    December, 2008
    Rwanda, Africa

    This paper analyzes the role of the leadership in the economic growth in Rwanda, a country that was seriously affected by civil war and the 1994 genocide. It appears that the will and the clear vision of the leadership in Rwanda were one of the central pillars of the very good economic and social performances in Rwanda. This is particularly important because the country has almost no natural resources and the economy and its fundamentals were completely destroyed by the 1994 genocide.

    Uganda

    This Agriculture Public Expenditure
    Review (AgPER) comprehensively reviews public expenditures
    on agriculture in Uganda and analyzes their efficiency and
    effectiveness. Its genesis lies in Agriculture Sector
    Working Group (A-SWG) discussions, especially during the
    budget process, which raised concerns about the seemingly
    low budget allocations to the sector and the failure to
    align limited resources with recognized priorities in the

    Although charcoal is the single most
    important energy source for millions of urban dwellers in
    Tanzania, being used by all tiers of society from laborers
    to politicians, it seems to be politically neglected and
    even unwanted, given that it is not considered as a possible
    mean to achieve long-term sustainable development, for
    example as a low-carbon growth option contributing to energy
    security, sustainable forest management, and poverty

    Zambia

    From 2004 to 2012, Zambia experienced a
    combination of good economic policies and high rates of
    growth not seen since the early years after its
    independence. While growth was mainly driven by rising
    copper prices, other factors contributed to Zambia’s ability
    to take advantage of this growth. The international debt
    relief programs in 2004-2005 almost eliminated public debt
    and provided the fiscal space for selective, high-priority
