This Publications Database from the Africa Region of the World Bank makes available to interested scholars and development practitioners a series of development periodicals written by the Region's staff. This database represents an effort to create a viable, evolving knowledge base and disseminate it as widely as possible.

Work published by staff that receives a Library of Congress number and a copyright is available through the World Bank Bookstore and the Bank's international publications distribution network as well as through the Library of Congress. This database, through its listings, makes the more informal publications of the Region accessible to the public.

We welcome any suggestions to make this database more useful. Please contact P. C. Mohan at the World Bank, 1818 H Street, N.W., MSN J8-811, Washington, D.C. 20433; Phone (202)473-4114; Fax (202)477-2977.
