Heavily Indebted Poor Countries

réunion informelle du Conseil d’administration sur ce thème a eu lieu en juin 2008, puis un rapport consacré aux effets de la crise sur les nations les plus pauvres du monde (intitulé «The Implications of the Global Financial Crisis for Low-Income Countries»)20 a été remis au Conseil et présenté par le Directeur général dans une intervention à la Brookings Institution au début de mars 2009. Le même mois, le Conseil a examiné l’évolution des schémas de financement des pays à faible revenu et ses répercussions

to explore the rich, varied, and fascinating worlds of modern South Asian fiction. “South Asia” is a term that includes several nations, but for the purposes of this volume, it refers specifically to Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and India. These are the countries that have produced the internationally famed works under discussion. The great majority of the authors discussed here are Indian in origin. Several different criteria were used to select the authors and works discussed. First, the coverage of this

Because it deals with people, this is a relationship-based project management approach. Most project management texts deal heavily in technical areas alone, leaving participants ill-prepared for the real project world; I know I was. I found my past project management training, although thorough and technical, to be only about 5% of what I needed to know. I have learned these
