Adaptive Social Protection in Rwanda
Rwanda has a high rate of rural poverty, population density and pressures on its natural resource base. One government response has been a social protection intervention, the Vision 2020 Umurenge Programme (VUP). VUP provides ‘public works’ employment for members of extremely poor households with able-bodied members, and ‘direct support’ cash transfers for poor households without members who can work. Many public works projects focus on environme…

Using an Asset-Based Approach to Identify Drivers of Sustainable Rural Growth and Poverty Reduction in Central America
Major economic, political and social changes have taken place in Central America over the past decade. These changes have led to improvements in well-being and reductions in rural poverty rates, but the region is still characterized by persistent and stark inequalities in assets and incomes and high numbers of poor persons in rural areas. This inequality is most evident in terms of landholdings, but other key productive, social and locational ass…

Portfolio models and planning for export diversification
Evidence is presented regarding strengths and limitations of portfolio approaches as applied to diversifying export earnings. An empirical application using data from Malawi, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe is used to demonstrate these strengths and limitations. Modifications of the typical portfolio approach to export diversification are presented; these modifications help make the approach more plausible for use in developing countries. The modified app…
The interaction of stressors in the induction of increased levels of fluctuating asymmetry in the laboratory rat
Recent studies on fluctuating dental asymmetry have isolated single stressors as causative agents. Since most stressors are composite in nature, the present study was designed to determine the effects of the interaction of stressors in the induction of fluctuating dental asymmetry. Pregnant rats were assigned to one of six treatment groups and stressed with various combinations of heat, cold, noise and protein deprivation. The levels of fluctuati…
