    Myanmar

    ... In 2014, Myanmar(Burma)confounded industry analysts by emerging to become the World's third biggest tin producer, experiencing a 5-year tin production increase of ca.4900%. This surprise emergence of Myanmar as a major tin producer is a possible Black Swan event that potentially has significant re-percussions both for the future of global tin production, and for the economic development of Myanmar. This is a disruptive event that has likely contributed to a substantial drop in tin prices in 2015. The

    Mali, Africa

    This study discusses the impact of economic geography and (low) population density on development outcomes in Mali and explores how policies to reduce poverty can be made more effective by taking these two factors into account. The crisis in north Mali which started in 2012 and continues to date has brought questions of economic geography to the center of attention.

    This study aims to achieve a better understanding of the agricultural risk and risk management situation in Tanzania with a view to identifying key solutions to reduce current gross domestic product (GDP) growth volatility.

    This note describes the trends in, and
    composition of, absolute poverty based on household
    expenditures, and is thus concerned, as a matter of policy
    objectives, with access of the population to a particular
    minimum standard of living. This should be viewed as
    complementary to the companion note on social exclusion
    based on Europe 2020 indicators including the relative
    at-risk-of-poverty (AROP) rate, focuses on low income in

    Rwanda

    The last poverty assessment for Rwanda
    was conducted in 1997. Three years after the genocide, the
    country was characterized by deep and widespread poverty,
    rock-bottom health indicators, and pervasive hunger and food
    insecurity. In real terms, gross domestic product (GDP) per
    capita was lower than it had been in 1960. In real terms,
    the economy quadrupled between 1995 and 2013. Enrolment in
    primary school is near universal and infant and child

    Mali

    This document presents the Systematic
    Country Diagnosis (SCD) for Mali. The SCD was prepared
    following a consultative process within and outside the
    World Bank. It identifies constraints and opportunities for
    achieving the twin goals of ending poverty and improving
    shared prosperity by 2030 while acknowledging (i) the need
    for selectivity in pro-poor interventions, and (ii) the many
    competing ‘binding’ reasons for poverty in Mali. The

    Tanzania

    Since the early 2000s, Tanzania has seen
    remarkable economic growth and strong resilience to external
    shocks. Yet these achievements were overshadowed by the slow
    response of poverty to the growing economy. Until 2007, the
    poverty rate in Tanzania remained stagnant at around 34
    percent despite a robust growth at an annualized rate of
    approximately 7 percent. This apparent disconnect between
    growth and poverty reduction has raised concerns among
