406.	Electricity Sector Reform In Developing Countries: Implications for Renewable Energy
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Developing countries need swelling quantities of electricity to power their emerging economies and serve growing populations. Escalating energy use will further strain the global climate by boosting carbon emissions, and it will degrade air quality, already ominously poor in many areas. Increased energy efficiency and emission controls alone cannot quell energy-linked pollution.

	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	In this discussion note we will identify and focus on some of the major policy issues confronting Tanzania today as the country aims at achieving a substantial reduction in the overall level of poverty in the next decades. The purpose is not to review in detail trends and policies of the past, since these are covered in many other publications. We will rather confront the ambiguities and uncertainties in existing knowledge, as well as the policy choices and trade-offs that have to be made in the near future.

	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Privatisation of public services has led to increased poverty in many developing countries. Yet even with the increasing evidence of the damage caused by such privatisations, developing country governments continue to come under intense pressure to commit their public services to privatisation – often as a condition of receiving development assistance, loans or debt relief from international financial institutions and donor governments.

Mobile pastoralists, consisting of nomads and transhumants, area large and significant minority in many countries around the world.

	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	In the dichotomous world of centre periphery theories, rural development, urban bias and rural urban linkages, the small and intermediate urban centres (SIUC) tend to disappear. Urban studies have tended to focus on the capital or other large cities, whilst rural development projects often do not even mention the small rural towns or regional centres where the project administration and the services on which the rural areas depend are mostly located.
415.	OECD Global Forum on Knowledge Economy ICT in PRSPs
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Information and Communication Technology (ICT) should be seen as a means to help meet existing development objectives, in particular the Millennium Development Goals for poverty reduction, education, health and the environment, not as a separate sector or end in itself.

418.	Achieving the Millennium Development Goals: Rural Investment and Enabling Policy
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are the most broadly supported, comprehensive and specific poverty-reduction targets the world has ever established, and the year 2005 is critical in that there are only ten years left to achieve these goals. Results so far have been mixed: significant achievements in some parts of the world, particularly in eastern Asia, but very limited achievements in others, where vulnerability to natural and man-made disasters and the silent tsunami of hunger and disease continue to claim millions of lives every year.

	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	The MDGs are meant to be achieved globally by 2015 or before. But this will not happen for most of the poorest countries, particularly those in SSA, which are seriously off-track, unless the international community and the countries themselves engage in significant additional efforts.2 What it will take to achieve the MDGs in a sustainable manner through domestic transformation is the main concern of this report.
420.	Creating a Development Dynamic Final Report of the Digital Opportunity Initiative
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Despite many steps forward in social and economic conditions around the world in recent decades, there remain huge disparities in the quality of human existence. We are now at a critical juncture. Unprecedented global flows in information, products, people, capital and ideas offer great potential for radical improvements in human development, but left unabated, they may also serve to worsen and entrench the spiral of poverty which already exists in many communities and countries.
