If you are looking for a country case studies I know John Burchill has some
good work on Sierra Leone - I am sure he is willing to share his
knowledge. [log in to unmask]
If you want to find out our own government's perspective on development /
poverty and what we should be doing about it you may want to read DFID's
new report entitled 'Poverty: Bridging the Gap' available (in intro or full
text format) from DFID 0207 917 7000.
If you have any other queries regarding development Economics contact me on

And I think your website is excellent (we have a hyper link to your
development economics page!)
Thanks
