ABSTRACT Patching Development' is a theory of change, and more specifically a theory of what leads to change in anti-poverty schemes whose enactment conditions the lives of millions of people. A software-inspired terminology, a contribution to literatures that go from public policy to information and communication technology for development (ICT4D), but first of all a concept that constructs a new theory of change: this is Veeraraghavan’s book, and these are just some of the many theoretical facets that the reader encounters. With many identities combined in one, laboriously-built ethnographic text, the reader turns the final page having gained a theoretical account positioned to shape the history of social protection in development studies.
