About PRSP-Watch

The Website "www.prsp-watch.de" provides basic information on the compilation and implementation of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP) launched in the context of the 1999 Cologne G7/G8 Summit's debt cancellation initiative. At present, 60 country profiles (from Afghanistan to Zambia) are available that contain the contents of the (preliminary or final) PRSP and civil society's involvement in the PRS process.
