The relationship between culture, values and development?

What is the relationship between culture, values and economic development?
Organisations involved in supporting the development of systems and infrastructure in lower income countries have for long realised that changing hearts and minds is a critical part of the reform process. But many have not realised that simply transplanting market-based approaches to human resource management to traditional societies may not work since HR systems themselves make certain cultural and value judgements.
In short what is often called the 'soft stuff' in development is really the hard stuff. OpenCities director Marc Stephens discusses his experience working in the Libyan public financial sector.

CPFs help to ensure that the World Bank's country driven model is systematic, evidence-based, selective, and focused on ending extreme poverty and increasing shared prosperity in a sustainable manner. CPFs lay out the main country development goals that WBG aims to help the country achieve, and propose a selective program of indicative WBG interventions for this purpose. More specific CPF objectives are derived from these country development goals. These are then used to monitor the program during the CPF cycle and evaluate it at the end. Performance and Learning Reviews (PLRs) are prepared mid-way through the CPF cycle. PLRs identify and capture lessons, and determine midcourse corrections in the CPF objectives and program of interventions.
The goal of GRP is to help communities in the Sahel, Horn of Africa, South Asia and South East Asia to better adapt to climatic shocks and thrive in a more resilient future. GRP brokers partnerships and investment opportunities between private, public and not-for-profit bodies around the globe and local communities in vulnerable communities.
