    Popular concern about tropical deforestation largely drove the rapid growth in forestry assistance in recent years. Nevertheless, forestry assistance has had limited impact on forest clearing and much of it has gone to address other problems. To reduce inappropriate deforestation requires a combination of a multi-sectoral approach, greater regulation, and payment for environmental services. Aid officials have been partially unwilling and partially unable to adopt these approaches.

    Chaque année, 13 millions d’hectares de forêts sont perdus
    dans le monde, ce qui représente la superficie globale de
    l’Autriche et de la Suisse réunies. Cette déforestation touche
    à raison de 90 pour cent des forêts tropicales. La perte de
    forêts a des effets dévastateurs sur le climat et est la source
    de 15 % à 20 pour cent des émissions mondiales de gaz à
    effet de serre. Si l’on veut maintenir le réchauffement de la
    planète en-dessous du seuil critique de 2 °C, les pertes de
    forêts et la dégradation doivent être enrayées sans délai. En

    This is the sixth edition of the World
    Development Indicators in its current format, the 25th since
    the World Bank began publishing a comprehensive set of
    development indicators. It begins with a report on the
    Millennium Development Goals, which set specific, measurable
    targets for development in the early 21st century. To
    measure progress, results have to be measured and for that
    good statistics are needed. Most of the statistics in this

    This report provides recommendations on
    how to better manage ongoing changes in livestock
    development. First, it presents an overview of the main
    trends that can be expected to drive the sector over the
    next decades. Second it discusses the negative or positive
    social, environmental, and health repercussions of those
    trends, and the institutional, policy, and technical
    requirements needed to manage them. It concludes with a

    Four years have passed since the
    Millennium Development Goals sharpened the focus on
    measuring the results of development-not the number of
    projects undertaken or the dollars spent, but the
    improvements in people's lives. The emphasis on
    quantitative targets and the requirement for monitoring
    progress on country poverty reduction strategies have
    increased the demand for statistics. And that showed us how

    This policy note, Environmental
    Management for a Sustainable Economic Development Strategy
    for Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, investigates six environmental
    management topics which will affect the capacity of the
    province to develop the economy and need to be underpinned
    by strong environmental and natural resource management. The
    six topics cover: agriculture, forestry, fisheries, land and
    water, environmental law and regulations, and spatial

    The consensus among scholars and
    policymakers that "institutions matter" for
    development has led inexorably to a conclusion that
    "history matters," since institutions clearly form
    and evolve over time. Unfortunately, however, the next
    logical step has not yet been taken, which is to recognize
    that historians (and not only economic historians) might
    also have useful and distinctive insights to offer. This

    In Africa, most development strategies
    include efforts to improve the productivity of staple crops
    grown on smallholder farms. An underlying premise is that
    small farms are productive in the African context and that
    smallholders do not forgo economies of scale -- a premise
    supported by the often observed phenomenon that staple
    cereal yields decline as the scale of production increases.
    This paper explores a research design conundrum that
