Languages: English, French, Spanish

Keywords

Overview

Abortion, reproductive rights and maternal mortality

Keywords

Overview

The authors make their case for safe, legal, accessible, affordable abortion, as one part of reproductive health services that make all the choices, and information, available to women.

2 documents

36 pages long

Languages: English, Russian

Keywords

Overview

Economic inequality in Russia – skewed income and wealth distribution – increased sharply in the transition from a state socialist system to a capitalist market economy.

Scaling up the benefits of agroforestry research: lessons learned and research challenges

01/08/2001

11 pages long

Free access through journal website

Keywords

Overview

Case studies demonstrate the breadth and richness in approaches to scaling up and lessons learned from them. A key lesson is that scaling up agroforestry innovations is far more complex than simply transferring information and planting material; it often entails building institutional capacity in the community for promoting and sustaining the innovation and adoption process.
