The curse of remoteness
-----------------------
Why some African households fail to benefit from economic growth

Economic growth in some African countries has improved the well-
being of the poorest. However, in remote areas poverty remains
entrenched. New research argues that Africa's economic growth
will not be translated into poverty reduction until the poor are
given better access to markets and to basic infrastructure, such
as roads.
