Abstract

This chapter provides a brief review of what is missing in conversations that focus only on engineers and community and includes suggested readings for continued learning. Focusing on the role of two missing actors, donors and implementers, the beginning of this chapter broadens the landscape of sustainable community develop and pushes students to think beyond the engineer and community dyad. This chapter defines different types of donor agencies, implementation organizations, and summarizes the interconnected relationships between donors, implementers, and community. The end of the chapter reviews the primary lessons provided through the book and includes additional reading sources for continued learning and personal growth.
