    Southern Africa is one of the most well endowed regions in the continent in terms of mineral and natural resources. However, the region is facing serious environmental challenges such as land degradation, deforestation and water stress in specific areas.

    The book provides an evaluation of, and
    policy advice on key environmental, social, and economic
    issues concerning the development of nature tourism. Using
    KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa as a case study, it highlights
    both the benefits, and trade-offs I promoting, an managing
    sustainable nature-tourism development, and it assesses how
    policy can enhance nature tourism's contribution to
    economic growth, poverty reduction, and conservation. The

    Most existing estimates of the
    macroeconomic costs of AIDS, as measured by the reduction in
    the growth rate of gross domestic product, are modest. For
    Africa-the continent where the epidemic has hit the
    hardest-they range between 0.3 and 1.5 percent annually. The
    reason is that these estimates are based on an underlying
    assumption that the main effect of increased mortality is to
    relieve pressure on existing land and physical capital so

    The pressure on an already stressed
    water situation in South Africa is predicted to increase
    significantly under climate change, plans for large
    industrial expansion, observed rapid urbanization, and
    government programs to provide access to water to millions
    of previously excluded people. The present study employed a
    general equilibrium approach to examine the economy-wide
    impacts of selected macro and water related policy reforms

    This book seeks to contribute to the
    sharing of knowledge between Brazil, India, and South
    Africa, three of the largest emerging economies today. By
    assessing and comparing the investment climate in each, the
    authors seek to profile concrete steps that countries can
    take to improve the business environment. The authors focus
    particularly on identifying the commonalities and
    differences both within and among the three countries and

    This book, Financing cities, emphasized
    case studies on different topics to look at the interactions
    of a range of variables and factors and to see how they fit
    together. Rather than require each case to follow the same
    format, the authors have structured their papers around the
    issues that matter most from their perspective in addressing
    the topic in hand. The first part of this book presents case
    studies describing the framework established at the national

    Informal settlements are a permanent
    feature of South Africa's cities. Estimates from the
    General Household Survey by Statistics South Africa show
    that more than 26 percent of all households in the
    country's six metropolitan areas live in informal
    dwellings. The government's policy efforts have focused
    on provision of subsidized housing, first introduced as part
    of the Reconstruction and Development Program. Through the

    Countries everywhere are divided into
    two distinct spatial realms: one urban, one rural. Classic
    models of development predict faster growth in the urban
    sector, causing rapid migration from rural areas to cities,
    lifting average incomes in both places. The process
    continues until the marginal productivity of labor is
    equalized across the two realms. The pattern of rising
    urbanization accompanying economic growth has become one of

    This paper uses the 2010/11 Income and
    Expenditure Survey for South Africa to analyze the
    progressivity of the main tax and social spending programs
    and quantify their impact on poverty and inequality. The
    paper also assesses the redistributive effectiveness of
    fiscal interventions given the resources used. Because it
    applies the Commitment to Equity methodology, the results
    for South Africa can be compared with other middle-income

    The authors use evidence from a survey of about 1200 beneficiaries of South African land reform to assess the performance of the initial phase of the land reform program. They find that the program has not lived up to the quantitative goals set, but did successfully target the poor. It has led to a significant number of economically successful projects that already generate sustainable revenues.
