Is Amartya Sen’s concept of ‘development as freedom’ correctly used by international development institutions? Define Sen’s concept and give at least one example of its policy implications.

This is an exam paper It should include an introduction (which contextualizes the questions and provides a thesis statement and plan outline), a first paragraph (explaining Amartya Sen`s concept), a second paragraph (critically explaining how the concept is interpreted by international institutions, please use the UN sustainable development goals report from 2020, the link is down below), and a third paragraph (how this interpretation affects policymaking, use the case study of Brazil found in the lecture pdf (link down below) and use the Frediani article), and a conclusion. As you can tell, the question requires analysis with arguments and sources, please be sure to include those. This should not simply be descriptive. The example of a policy implication is already provided in the lecture notes, it is a case study of a Brazilian favela that the World Bank wants to renovate. Essential ideas/arguments/concepts to include are provided in the lecture pdf (please do not limit yourself to the lecture, you are free to include your own arguments/ideas but concepts from the lecture are essential). The 5 sources that must be referenced/cited are provided as well (please read the sources and use them to support your own arguments/ideas). The lecture pdf is my own notes, they outline key concepts to include and talk a bit about two of the sources that I have attached.
