Wonderful New Site on Exploring and Learning from Failure in the International Development Community (from Engineers without Borders) January 16, 2011

New website launched by Engineers without Borders see http://admittingfailure.com/

This site is an open space for those in the international development community who want to honestly and publicly share their failures. It is a conversation and it is an archive. It aims to create a culture in the broader international development community where failure is embraced. It begins with a quote:

All my successes have been built on my failures.” – Benjamin Disraeli

Human and economic development are complex. Progress requires testing, trialing and constant iteration – in short, many failures.
