Pause for a coffee?

Cafezinho (ca-fay-zheen-yo) is the diminutive for black coffee in Portuguese and almost a synonym for "cozy", "informal", "intimate" in Brazil. All over the world people meet over coffee to catch up, engage in discussions, exchange ideas. Inspired by the cafezinho and the senses that it evokes, this blog is a meeting point for people who - like me - believe that development solutions work best when they are designed with peers who have faced similar challenges or are going though similar constraints. This blog is also an open space for practitioners to connect with each other, across countries, across regions, and share their ideas and experiences on how to improve international development systems, modalities and practices. Guest bloggers from developing countries will be invited to post regularly, encourage other practitioners to use social media, and build a critical mass of Southern thinkers - and doers! All in short texts to be read in a coffee break. For you to feel the comfort of your home, wherever it is.
