| Summary: | Considered an "A-student" by the Bretton Woods Institutions, Mali benefitsfiom debt relief: Growth resumed afier the 1994 devaluation, but poverty did not decrease significantly. The Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper gives priority to investment in education and health. In countries like Mali, the effectiveness of such policies is questionable, at least in the short or medium run. We propose to focus on the dynamics of poverty reduction. To promote equality of opportunity, redistribution issues should be taken into consideration, but also ways of promoting an increase in rainfed agriculture and steady job creation in urban areas. |
