Focusing on two Australian Government-funded WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) projects in rural Vietnam and Cambodia, it investigates how development interventions can expand--or constrain--people's capabilities to live the lives they value.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough the projects share similar designs and implementation processes, a capability-informed analysis reveals distinct outcomes and subtle differences shaped by local contexts, social structures, and human agency. The book introduces an analytical framework grounded in three determinants of capability change--access to resources, effective agency, and socio-structural context--to explore how social inclusion and women's empowerment unfold within complex realities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMoving beyond conventional performance reporting that counts inputs and outputs, the Capability lens brings people's experiences, voices, and reasoning to the forefront. It offers scholars, practitioners, and policymakers a grounded model for understanding ethical, inclusive, and sustainable development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lien Pham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9819561140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789819561148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.50d","brand":"Lien Pham","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997271503103,"sku":"9789819561148","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-impact-with-the-capability-lien-pham-9789819561148","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
