    established by the Oil and Gas Division of the World Bank,
    to promote the utilization of natural gas in Sub-Saharan
    Africa. The study focuses on coastal countries - Angola,
    Cameroon, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, and Gabon - along the

    Zambia

    Despite positive, relatively broad-based
    and stable growth record in recent years and immense
    untapped potential in agriculture, mining and services,
    Zambia's poverty rates have not declined significantly
    and remain high. Income growth is limited by coordination

    the region. This report describes some ways forest-friendly
    agricultural development can materialize in the Congo Basin.

    This paper explains the major issues and
    lessons derived from the national forest management program
    and REDD+ initiatives in Tanzania. It finds that addressing
    the most important drivers of forest degradation and
    deforestation, in particular the country energy needs and
    landownership, is essential for success in reducing
    emissions regardless of the type of program implemented. It
    also finds that, through the national program, forest users

    Burundi

    With limited land, capital, and a fast
    growing population, Burundi's main asset is its
    youthful population. Its main challenge is also to create
    good quality jobs for its youth. With low levels of
    educational attainment and poor health status, the quality
    of this young population is poor. After more than 13 years
    of conflict ending in 2000, and a period of modest recovery,
    Burundi has the opportunity to stimulate growth. Burundi is
