| Summary: | Abstract Strategic opportunism is adaptive management writ large. It seeks to transform problems into solutions. It recognises serendipity and embraces unexpected opportunities and the political moment. The development and application of the concept is based on experience drawn from multiple projects, across ten countries, within biomes ranging from hyper-arid desert, to tropical savanna, and to sub-Antarctic tundra, and within dynamic socio-political landscapes. The thesis of this book is that success depends on a clear and shared vision, within a flexible approach to project design and implementation, free of the straight-jacket of development agency project formats and short-term funding horizons. |
