Content Evaluation[edit]

The content of the article is relevant, but it is also extremely limited, referencing people-centered development in the 1980s-90s and no more recently. It also focuses on the man who came up with the term "people-centered development," David Korten. The article heavily focuses on Korten and his contributions without mention of those who have improved and built upon his ideas to promote people-centered development. Additionally, the article fails to include information on theories of development, which this is. The theory needs to be put into context better and expanded upon because currently, the article does not give a full, fair picture of people-centered development in 2020, let alone the 2000s. Also, the article heavily references government and government programs as producers of change, when people-centered development itself focuses less on government and more on communities developing in ways suitable to their respective values.
