166.	Globalisation and Skills for Development in Rwanda and Tanzania
	Friday, August 25, 2006  by Admin
	This report is a result of a research project funded by DFID entitled Globalisation and Skills for Development in Rwanda and Tanzania: Implications for Education and Training Policy and Practice. The project was a collaborative effort between the Universities of Bristol, Bath, Dar es Salaam and the Kigali Institute of Education. The research design had embedded within it clear process goals to develop research capacity in a spirit of equal partnership. This synthesis report compares and contrasts the research findings from Rwanda and Tanzania. The overall aim of the research was to create a context-relevant knowledge base about the implications for education and training policy of globalisation in two low income sub-Saharan African countries. The research was conducted between March 2001 and April 2002.

	Thursday, August 10, 2006  by Admin
	Renewable energy technologies can play a major role in providing clean and improved energy services to the bulk of the population in Africa. Despite the benefits that renewables offer to countries in the region, the level of dissemination is still low.

This study recommends a number of policy options which can accelerate the development of cogeneration and geothermal in Tanzania.

172.	The Potential for Regionally Integrated Energy Development in Africa
	Friday, July 21, 2006  by Admin
	Efficient, cleaner energy forms are vital to Africa's development and fight against poverty yet the proportion of people still dependent on inefficient and polluting traditional energy sources is higher than any other continent. The traditional approach of constraining energy planning and development within national borders has exacerbated this problem. The World Energy Council is the leading global multi-energy organisation. It brings together the public and private sectors, research and development and academia. Its mission is to promote the sustainable supply and use of energy for the greatest benefit of all people through undertaking and disseminating research through its global network of energy specialists.

174.	A South-South survival strategy: the potential for trade among developing countries
	Thursday, July 13, 2006  by Admin
	This paper compares the potential effects of the removal of barriers on South- South trade with the gains from developed country liberalisation and from regional free trade areas within Africa, Asia and Latin America. This is in the context of increased trade between developing countries, or South-South trade, following significant reductions in tariff barriers. At the same time there is currently perceived to be reluctance in many developing countries to undertake further reductions, with a preference instead for focusing on opening up access to developed country markets, or maintaining the status quo given that multilateral liberalisation may result in the erosion of preferential access enjoyed by some developing countries.
