Understanding public support for Canadian aid to developing countries
Are market‐based solutions a viable strategy for addressing micronutrient deficiency? Lessons from case studies in sub‐Saharan Africa and South Asia
The Development Impacts of Covid-19 at Home and Abroad
In Ingos we trust? How individual determinants and the framing of Ingos influences public trust
Recent scandals in the media have questioned the legitimacy of and public trust in international NGOs (INGOs). Yet, little research has explored the complex relationships that influence public trust in INGOs. This article addresses this knowledge gap by analysing data from an experimental survey of English-speaking Canadian residents to explore how trust varies based on the different ways INGOs are framed and the individual determinants that infl…
Business-Based Strategies for Improved Nutrition
There is increasing interest in the role that businesses can play in promoting the consumption of nutrient-dense foods as part of strategies to reduce the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries. To date, however, there has been little in-depth analysis of the extent to which viable business opportunities exist for nutrient-dense foods in the context of markets catering to communities. Furthermore, whether businesses can …
Assessing food value chain pathways, linkages and impacts for better nutrition of vulnerable groups
This article offers insights into assessing the effectiveness of post farm-gate agri-food value chains at improving the nutrition intake of vulnerable groups. It develops a conceptual framework integrating the value chain concepts with agriculture and nutrition, and identifies key outcomes and requirements for value chains to be successful at delivering substantive and sustained consumption of nutrient-dense foods by poor households. Other framew…
Innovation in regulation of rapidly changing health markets
The rapid evolution and spread of health markets across low and middle-income countries (LMICs) has contributed to a significant increase in the availability of health-related goods and services around the world. The support institutions needed to regulate these markets have lagged behind, with regulatory systems that are weak and under-resourced. This paper explores the key issues associated with regulation of health markets in LMICs, and the di…

Reimagining Development in the UK? Findings from the UK Public Opinion Monitor
The UK Public Opinion Monitor (UKPOM) provides a unique opportunity to explore changes in attitudes of the UK public over time. This article presents findings from the UKPOM on how people in the UK have experienced the financial crisis and how, if at all, this has caused them to think differently about aid and development. We find that respondents had been affected by the economic crisis and were worried about the impact on their own finances and…
Understanding the Complexities of Private Standards in Global Agri-Food Chains as They Impact Developing Countries
The increasing prevalence of private standards governing food safety, food quality and environmental and social impacts of agri-food systems has raised concerns about the effects on developing countries, as well as the governance of agri-food value chains more broadly. It is argued that current debates have been 'clouded' by a failure to recognise the diversity of private standards in terms of their institutional form, who develops and adopts the…
Rethinking localization--a low-income country perspective
There are few studies that consider the localization/relocalization of food systems in low-income countries and how the social, cultural and economic dynamics of these agri-food systems compare to trends observed in high-income countries. We suggest that food systems in Ghana are localized by necessity when compared to relocalized food systems observed in high-income countries that have emerged in response to global agri-food industrialization. F…

Proactive fast-tracking' diffusion of supermarkets in developing countries
Supermarkets have spread extremely rapidly in developing countries after the ‘take-off ’ in the early to mid-1990s. Former analyses of supermarket diffusion have not adequately explained the sudden burst and then exponential diffusion of supermarkets in the late-1990s and early-2000s. We argue that rather than taking demand and market institutional and organizational conditions as “exogenous”, as former analyses have tended to do, modern food ret…
Public perceptions of drinking water
Although respondents rated their water quality highly, the majority had concerns regarding the water from their private supply, and the use of bottled water and water treatment devices was extensive. The results of this study suggest important lines of inquiry and provide support and input for public education programs, particularly those related to private water testing, in this population

Barriers to Agricultural Exports from Developing Countries
Jamaica’s Trade in Ethnic Foods and Other Niche Products
Many of Jamaica's nontraditional agro-food exports face a broad range of competitiveness constraints related to inconsistent raw material production, high post-harvest losses, relatively high cost and limited availability labor, macroeconomic factors, and intensified regional and other competition. Market access problems related to SPS materials have exacerbated and reinforced these constraints, reducing the profitability and raising the risks as…
Public perception of drinking water from private water supplies
While most participants were confident in the safety of their private water supply, the factual basis for these opinions is uncertain. Improved dissemination of information pertaining to private water supplies in this population is needed. Observed differences in the concerns expressed by users of different water systems and age groups may suggest the need for targeted public education strategies. These focus groups provided significant insight i…
