Series Statement: Systematic Country Diagnostics

Content: Sao Tome and Principe (STP), a small island nation of 215,000 people in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of Central Africa, is in many ways a country of great untapped wealth. One of Africa's least known countries, its striking volcanic landscape is home to virgin rainforests with rich biodiversity, while its large exclusive economic zone (EEZ), approximately 160 times larger than the archipelago, is a marine biodiversity hotspot and supports high numbers of species unique to the area. It has among the lowest violence and crime rates in Africa and has had peaceful elections and transitions of power since becoming a multiparty democracy in 1991, making it an outlier in the region. It also has a young population, half of which is under 18 years of age, raising the prospect of a demographic dividend to be tapped in the years ahead. Its economy has grown steadily over the past two decades, outpacing its high population growth.

Content: This growth reflects strong inflows of overseas development aid (ODA) and revenues from oil exploration that have enabled the government to expand public investments, particularly in infrastructure, social protection, health, and education. This has enabled STP to bridge the gap caused by years of underinvestment in local human and physical capital, a legacy of the country's colonial past (its first secondary school was established only in 1952). This growth model has not been able to spark the fundamental changes needed for the economy to generate resilient poverty reduction and shared prosperity. Few jobs are being created, and indicators and consultations with civil society reveal a broad sense of social exclusion even as the economy has grown. This model is not sustainable.A new growth model is needed, one that will be able to provide more opportunities for its growing population.

Content: In the context of STP, a small nation with low capacity facing increasing vulnerabilities and in need of a new growth model, it is important to think strategically to identify an effective way forward. To this end, this Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) identifies the most critical vulnerabilities and constraints facing the country and, from these, a set of actionable priorities that will contribute to reducing poverty while promoting sustainable growth and shared prosperity

Content: The storm came on the night of 31 October. It was a full moon, & the tides were at their peak; the great rivers of eastern Bengal were flowing high & fast to the sea. In the early hours the inhabitants of the coast & islands were overtaken by an immense wave from the Bay of Bengal - a wall of water that reached a height of 40 feet in some places. The wave swept away everything in its path, drowning around 215,000 people. At least another 100,000 died in the cholera epidemic & famine that followed. It was the worst calamity of its kind in recorded history. Such events are often described as 'natural disasters'. This text turns that interpretation on its head, showing that the cyclone of 1876 was not simply a 'natural' event, but one shaped by all-too-human patterns of exploitation & inequality - by divisions within Bengali society, & the enormous disparities of political & economic power that characterized British rule.

Content: Guyana is the only English speaking country in South America, is located on the Atlantic seaboard of north-eastern South America. It extends 800 km south from latitude 88 degree N on the Atlantic coast to latitude 1 degree N and some 480 km east to west between longitudes 57 degree and 61 degree W. It has an area of about 215,000 km. The total population is some 750,000 made of 45 percent Indian descent, 37 percent Afro-Caribbean, 7 percent Amerindian and 11 percent of Chinese, European, and mixed descent. Population and commercial agriculture is concentrated along the coastal strip. In 2004 Guyana had a Gross National Income per capita of US$990 (globally ranked 146th) according to World Bank data. Other sectors involved in the custody of the land and natural resources have also received considerable support during the same period. The key sector agencies involved in natural resource management, the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC), the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission and the Guyana lands and surveys commission, are working on a long-term collaboration to develop a national land use plan for Guyana. In the short-term, the agencies are reaching an understanding and accord on land management particularly where resources overlap and exploitation can cause intersectoral conflicts (such as gold-mining and forestry)
