Thanks, HO, for a most informative report. We benefit from this more fine-grained analysis of how PO is playing out around the world, both at a country level (like your post) or even moreso (IMHO) with finer-grained ethnographic accounts of the effects on the everyday lives of ordinary people...particularly from sub-Saharan Africa which is a region many of us think will bear the brunt of PO. Chris Vernon's post from Senegal some months ago pointed in the direction you've taken here. We need more of this middle-level, case study sort of reporting.

TOD seems too often to veer between macro-analysis of trends (if not outright dataless projections), useful as they may be, and anecdotal "here's what's going on in my (typically US or UK) neighborhood" reports. Your post is as refreshing as it is sobering.

Thanks.
