Running time: 52 minutes. File size: 20Mb.
In this episode of Development Drums, we discuss the continuing food crisis. What are the causes, and are we doing enough to tackle it? We discuss policies to increase the incomes of farmers, and the impact of social transfer programmes. We also look ahead to the forthcoming conference in Doha to discuss financing for development, particularly at proposals to reform the international tax rules so that developing countries get paid more tax.
And we mourn the passing of Miriam Makeba.
