Least Developed Countries Report, 2007
The UNCTAD has recently released the Least Developed Countries Report, 2007, subtitled "Knowledge, technical learning and innovation for development". The full report can be downloaded freely online. Introduction: "The least developed countries (LDCs) are a group of countries (presently 50 States) that have been officially identified by the United Nations as "least developed" in the light of their low income, weak human assets, and high economic vulnerability. UNCTAD, in past LDC Reports, has taken the view that the key to sustained economic growth and poverty reduction in LDCs is the development of productive capacities and related creation of productive employment. The Least Developed Countries Report 2007 corroborates this view by focusing on knowledge accumulation, technological learning and the ability to innovate as vital processes toward genuine productive capacity development in these countries."
The Report shows that the current pattern of technology flows to LDCs through international trade, foreign direct investment and intellectual property licensing does not contribute to narrowing the knowledge divide. Sustained economic growth and poverty reduction are not likely to take place in countries where viable economic re-specialization would remain impossible in the absence of significant progress in technological learning and innovation capacity-building. The Report suggests that national governments and development partners could meet this challenge, notably through greater attention to the following four key policy issues.
Intellectual Property Protection Minimum Standards
SME's - interventions in developing countries
Wanted: jobs for Africa’s youth - Business Friendly

Update: Spam software
- Well I still have not found a good plugin that will work with Outlook 2007. My web hosting client has an option to detect and delete spam on the server before it gets to my inbox but I am worried that it will delete some of my important emails.
If anyone has had luck with Outlook 2007 and getting their spam issues solved, please post and let me know!
Re: For all Women Entrepreneurs
- Hi Carol,
Congratulations again for this new promotion.
We "know" each other from PIPS and the PPG forum, I decided to go online on March 2007, and joined PIPS on June 2007, and I love every minute of it.
I am a lab technician in a local high school, and for some unknown reason this year our school "gave birth" to 6 more full classes, which leaves me with a little time for my biz.
But I work better under pressure.
Good luck:)
