Liebenthal, Robert B.Fox, Louise M.2012-06-042012-06-042006978-0-8213-6322-5https://hdl.handle.net/10986/6954By all measures, poverty in Africa as a whole has increased and deepened. But in fact, Africa contains a number of undocumented success stories of poverty reduction. This book presents case studies of thirteen of these success stories, giving grounds for some real hope, and providing useful learning for all policymakers, governments, businesses, service providers, non-governmental organizations, and donors. Case studies are drawn from the experiences of Uganda, Rwanda, Senegal, Kenya, Botswana, Mauritania, Tanzania, Lesotho, Zambia, Malawi, South Africa, and Ghana.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO ASSETSACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESAGRICULTUREANNUAL CHANGEBANKRUPTCYBENCHMARKSCAPACITY-BUILDINGCAPITAL FLOWSCENTRALLY PLANNED ECONOMIESCLEAN WATERCOMMERCIAL BANKCOMMUNITY MANAGEMENTCONFLICTCOUNTRY CASEDEBTDEBT RELIEFDECLINE IN POVERTYDEPOSIT ACCOUNTSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDEVELOPING WORLDDEVELOPMENT AGENCYDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT PRACTITIONERSDEVELOPMENT PROJECTSDEVELOPMENT REPORTDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDOMESTIC MARKETSDOMESTIC SAVINGSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INTEGRATIONECONOMIC ORDERECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC POLICIESECONOMIC POLICYECONOMIC REFORMSECONOMIC RELATIONSECONOMIC STAGNATIONECONOMIC SYSTEMSECONOMICSEMPLOYMENTEQUITABLE ACCESSEXPORTSFARMERFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFORECASTSGDPGLOBAL CONDITIONSGLOBAL ECONOMYGNPGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTHEALTH CAREHEALTH SERVICESHIGH POVERTYHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORTSHUMAN RIGHTSINDUSTRIALIZATIONINFRASTRUCTURE PROVISIONINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVESTMENT CLIMATEKEYNESIAN ECONOMICSLIFE EXPECTANCYLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOW INTEREST RATESLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMICROFINANCENATIONAL ECONOMIESNATURAL RESOURCESNET EXPORTSPER CAPITA GROWTHPER CAPITA INCOMEPOLICY PACKAGEPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPOLITICAL STABILITYPOLITICAL SUPPORTPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR PEOPLEPOOR POLICIESPOOR RURAL GIRLSPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION PROGRAMSPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY PRODUCTSPRIVATIZATIONPRO-POORPRO-POOR CHANGESPROTECTIONISMPUBLIC EXPENDITUREREAL GDPREDUCED POVERTYREDUCING POVERTYRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRICH COUNTRIESRURAL AREASSAHARASANITATIONSOCIAL SERVICESSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTSUB-SAHARAN AFRICASUBSIDIARYTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETELECOMMUNICATIONSTRADE BARRIERSTRADE SHOCKSWARWATER USERSWELFARE SYSTEMWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONWTOWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/978-0-8213-6322-5
