André Leliveld (ASCL) and Peter Knorringa (ISS) are guest editors of a special issue of The European Journal of Development Research on why frugal innovations are increasingly important for development research. While the top-down business and management literature on frugal innovation has claimed developmental relevance, the editors in their introduction give at least equal importance to much longer-standing bottom-up development studies discourses on grass-root innovation, bricolage, and livelihood strategies. Leliveld and Knorringa are (co-)directors of the Centre for Frugal Innovation in Africa.
