Farewell editorial
After nearly six years as editor of Enterprise Development and Microfinance, I am stepping down from this position at the end of 2020. I took the reins of EDM in May 2015 from Clare Tawney at Practical Action Publishing who, in addition to her various other activities at the company, had been serving as EDM’s interim editor. In 2015, I was fairly new in my position as a researcher in the CGIAR and was inexperienced in running a journal. Clare took a chance with me, and I remain grateful for the opportunity. From a personal perspective, I was excited about the opportunity that EDM offered to help shape discussions on how to make market-oriented development processes more responsive to the needs of local stakeholders, more efficient and sustainable, and ultimately, more impactful. Over the recent years I’ve learned a great deal about managing a journal, experiences which I have applied in my work in the CGIAR and which will no doubt be useful wherever I go next. I would like to warmly welcome Linda Jones, PhD, of Cowater International, who will be replacing me as editor as of January 2021.
