    Nicaragua

    Nicaragua is a small, open economy that
    is vulnerable to external and natural shocks. With an
    estimated Gross National Income (GNI) per capita of US$1000
    in 2006, and a total population of 5.2 million, it is one of
    the poorest countries in Latin America. Forty six percent of
    the population lived below the poverty line in 2005 (while

    Mozambique

    Mozambique's continuous efforts to

    constraints including its economic and political history,
    and its geography and climatic conditions. It is widely
    accepted that future economic growth of the country will
    continue to rely on its natural resources base and,
    specifically, on sustainable use of land and water
    resources. Mozambique has plentiful land and water resources

    Kosovo

    Poverty in Kosovo is widespread and has
    remained persistent in the first half of this decade. The
    evidence suggests that poverty is higher among those who
    live in families that are large, have many unemployed
    members, and have low education levels. The poor are also
    geographically concentrated in rural areas and a few
    regions. The main message of this report is that the slow
    and volatile growth was doubly disadvantageous. The first

    water by surface or subsurface flow to a drainage system or
    body of water. Watersheds vary from a few hectares to
    thousands of square kilometers. Watershed management (WSM)

    specific drainage area with the objective of conserving
    hydrologic services and reducing or avoiding damage
    downstream or underground. The first generation of WSM

    The major objective of the study was to
    come up with illustrative success stories as well as
    failures to give lessons on ICT interventions in the area of
    rural livelihoods and their impact in Tanzania. The key
    issues addressed in this study were: 1) common ICTs used by
    the rural poor in Tanzania; 2) which ICTs are regarded as
    attractive by different groups and why; 3) the use of ICTs
    by different age cohorts as part of their livelihoods

    The workshop brings diverse perspectives
    from outside the World Bank, providing a forum in which to

    Berlin Workshop gathered to discuss challenges and successes
    pertaining to agriculture and development. Agriculture is
    the major sector contributing to economic development in
    many poor countries. Three out of every four poor people in
