BURGESS BOOK - HUNDREDS OF ISSUES
Hundreds of Issues that Impact Relief and Development Performance
GO TOP
This text originated in the early 1990s and resulted in a book published in 2006 to highlight the need to have multi-issue initiatives to solve complex enviro-socio-economic problems. A single bullet will not solve problems!
This was published using Lulu.com print on demand
INTRODUCTION to ISSUES
There are ISSUES that have to be addressed in every society ... in every human organization ... and in every system. Most times, an effective outcome in addressing an issue cannot be achieved by a single simple 'silver bullet' but requires system thinking and addressing many ISSUES in parallel. This was the theme of much of the thinking that preceded TVM in the 1990s and into the 2000s.
TPB/TVIA commentary:
Far too much of policy making during the past 50 years has attempted tp solve a problem ... and issue ... with a single issue focus and response. This might have worked in earlier times, butas the world has become more and more interconnected this approach is bound to fail. Take for example, the United Nations, which has a lot of specialized expertise in its various specialized agencies all of which are organized on single sector lines. In the real world at the country level the poblems overlap many sectors, and this need for multi-sector solutions persists to every community on the planet. The same critique applies to other organizations like, for example, the World Bank and most national governments.
My work in international development and humanitarian assistance was successful when there was the opportunity to engage multi-sector initiatives, whereas single sector projects rarely worked.

Also short summary for each chapter
Open PDF ... Contents
Chapter 1 - Introduction and Context
This chapter sets out to introduce the write, establish his credibility in this subject area and the set the context for the development of True Value Metrics (TVM) or something like it. Though the book is very critical of established metrics and global socio-economic performance, the book aims to be optimistic about a future that uses better metrics!
Open PDF ... Chapter 1
Chapter 2 - How True Value Metrics Improves Quality of Life
This chapter introduces the way TVM puts data at the center of everything … but data that are about value as well as just about money. This chapter introduces the framework for analysis that is used in TVM and how with this framework there can be more decision making utility without catastrophic data overload.
Open PDF ... Chapter 2
Chapter 3 - Data Types and Attributes
Data is at the center of TVM … but exactly what data? This chapter describes different characteristics of data that are used by TVM, and the importance TVM puts on knowing about time and place in connection with all the data.
Open PDF ... Chapter 3
Chapter 4 - Analysis Methods
This chapter is about the ways in which TVM data are used in analysis … the importance of the value component as well as the money component. This chapter shows how the basic money accounting framework is used and how a community perspective is different from an organization perspective.
Open PDF ... Chapter 4
Chapter 5 - State, Progress and Performance
This chapter goes into more detail about the three core elements of TVM analysis … the state, the progress and the performance. These are modifications of the core business accounting idea of balance sheet and profit and loss account that enable the value aspect of society to be part of a similar construct. The chapter also includes the value version of costs, revenues and profits or losses.
Open PDF ... Chapter 5
Chapter 6 - Entities for Value Analysis and Reporting
This chapter describes the change in perspective that there is with TVM compared to the organization perspective that dominates business money accounting, and organization centric performance analysis. TVM makes people and the performance of the community central to the metrics.
Open PDF ... Chapter 6
Chapter 7 - Enabling Technology
This is a short chapter. This chapter does not attempt to describe technology, but merely to alert the reader to the idea that technology is extremely powerful and can enable data analysis in ways that were impossible just a few years ago. It also alerts the reader to some of the issues that are emerging related to information infrastructure.
Open PDF ... Chapter 7
Chapter 8 - Using True Value Metrics
This chapter is a primer on how TVM can be used by anyone anywhere. For some readers this may the the only chapter they bother with … so it aims to be practical while having enough of the driving concept of TVM embedded in the practical guidance. (A LOT OF WORK TO DO ON THIS CHAPTER!)

This is a 9 page essay written jointly by Peter Burgess and Kirimi Kaberia and presented at the INR Roundtable on Africa's Economic Future in April 19, 2002. Africa has an enormously untapped potential. It is an enormous place. Geographically, Africa is bigger than China and India and Europe and the USA and Argentina combined. It is home to around 800 million people. The continent has lots of “living space”. But most of Africa is desperately poor, and too many are hungry. What is the problem and what should be done?

INTRODUCTION to ISSUES
A BURGESS BOOK written in 2006 to highlight the many isisues that needed to be addressed
INTRODUCTION to ISSUES There are ISSUES that have to be addressed in every society ... in every human organization ... and in every system. Most times, an effective outcome in addressing an issue cannot be achieved by a single simple 'silver bullet' but requires system thinking and addressing many ISSUES in parallel. This was the theme of much of the thinking that preceded TVM in the 1990s and into the 2000s.
This text originated in the early 1990s and resulted in a book published in 2006 to highlight the need to have multi-issue initiatives to solve complex enviro-socio-economic problems. A single bullet will not solve problems!

UNDP Horn of Africa Programme
Sustainable Develoment Programme for Reintegration of Displaced Persons and Returned Refugees and the Rehabilitation of Host Communities in Northwest Somalia and Eastern Ethiopia
TPB Note: This work was led by DeeDee Angagaw of UNDP. I provided a range of technical support activities to assist in converting all the imput from two teams of local consultants into a coherent integrate plan and the related documentation. One of the consulting teams was comprised on local consultants from Somaliland (sometimes referred to as Northwest Somalia) and another team from Ethiopia. This was the first time that professional teams from Somalia and Ethiopia had worked together in cooperation since the Somalia / Ethiopia war of 1978 about 20 years before. The team visited the affected region of Eastern Ethiopia and a three daya workshop to coordinate the findings took place in Jijiga. A second three day workshop took place in Hargeisa in Somaliland following field work in Somaliland. The team leaders coordinated closely with the Government of Somaliland. The draft final report was presented to the UN Resident Representative in Addis Ababa at the conclusion of the field work. The UNDP Assistant Res Rep opined that it was impossible for our team to have done the work in the time we had taken, which might have been true if we had relied on international experts from outside the region, but by involving very experienced local consultants our time was highly producive. My 'push-back' to the ctiticism was simply that we could have done the work in half the time, if I had been able to type twice as fast. This was a perfect example of local experts knowing what needed to be done ... with the contribution of international experts merely to make it possible to get done. Outside the direct scope of this UNDP work, I travelled to the African Development Bank in Cote d'Ivoire to try to enable ODA funding for the programme, recognizing that Somaliland was not an official independent country, but a part of Somalia, even though it was totally governed from Hargeisa with no involvement at all from Mogadishu. These discussed proved fruitless, even though several high level ADP staff were from Somaliland.
