This issue views emerging development concerns through major global crises of the past four years on financial, fuel, food, and climate. The aim of this initiative strives to build a grounded view of the effects of the crises in people’s lives, to explore the challenges on core assumptions that are on development and to surface new ideas emerging in different sectors in the wake of the crisis. CEPA contributed to the article - Development Professionals: Reconciling Personal Values With Professional Values. By Neranjana Gunetilleke, Nilakshi De Silva and Gayathri Lokuge. Papers in this issue include: Development Professionals: Reconciling Personal Values with Professional Values. This article is the result of conversations among a group of development professionals associated with the Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) in Sri Lanka, around questions of the values with which CEPA conduct work and what this means for CEPA’s practices. The aim of this research site was to explore whether the personal values and aspirations of development professionals can provide a starting point to amend and improve mainstream development thinking.
