If the ‘evidence base’ tells us anything Duncan, these are going to be hard words to live by for many, many colleagues…
I found this – may be the origin

Thanks for posting the Sidekick Manifesto Duncan! I am a huge fan. And, I am also the author of the Sidekick Manifesto. – shawn (@blucollarprof)
good to know Shawn – great job!
Certainly easier to engage with this version of a #globaldev super hero than the UN’s Wonder Woman 😉 .
I’m in! Love it.
Love this – but applicable to just about all areas of development it seems to me, not just economic development! These kinds of principles seem particularly ideal to address some of the issues you raised in your recent post about professional advocacy (http://oxfamblogs.org/fp2p/is-advocacy-becoming-too-professional-a-conversation-with-world-vision-and-save-the-children/). Can we re-write it as an international development advocacy manifesto as well? 😉
