David Drucker Files: Background

David Drucker, 1926-2012.

David’s deep and consistent concern as teacher and practitioner was to work from the bottom-up and not the top-down, as well as to recognise and strengthen the social element as fundamental to the success of any undertaking. Especially interested in work that was participatory in nature, Drucker’s writings are full of useful suggestions about how to involve local people at all levels of planning and implementation of a wide range of projects. He wrote more than 100 reports and academic articles (see below).

Between 1951 and 2001 he completed graduate studies at the London School of Economics, London and Columbia University, New York before working in social work and mental health in London and New Jersey. Following field studies in the Sudan and the Middle East he was Chairman in 1951-1952 of a panel for a UN Survey of Manpower in Social Welfare in the Philippines. After lecturing in social administration at the University College of Swansea, Wales from 1961 to 1970, Drucker undertook a consultancy for an ECAFE/UNICEF workshop on Social Work In-Service Training, held in Bangkok in 1970.

During the following 30 years he undertook dozens more consultancies for a remarkably wide range of UN bodies, including UNOTC, UNICEF, ESCAP, UNESCO, WHO, UNHCR, UNV, WFP and UNDP. As examples, from 1976 to 1978, as Social Scientist with the WHO South-East Asia Regional Office in New Delhi, he advised on the social implications of the Organization’s policies, programmes and projects. For the following 18 months he was Senior Project Officer for UNICEF in Myanmar (then Burma) supporting a major rural water supply project which required assistance in the preparation, field testing, implementation and analysis of a socio-economic baseline survey of 3,100 villages.

For four years from 1989 onwards Drucker undertook several missions for the UNDP’s UN Volunteers programme, evaluating its Domestic Development Service initiatives in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. In 1995, with some support from UNDP, he commenced work to build up a number of social welfare provisions in Kaunas, Lithuania as well as nationally, which he pursued on and off for several years with other support. In 2001 he was member of a Social Assessment Team for WFP in Kutch, Gujarat, India.
