    Kenya

    This assessment of poverty and
    inequality comes at an important juncture for Kenya. The
    December 2007 elections and subsequent pronouncements of the
    newly formed Grand Coalition have underlined the salience of
    these issues to ordinary Kenyans, and for policy makers. The
    violence in early 2008 highlighted the importance of
    addressing poverty and inequality as major goals in their
    own right, but also for instrumental reasons, as major goals

    Although there has been considerable
    recent interest in micro-credit programs, rigorous evidence
    on the impacts of forming self-help groups to mobilize
    savings and foster social empowerment at the local level is

    following this pattern. The authors use a large household
    survey to assess the economic and social impacts of the
    formation of self-help groups in India. They find positive

    urban community in Thailand as working capital for
    locally-run rotating credit associations. The money about
    $2 billion in total was quickly disbursed to locally-run

    Size, age, sector, and productivity are
    commonly cited as factors determining a firm s survival.
    However, there are several dimensions of the investment
    climate in which the firm operates that affect whether it
    continues in business or exits. This paper uses new panel
    data from 27 Eastern European and Central Asian countries to
    test the importance of five areas of the business climate on
    firm exit: the efficiency of government services, access to

    the national-level adaptation planning efforts and the
    lessons that can be derived for more effective adaptation
    from an examination of local governance of development and
    natural resources. After examining national level adaptation
    plans, particularly the NAPAs (National Adaptation

    Women are a powerful force for
    sustainable economic growth. A growing body of microeconomic
    empirical evidence and emerging macroeconomic analysis shows
    that gender inequality limits economic growth in developing
    economies. Research also shows that considerable potential
    for economic growth could be realized if countries support
    women's full economic participation. Increases in
    women's income tend to correlate with greater
