Case Studies on Africa and the Middle East

These eight case studies illustrate some of the work IDRC's Rural Poverty and Environment program has supported in Africa and the Middle East.

The case studies are written in journalistic style by professional writers in the regions. Topics covered include the African Highland Initiative; transboundary water research in the Middle East; Isang Bagsak (participatory development communication); agriculture-livestock integration and the management of natural resources; and the struggle against desertification in the Sahel.

Each case study is available in Arabic, English, and French. In order to reach the widest possible audience, the case studies are accessible and downloadable from the Web (project 101866).
