  ZRDC Approach
In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the complexity of the development process. A well-intended project or policy measure may fail due to chain reactions in its environment, unforeseen at the outset, at least to the promoter. Inevitably, the environment is multi-faceted and multi-layered including political, economic, social, and natural aspects, each with their own mutually inter-related history. In order to assess properly the degree of risks and rewards and to ensure the sustainability of a venture, careful multidisciplinary analysis is essential in project planning as well as in operation. Such analysis must be unbiased, unclouded by prejudices and preconceptions. This is particularly true for national projects. It is not uncommon for people with different backgrounds to discuss a matter without realizing that each of them brings different assumptions to the discussion. What is common sense to one is not necessarily common sense to another.
