanceSanjay Pradhan, World Bank: http://www.ted.com/talks/sanjay_pradhan_how_open_data_is_changing_international_aid.html
