food crisis a famine. That鈥檚 a testament to the severity of the ongoing suffering in Somalia, a disaster of biblical proportions that has already claimed the lives of tens of thousands. But evidence abounds that famines are not only the result of natural occurrences. On the contrary, most are the shocking result of human error or, in the worst case, deliberate neglect.</p> <p>This was the message <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://www.cgdev.org/content/expert/detail/1423544/">Owen Barder</a> drove home to me in this week鈥檚 Wonkcast.

Jenny is an assistant professor at Tufts University鈥檚 Fletcher School and a non-resident fellow here at the Center for Global Development. Her research interests include the impact of communication technologies in poor countries, especially Africa.</p> <p>Mobile phone use has spread across Africa at a stunning pace. The percentage of Africans who could access a mobile phone leapt from only 10% in 1999 to more than 60% by 2008鈥攆ar outstripping improvements in other infrastructure (roads, clean water, or indeed landline telephones). In <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://www.cgdev.org/content/publications/detail/1424175/">a new CGD working paper</a>, to be published later this summer in the Journal of Economic Perspectives, Jenny and her co-author Isaac Mbiti describe four main ways phones have been applied to the problems of the poor.

Europe, meanwhile, has its own debt woes, with mounting fears that a default in Greece could spill over into Ireland, Portugal and Spain. So far, however, there has been relatively little discussion about what these twin crises would mean for the 5 billion people living in developing countries. Sadly, those with the least influence over the issue could pay the highest price.</p> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://blogs.cgdev.org/global_prosperity_wonkcast/2011/07/19/the-debt-cap-showdown-and-the-developing-world-liliana-rojas-suarez/" class="more-link">Read More…</a></p> <div class="powerpress_player" id="powerpress_player_7489"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> pp_flashembed( 'powerpress_player_7489', {src: 'https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://blogs.cgdev.org/global_prosperity_wonkcast/wp-content/plugins/powerpress/FlowPlayerClassic.swf', width: 320, height: 24, wmode: 'transparent' }, {config: { autoPlay: false, autoBuffering: false, initialScale: 'scale', showFullScreenButton: false, showMenu: false, videoFile: 'https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://traffic.libsyn.com/cgdev/11718_Rojas-Suarez_final.mp3', loop: false, autoRewind: true } } ); </script> <p class="powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3">Podcast: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://traffic.libsyn.com/cgdev/11718_Rojas-Suarez_final.mp3" class="powerpress_link_pinw" target="_blank" title="Play in new window" onclick="return powerpress_pinw('869-podcast');">Play in new window</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://traffic.libsyn.com/cgdev/11718_Rojas-Suarez_final.mp3" class="powerpress_link_d" title="Download">Download</a> </p> </p> <h4 align="right"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://blogs.cgdev.org/global_prosperity_wonkcast/2011/07/19/the-debt-cap-showdown-and-the-developing-world-liliana-rojas-suarez/#comments" title="Comment on The Debt Cap Showdown and the Developing World: Liliana Rojas-Suarez">1 Comment »</a></h4> <div style="height:30px;"> </div> </div> <div id="post-858"> <h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://blogs.cgdev.org/global_prosperity_wonkcast/2011/07/12/prospects-for-south-sudan-the-world%e2%80%99s-newest-nation-ben-leo/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Prospects for South Sudan, the World鈥檚 Newest Nation: Ben Leo">Prospects for South Sudan, the World鈥檚 Newest Nation: Ben Leo</a></h1> <h4 class="noline">July 12, 2011 </h4> By <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://blogs.cgdev.org/global_prosperity_wonkcast/author/lawrence-macdonald/" title="Posts by Lawrence MacDonald">Lawrence MacDonald</a> in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://blogs.cgdev.org/global_prosperity_wonkcast/category/debt-relief/" title="View all posts in Debt Relief" rel="category tag">Debt Relief</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://blogs.cgdev.org/global_prosperity_wonkcast/category/fragile-states/" title="View all posts in Fragile States" rel="category tag">Fragile States</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://blogs.cgdev.org/global_prosperity_wonkcast/category/uncategorized/" title="View all posts in Global Development" rel="category tag">Global Development</a> Tags: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://blogs.cgdev.org/global_prosperity_wonkcast/tag/ben-leo/" rel="tag">Ben Leo</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://blogs.cgdev.org/global_prosperity_wonkcast/tag/debt-relief-2/" rel="tag">Debt relief</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://blogs.cgdev.org/global_prosperity_wonkcast/tag/fragile-states/" rel="tag">Fragile States</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://blogs.cgdev.org/global_prosperity_wonkcast/tag/oil/" rel="tag">Oil</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://blogs.cgdev.org/global_prosperity_wonkcast/tag/sudan/" rel="tag">Sudan</a> <p><p><img style="float: left; padding: 6px;" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758im_/http://www.cgdev.org/files/1424104_image_benleo.jpg" alt="Ben Leo"/>On Saturday the world鈥檚 newest nation exuberantly celebrated its first independence day.

That鈥檚 a lot of money, and an important cause, so it was encouraging to learn last week that the United States and the G-20 are starting to seriously scrutinize food aid policy. Recent developments in Washington and Paris show a growing consensus that it鈥檚 about time to overhaul outdated approaches to feeding the hungry.</p> <p>Joining me this week to discuss these developments is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://www.cgdev.org/content/expert/detail/1424455" target="_blank">Connie Veillette</a>, director of CGD鈥檚 Rethinking U.S. Foreign Assistance Program and CGD research fellow <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110814121758/http://www.cgdev.org/content/expert/detail/1424104" target="_blank">Ben Leo</a>.
