  • 摘要:In 1999, Amartya Sen published his book Development as Freedom in which he conceptualizes development “as a process of expanding the real freedoms that people enjoy” (36). Sen’s theory that development ideally expands individuals’ agency and freedoms is refected within the goals and objectives of the Millennium Villages Project (MVP). Although the objectives of the MVP align with Sen’s theory about freedom and human capabilities, the linkages between Sen’s ideal for development and the actual implementation of the MVP in Sauri are ambiguous. By juxtaposing Sen’s theory of development with the assessment, training and evaluations invoked in the MVP in Sauri, I will highlight the inconsistencies between the MVP’s objectives and its practices on the ground. Through this analysis I will argue that despite its objectives of empowerment, the MVP fails to present an opportunity by which to fulfll Sen’s ideal for development as freedom.
