	PRSPs and Donor Country Strategies: Do they add up to effective aid. Analysis of the role of PRSPs in four CIDA - core countries in Africa. The quest for poverty reduction strategies that effectively change the daily lives of the poor is a daunting but urgent task. Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) were introduced by the World Bank as a vehicle to help accomplish this mission. Many donors, including the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), have agreed to coordinate their aid through the PRSP to prevent financing gaps and maximize efficiency.

	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Two years after the collapse of WTO talks in Seattle, governments agreed to launch a round of trade negotiations at the November 2001 WTO Ministerial conference in Doha. A central theme of the round was supposed to be making the trade system fairer for developing countries. However, two years later, in the run up to the WTOs fifth Ministerial Conference in Cancun, the prospect for such an outcome looks bleak.

397.	Rural poverty, Decentralisation and development
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Poverty continues to permeate rural areas in many developing countries. This situation arises from inappropriate public policies and ill designed programs and projects which have both served to impoverish rural communities. For this initiatives aimed at bringing a transformation of the rural standards of living have not had the desired impact on rural poverty reduction. As part of the problem trade and fiscal policies have often discriminated against agriculture.

401.	Policy Recommendations to Donors: Ahead of the G8 Summit 2005
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	When the G8 and other donors make rhetorical commitments to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) without providing the resources, policies and reforms to achieve them, they open themselves to the charge of grave political cynicism at the expense of the world’s poor. Many low-income countries will miss the MDG targets. The year 2005 marks the last best chance for the rich world to honour its commitments to reduce poverty internationally by helping to achieve the MDGs.

	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Hunger is actually the worst of all weapons of mass destruction, claiming millions of victims every year. Fighting hunger and poverty and promoting development are the truly sustainable way to achieve world peace….There will be no peace without development, and there will be neither peace nor development without social justice. International aid is one of the most powerful weapons in the war against poverty. Today, that weapon is underused and badly targeted.

404.	Making agriculture impact on poverty in Tanzania: the case on non-traditional export crops
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Making agriculture impact on poverty in Tanzania: the case on non-traditional export crops - Given the predominant role of agriculture in the livelihoods of most Tanzanians, any strategy for slashing poverty and hunger in the country must center on rapid growth in the agricultural sector. Farmers clearly need the government to make investments aimed at increasing agricultural productivity. But these investments could depress commodity prices and farm incomes if they are not linked to market opportunities for farmers.
