The Report also includes a statistical annex with country and regional data derived from the WHO Mortality and Morbidity Database and a list of resources for violence prevention.

UNCTAD publications ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA PERFORMANCE, PROSPECTS AND POLICY ISSUES (UNCTAD-GDS-AFRICA-2) This year’s report reviews the policy content of the poverty reduction programmes in Africa and analyses the extent to which the new poverty focus of the Bretton Woods institutions differs fundamentally from the structural adjustment programmes which have been applied in the past 20 years. Issues of country ownership and participation, conditionality, macroeconomic policy measures and the new emphasis on primary health care and education and governance are discussed. The report draws a number of policy conclusions with a view to ensuring that both national and international policies are conducive to growth and poverty alleviation on the continent.
