Description and Table of Contents
Description
Each book in Oxfam's "Country Profiles" series describes the social, political, historical, environmental and economic context of Oxfam's work in one particular country. The books focus on the real lives of ordinary people and the major development issues that face them, and are illustrated with photographs, maps and diagrams. This text looks at the problems facing Rwanda, one of Africa's smallest and most densely populated countries. The volume examines challenges such as environmental degradation, economic instability, conflict over resources and pressure for democratization, which affect the country especially acutely.
