Harvests of Development in Rural Africa 

(July 2010, 111 pages, 2.50 MB PDF). A new report highlights initial progress in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) after three years of implementation. Based on results from the recently completed midterm surveys, the report focuses on sector-based gains (e.g., health, education, infrastructure, and gender) and site-specific gains in five out of twelve Millennium Village sites. CIESIN, in collaboration with the Tropical Agriculture and Rural Environment Program of the Earth Institute (EI) and EI site teams, aided in the development and implementation of field and data management systems to collect, enter, clean, and analyze MDG-related survey data.
