496.	ILO: Decent Work and Poverty Reduction Strategies
	Tuesday, October 11, 2005  by Admin
	ILO: Decent Work and Poverty Reduction Strategies The ILO’s work on poverty reduction generally, and the PRS process specifically, is grounded in social justice and the twin concepts of entitlements and equity. The starting point is the fact that work is the main, often the only, way for poor people to get and stay out of poverty. This approach, based on the principles of social justice, can be expressed as a right to inclusion, protection, and access to decent work and decent incomes.

	Tuesday, October 11, 2005  by Admin
	Is the PRGF living to its Expectations in Africa? The Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) is the IMFs low-interest lending facility which was established in September 1999 to make the objectives of poverty reduction and growth more central to lending operations for the world’s poorest countries. PRGF-supported programs emphasise broad public participation and greater country ownership of development programs which reflect each countrys poverty reduction and growth priorities.

	Tuesday, October 11, 2005  by Admin
	Report of a Study on Measuring the Compliance Costs of Taxation: The main objective of this study is to analyze the nature of compliance costs of traditional excise duties in Tanzania. The study also attempts to apply the findings of the research to measure the costs incurred by taxpayers in relation to the main excisable products in 1995-96. This is the first study on the compliance cost of excise duty in less developed countries, and particularly those in Africa.

500.	The Poor need Greater Control of Own Destiny
	Tuesday, October 11, 2005  by Admin
	The Poor need Greater Control of Own Destiny: When the North abandoned all forms of barbaric colonialism which revolved around the revolver and looting of resources, their quest to maintain resource flows from the South to the North did not end. A more humane way of ensuring a continuous inflow of resources to the colonial masters had to be found and adopted rather urgently.

	Trade and Debt: Africas experience - This paper is a contribution to the numerous discussions on Trade and Debt showing the intrinsic link between them and implications for Africas development if and when there is a trade off between them. Africas debt crisis is very complex although the persistence of this crisis is no longer being questioned.
502.	Does General Budget Support Work: Evidence from Tanzania
	Tuesday, October 11, 2005  by Admin
	Does General Budget Support Work? Evidence from Tanzania: In Tanzania, General Budget Support is provided by 14 donors and together with HIPC relief contributes 20% of public expenditure. Despite this, however, GBS is not yet a dominant aid modality. The immediate effects of the GBS programme have been strongly positive, but its role has been to facilitate a nationally-driven reform process; domestic revenues have grown even faster than aid.
503.	Tanzania Evaluation Report: International Fund for Agricultural Development
	Tuesday, October 11, 2005  by Admin
	Tanzania Evaluation Report: International Fund for Agricultural Development - In the last decade, IFAD has pursued two different strategies in Tanzania, which are captured in the 1993 Country Strategy Report (CSR) and the 1998 COSOP. The former strategy targeted the poorest in marginal areas, supporting agricultural interventions that would enhance production and also respond to the social needs of the rural poor, for example in terms of providing drinking water and health services.
504.	Making loans work for the poor: The case of Tanzania
	Tuesday, October 11, 2005  by Admin
	Making loans work for the poor: The case of Tanzania: Tanzania is one of the worlds severely indebted poor countries. Without debt cancellation, the country will at least for the years ahead continue paying more in debt service than on health and education. According to the World Bank, Tanzania will have an unsustainable debt burden until at least 2007. The economy is heavily dependent on agriculture, which accounts for more than half of GDP, provides 85% of exports,
505.	Sustaining the Environment to Fight Poverty and Achieve the MDGs
	Tuesday, October 11, 2005  by Admin
	Sustaining the Environment to Fight Poverty and Achieve the MDGs: THE ECONOMIC CASE AND PRIORITIES FOR ACTION - An historic opportunity—the eradication of poverty—is within reach of the 2005 World Summit. However, a critical barrier persists: progress on eliminating poverty will only be possible with expanded, more effectively targeted investments in environmental management as a means of achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
506.	Do PRSPs empower poor countries and disempower the World Bank
	Tuesday, October 11, 2005  by Admin
	Do PRSPs empower poor countries and disempower the World Bank, or is it the other way round? Policy reforms imposed on developing countries through conditionality have greatly weakened the autonomy of recipient countries. The vast majority of poor countries in Africa, and many in Latin America and Asia, have been subject to a series of IMF and World Bank adjustment packages, especially over the last twenty years. These reforms cover all the major economic decisions
507.	African Civil Societys Statement on Recent Debt Cancellation Proposals
	Tuesday, October 11, 2005  by Admin
	African Civil Societys Statement on Recent Debt Cancellation Proposals: Almost nine years after it was launched in 1996, the Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC)Initiative has failed to provide low income countries a permanent and robust exit from indebtedness. Although the HIPC has delivered more than $48 billion in debt cancellation, no participating country has achieved debt sustainability.
508.	Sheffield Economic Research Paper Series: Budget support, conditionality and poverty2005
	Tuesday, October 11, 2005  by Admin
	Sheffield Economic Research Paper Series: Budget support, conditionality and poverty2005 - This paper examines the effectiveness of budget support aid as an anti-poverty instrument. We argue that a major determinant of this effectiveness is the element of trust – or social capital, as it may be seen – which builds up between representatives of the donor and recipient.
509.	If not now, when: Urgent recommendations on debt cancellation for a strong and prosperous Africa
	Tuesday, October 11, 2005  by Admin
	If not now, when? - Urgent recommendations on debt cancellation for a strong and prosperous Africa: This report is published at a critical moment in the history of international efforts to combat global poverty. The avoidable deaths of 30,000 people every day should always be an incentive to action. But 2005 offers unique opportunities for progress that must be grasped. Britain.s hosting of the G8 prompted Prime Minister Tony Blair to establish the Commission for Africa, to whom this report is addressed.
510.	Towards sustainable development in the Southern African Development Community (SADC)
	Tuesday, October 11, 2005  by Admin
	Towards sustainable development in the Southern African Development Community (SADC)- Sustainable development has become one of the most popular concepts in the evolution of ideas about managing the environment. Most of the definitions for sustainable development basically refer to development activities that do not deplete non-renewable resources at a rate that jeopardizes the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
