Meet The Authors

Smart Risks is a collaborative effort by 22 authors from 7 countries and 20 organizations who represent a range of players within the global development sector that are already taking “smart risks”. They range from grantors and funders, to small grants advocates in larger organizations, program managers, and community leaders – all united by why they do what they do.
