    Ethiopia

    The development plan of the Federal
    Government of Ethiopia emphasized low-cost energy supply as
    a prerequisite to the enhancement of industrial and economic
    development for the period 1984-1993. Current power planning
    studies have estimated Ethiopia's hydropower potential
    at 30,000 MW, which greatly exceeds foreseeable domestic
    demands. Presently, only 1 percent of the potential is
    utilized. The government has therefore initiated the

    Ethiopia

    This paper provides evidence from one of
    the poorest countries of the world that the property rights
    matter for efficiency, investment, and growth. With all land
    state-owned, the threat of land redistribution never appears
    far off the agenda. Land rental and leasing have been made
    legal, but transfer rights remain restricted and the
    perception of continuing tenure insecurity remains quite
    strong. Using a unique panel data set, this study

    Congo (DRC) in the west to Mozambique in the east. The
    miombo region covers an area of around 2.4 million km. In
    some areas, miombo has been highly degraded as a result of
    human use (southern Malawi and parts of Zimbabwe), while in
    others, it remains relatively intact (such as in parts of
    northern Mozambique, and in isolated areas of Angola and the

    Albania

    Reducing poverty continues to be one of
    the main priorities of the Government of Albania. Currently,
    Albania has an ample platform to provide social protection
    to its citizens through social insurance, social assistance
    and employment programs. However, these programs are not
    efficiently linked to each other, which can lead to unclear
    and occasionally overlapping roles among the programs. Among
    these social protection programs, Ndihma Ekonomike (NE) is
