421.	International trends and forces in agricultural development and their implication for rural Tanzania
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	The current trends and forces in international development and how these are played out at the rural level in Tanzania especially as it relates to the role of agriculture. Indeed the impact of international trends on rural development is a subject of great interest and importance not only to Tanzania, but also to the entire African Continent where the majorities of our people live in rural areas and depend on agriculture for their livelihood.
422.	Migration in the development studies literature: has it come out of marginality
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	About ten years ago, many people including myself argued that migration, particularly for labour, was receiving insufficient attention in the development studies literature, and in policy making.1 Much has changed since, with increasing research particularly on international migration (some of it driven by security concerns), a growing number of research and teaching centres and conference that focus often entirely on migration, and at least in the development agencies that
423.	Poverty reduction strategy and participatory public expenditure review per: a note
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	To have a comprehensive understanding as to where we are today and the rationale for adopting the PRSP approach requires a thorough review of the efforts and struggles the country has gone through over the years, taking note of the achievements and acknowledging challenges still ahead of us. Just to recall that Tanzanias struggle against poverty has a long history spanning from the time of independence in 1961.
424.	Organic Agriculture and Sustainable Rural Livelihoods in Developing Countries
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	This study was prepared as one component of a wider review by the Department for International Development to examine the contribution ethical trade initiatives can make towards the goal of sustainable rural livelihoods.

425.	Partnerships for poverty reduction: rethinking conditionality
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Evidence and experience have challenged traditional approaches to conditionality (where donors make their aid conditional on the pursuit of particular policies in the partner country). This paper sets out a significantly new approach to building a successful partnership for poverty reduction, focussing on poverty outcomes rather than specific policy conditions.
426.	What does it mean for development - WTO
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Two issues in particular alienated the developing countries: the insistence, by the European Union and a handful of others, on adoption of the Singapore Issues in the face of overwhelming opposition from the developing countries, and the US refusal to tackle the problem of its cotton subsidies. Some important progress was made on agriculture, but this was lost in the ensuing collapse. This political clash was exacerbated by severe problems of process.
427.	Business solutions in support of the Millennium Development Goals
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	WBCSD Focus Area: Development - Poverty remains one of the biggest challenges to sustainable development. The way businesses respond to this challenge, and their ability to generate wealth and opportunities, will prove crucial in the long-term. As a group of leading companies, WBCSD members work within a new mindset, beyond corporate philanthropy, to build inclusive business models that create new revenue streams whilst serving the needs of the poor through sound commercial operations.
428.	Liquidity Constraints, Access to Credit and Pro-Poor Growth in Rural Tanzania
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Small-scale farmers in developing countries may become trapped in poverty by lack of the liquidity needed to make profitable investments. Increased access to credit could generate propoor economic growth if poor households are otherwise liquidity-constrained and if liquidity constrained households benefit from the new financial services. Using household data from rural Tanzania, this paper presents evidence that increased finance for liquidity-constrained households could generate pro-poor growth,
429.	Partnerships for fighting rural poverty Africa steps up campaign against the tsetse fly
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Programmes to cut poverty are at the centre of national and international policy agendas. In its 24th special session in Geneva in 2000, the UN General Assembly expressed the world commitment to reduce the proportion of people living in extreme poverty by one half by the year 2015 with a view to eradicating poverty. Several mechanisms and frameworks are being utilized and new initiatives explored with a view to promote and implement pro-poor policies and strategies, with emphasis on the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), particularly the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPCs).

Operations commenced in February 1989 as part of cooperation in the development assistance area between the five Nordic countries-Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.

431.	Factors shaping successful public private partnership in the ICT sector in developing countries - the case of Tanzania
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Information technology came to Tanzania as early as 1956 when the Public Works Department under the British Administration introduced the Hand-Punch input device for computer cards (Sawe, 1999). It was used to capture data for processing elsewhere. In 1965, the country’s first full scale computer processing facility was installed at the Ministry of Finance. This was an ICT Hollerith 1500 (later renamed ICL-1500).

433.	ODA policy and priorities
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Australias ODA policy is driven by humanitarian concerns towards its neighbours. The policy is to advance Australias national interest by assisting developing countries to reduce poverty and achieve sustainable development. The current aid programme, objectives and priorities were set in the 1997 policy document Better Aid for a Better Future (November 1997).
434.	Agricultural trade, globalisation, and the rural poor
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	In this short paper, I want to reflect on some of the problems associated with emerging trends in agricultural trade under globalisation, and to suggest some public policy actions that might help to resolve them. As in other areas, globalisation in agricultural trade has been marked by continuity in the midst of revolutionary change. Old problems have taken on new, more complex forms. And failure to address old policy challenges has left the rural poor facing the imminent threat of accelerated marginalisation.
435.	Report on Expert Group Meeting - Effectiveness of External Assistance: Focus on Africa
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Aid to Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has fallen substantially since the early 1990s. Net ODA disbursements have fallen steadily as a share of DAC GDP, and in 2000 stood at 0.22 percent, their lowest point since data began to be collected systematically in the mid 1960s. Figure 1 shows the situation for the 48 countries of SSA through 1999. During the 1990s, aid to SSA fell by 45 percent, whether measured in real terms or relative to regional GNP.
