CONNECTIVITY REVOLUTION: Roads, rail, ports, telecommunications, internet

A Comparison of Railway Networks in Africa and India

THE ECONOMIC STRATEGY Rural Sector: From “Sub-subsistence” to Commercial Agriculture Urban Sector: From informality to International Competitiveness in Manufactures and Services Demographic Transition

Rural Sector Community-led development through Millennium Villages

Millennium Research Villages

Urban Development Promote global competitiveness in urban areas through investments in key infrastructure and attraction of FDI Millennium Cities Project

Sector ODA Per African Per Annum: Recommended versus Current Source: OECD DAC, 2003 Note: ODA net of Technical Cooperation

The Scientific Challenges Ecologically placed science Operations Research and evaluation Understanding Anthropogenic Change R&D for the Poor: health, agriculture, energy, connectivity, water, training and systems (management and finance)
