Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation after armed conflict is a direct intellectual descendant of thinking about rehabilitation after natural calamity. It is related, generally, to poverty reduction and, operationally, to associated action at the micro level. This history has limited its strategic conceptualisation and, in particular, its links with reconciliation and state re-legitimation and also with macro-economic stabilisation and renewed growth. In post-war - or …
Khatt& the realities of Somalis
This article presents a brief review of khatt ; a macro analysis of its roles in the Republic of Somaliland; briefer sketches of divergences of roles in other Somali heartland territories and Kenya concluding with a speculative section on what might be desirable (for Somalis) ways forward. All of these topics are bedevilled by limited prior research, the special pleading strands in much writing, the difficulty in knowing of or securing much of wh…
Rehabilitation, sustainable peace and development
Rehabilitation after violent conflict is today relevant to many countries - especially but not only in SSA - and hopefully will become so for more. It is in generally too narrowly specified, too short term and too fragmented with no macro strategic or conceptual frame. Further it is usually based on quite inadequate knowledge of the history, priorities and dynamics of the afflicted country. Rehabilitation has-or should have-interacting economic (…
From Survival to Livelihood in Mozambique
Rehabilitation is an unserviced limbo in development. The paper provides a programme checklist, reviews the obstacles to rehabilitation and proposes an approach of ‘iterative flexibility’. In Mozambique, over half the population was forced out of production by war and drought, most as refugees or as internally displaced. There have been some successes, but the attempt to have a programme in being to meet and support ‘retornados’ has largely faile…
Production by Poor People
Almost one third of all sub?Saharan Africans are absolutely poor. That proportion is rising whereas in the only comparable case ? South Asia ? it is falling. Absolute poverty damages a polity and a society ? not only those who are themselves poor. It is also economically costly. Linkage and macroeconomic as well as household livelihood considerations mean that investing in enabling poor people to produce more is likely to be relatively high payof…
Public Finance
National budgets in SSA have major impacts on macro, sectoral and micro economic results simply by being very large relative to total demand and also to supply of most human investment services and of infrastructure. Together with programming for specific policy goals (including balance, redistribution, non?inflationary finance of necessary expenditure), these automatic impacts are more likely to be positive if analysed and specifically taken int…
The political economy of drought in Southern Africa 1991–1993
Drought by itself does not lead to famine. That requires severe economic weakness, very poor national and/or external response and/or war. In practice, mass starvation does not happen in Africa in the absence of war. However, the degree of hunger and, perhaps even more, the speed of affected household livelihood recovery depend heavily on domestic and international strategic responses. The present standard donor political economy of response to c…

Structural Adjustment and National Environmental Strategies
Structural adjustment is important. Increasingly it is perceived as an approach to prioritisation, coherence testing, resource mobilisation and allocation, stabilisation and growth within a context of market force managed production bolstered by state provision of basic services, infrastructure and an enabling climate for individual, community and enterprise initiatives

Brady and the Philippines
Reginald Green's paper examines the Philippines deal in the context of the Brady Plan, emphasising that debt reduction in the Philippines package — though positive in itself — needs to be assessed against the financing gap, with ‘new money’ inadequate to cover the gap.

Strategic Adjustment and Stabilisation in a Hydrocarbon Exporter
Algeria has carried out a nationally instituted strategic adjustment and a short term stabilisation exercise — in that order. While it has adopted a pro?agricultural incentives policy (with positive results), partial liberalisation of prices, a broader private sector role, it has done so within the framework of a centrally planned economy committed to very high levels of capital formation. Its 1986–87 stabilisation policy (with no application to …
Ghana
Ghana is cited by advocates as the key case of successful\nadjustment, and by critics as adjustment with an inhuman face.\nBoth views are reductionist and fail to take on board the 1890-1982\nhistorical context. Ghana’s stabilisation effort, begun in 1982, was\naltered to secure Fund/Bank backing in 1983. The added resource\ninflows, the end of drought and the policy change have resulted in\nsignificant macroeconomic recovery. The sustainability …

UNCTAD has sought to fulfil four roles in respect of monetary and financial issues: as forum for dialogue and negotiation, honest broker, promoter of concepts and approaches, and source of technical assistance. Results have been distinctly uneven, partly because of occasional incompatibilities between the different roles. UNCTAD's technical assistance has been the most important and successful part of its work and its technical assistance role de…

Brandt on an end to poverty and hunger
The Brandt Commission (ICIDI) clearly saw hunger as an important enemy and food as an important input into development. That perhaps is not very unusual, but what is unusual is the interweaving of hunger and food into other major sections. The formal charter on 'Hunger and Food'3 covers fifteen pages but further references appear in at least ten other parts I of Programme For Survival totalling thirty-seven additional pages for a total of fifty-t…
