Chairman's Report

This is a period when the policies of the governments and financial institutions of the richer world towards the poorer are coming under increasing scrutiny. We are also witnessing a growing interest in the effectiveness of economic, social and environmental policies by the governments of developing countries. Major changes are taking place and the importance of research on policy alternatives could hardly be clearer. ODI aims to stay in the forefront of such research, as this report illustrates.

The year 1987 was eventful and active for ODI. Our research programme continued to expand and our public information activities were further developed. There was particularly important and influential work with a number of development NGOs and with the All Party Parliamentary Group. John Howell, formerly Deputy Director and Chairman of the Agricultural Administration Unit, was appointed as Director in November to take over from Tony Killick, Director since 1982, who requested to return to a full-time research role within ODI, as Senior Research Fellow.

For the first time, ODI's annual turnover exceeded £1 million. Our expenditure rose by 34% to £1,004,928, while income also rose substantially by 31% to £996,603, reflecting welcome additional financial support from some key funders, particularly the Overseas Development Administration.The out turn was a small deficit, on standard items, of £8,325, less than 1% of turnover. Given the substantial increase in activity this was not disappointing, although our high level of dependence on funding tied to specific, planned, activities remains a source of concern as it limits our flexibility in responding to opportunities and demands which arise. ODI's 1987 Accounts are summarised on pages 20 to 23; more detailed accounts are available on request.

During the year we welcomed several new staff. Mark Robinson, a political scientist, took up a new research post funded out of the Twenty- Fifth Anniversary Appeal, and Christopher Stevens returned as a full-time member of staff after three years away in Brussels. In September Keshavlal (K.J.) Patel became our Accountant, replacing Ron Taylor who retired in August after eight years of service with ODI. Jyoti Bhardwarj, Elspeth Hummerstone and Ingrid Norton also joined the staff.

There were a number of other departures during the year. Simon Commander left to join the World Bank in Washington and Camilla Toulmin joined the International Institute for Environment and Development. Fiona Harris and Haneya Wales also left the staff. Peter

Ferguson, our library assistant, left to take up a VSO post in Malawi.This will be my last Report as Chairman of Council. After a four year term

which I have found as rewarding as enjoyable, I will step down in July. The Institute is very fortunate that Peter Leslie, Deputy Chairman of Barclays Bank pic, will take over. I know he will find the job demanding and stimulating. I look forward to continuing to serve on the Council and I wish to thank Council members, the Directors, and the staff for their unfailing support during my chairmanship.

Sir Reay Geddes

Director's Review of the Year

In research terms, 1987 was a year in which ODI consolidated its reputation in its recognised fields of expertise, and also developed a number of new areas. These included a study of the scope for industrial-based development in several countries of sub-Saharan Africa; an examination of wages and labour conditions in export industries in the newly- industrialising countries (NICs) of South-East Asia; an assessment of the conditions for successful trade and financing strategies in some of the newer generation of NICs (including Zimbabwe and Colombia, for example); and an examination of the ways that monetary policies operate in primary producing countries such as Bangladesh and Kenya.

ODI has also expanded its established research capabilities. The design of major 'structural' shifts in economic policy in developing countries, and the impact of such changes, is one such area of recognised strength. A major programme on the income distribution effects of stabilisation and adjustment programmes has continued and ODI staff are now engaged in a World Bank-led project examining the social dimensions of adjustment.

There has also been work on the problems specifically encountered by African countries in moving from 'adjustment' to longer-term recovery; and there has been a particularly timely programme (including collaborative studies and a conference) on the design and impact of adjustment policies on agricultural production and on public agricultural agencies. The findings will be published in 1989 as Structural Adjustment and Agriculture: Theory and Practice. ODI's overall research experience in this field is now being put to use in a study which ODI is undertaking for the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) on the effects of economic policy changes in Africa's rural areas.

ODI's Agricultural Administration Unit has concentrated its research effort on a range of specific technical and management interventions in natural resources and the environment. For example, there has been research on the design of irrigation schemes, on the factors which influence the different ways that trees are managed in poorer farming communities, on the (largely unsuccessful) performance over twenty years or so of technical interventions in semi-arid rangelands of Africa, and on the involvement of farmers in the management of water. Much of this has had a specific impact on the design of agricultural programmes in countries such as Ghana, Kenya, the Sudan and Sri Lanka.

In 1987, there was also a renewed emphasis on two areas of long-

standing ODI interest: aid effectiveness, and EEC-South relations. There are several different dimensions to ODI's work on aid. A major component has been a study of UK aid to African agriculture, and a new interest in non governmental organisations (NGOs) led first to a major international conference and now extends to a research project. But the most important contribution was the publication of a major review of the more general case for aid: Foreign Aid Reconsidered. ODI also hosted a high level meeting attended by the Minister for Overseas Development, Christopher Patten MP, to examine the findings of this and two other recent books on aid policy, with which ODI has been associated.

ODI's work on the EEC has similarly taken several forms. The annual survey examined trade and investment (Europe and the International Division of Labour); there were new projects on the impact of the EEC Sugar Protocol and on trade barriers to tropical agricultural products such as tobacco, coffee and rice; and a start was made on a major review of European relations with the Third World since decolonisation.

A further area of ODI interest has been developing country debt. Several staff have contributed to international conferences and business seminars on this topic, and Managing Third World Debt was the subject of the second report of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Overseas Development (APGOOD), to which ODI provides general administrative support and specialist advice. The Debt report proved to be particularly influential and over the past year there has been a significant shift in the policies of the UK government, commercial banks and international financial institutions towards African and other debtors.

ODI's wide-ranging expertise on Africa was called on for its work with Save the Children Fund in preparing a report for HRH The Princess Royal's Africa Review Group. The report's publication by Hodder and Stoughton as Prospects for Africa represents a significant attempt to reach a wider audience in the UK. ODI's research services will continue to be made available to the Africa Review Group.

A longer-established part of ODI's work in creating an informed public opinion has been the Briefing Paper series, and in 1987 the programme was focussed on topical development issues, which included analyses of economic sanctions and southern Africa, African drought and post- drought recovery measures, progress on the GATT Uruguay Round, and problems confronting the specialist agencies of the UN system.

There was growth and innovation elsewhere in the Institute in 1987. The ODI Fellowship Programme secured appointments for a record number of young economists with governments overseas and there were nine countries participating in the Scheme by the end of the year. The Development Policy Review is now well-established as a quarterly journal and

it produced a particularly strong issue (Vol 5 no 2) concentrating upon agricultural development in Africa.

The move, in late 1985, to the new site at Regent's College has also begun to show dividends in terms of the range of our activities. In March 1987 we co-hosted, with the journal World Development, an important international conference on NGOs in development at which some 60 agencies were represented with participants from over forty countries. In July 1987 ODI joined forces with Harvard University in arranging a six-week course for professionals from developing countries on Banking and Monetary Policy. For 1988, we have also arranged a number of conferences and meetings which take advantage of the facilities at Regent's College, including a half- day seminar (in May) on agricultural biotechnology and developing countries. It is events such as this, and the research and publication associated with the arrangement of such events, which indicate GDI's readiness to respond to new areas of interest and concern. The following section on staff interests and capabilities gives some indication of where and how we will respond to the challenges of research on North-South relations and on the design and management of policies within developing countries.

The bimonthly ODI Library Periodicals Reference Bulletin was expanded in scope and renamed the ODI Index to Development Literature.

Agricultural Administration Unit Networks

In addition to its programme of research in agricultural development, the main activity of the Unit is the co-ordination of its four international information networks in Agricultural Administration (research and extension), Irrigation Management (run jointly with the International Irrigation Management Institute in Sri Lanka), Pastoral Development and Social Forestry. The networks are drawn from a wide mix of nationalities and professional disciplines, academics and practitioners, over half of whom are resident in developing countries.

The ODI's agricultural networks, with 500-1500 members each, make a major contribution to ODI's total publications output. More than 40 network papers and newsletters were published in nine separate mailings during 1987. For the first time, on a trial basis, a French version of the Irrigation Management Network newsletter was produced for distribution to some 300 francophone irrigation specialists.

The Unit also hosted ten lunchtime meetings for network members resident in the UK. During the year the installation of the Unit's computerised database, containing information on the interests and research experience of network members, was substantially completed, and the first computerised register of members was produced for the Social Forestry network. Further details about the Unit, including a full list of network publications, are available from the Administrative Secretary (AAU).

Meetings and Conferences_____Eight lunch-time discussion meetings were held in 1987 a somewhat smaller number than in recent years since staff attention was devoted to an ambitious expansion of the conference programme.

The first conference, held in March, was a three-day international symposium on Development Alternatives: The Challenge for NGOs, organised jointly with World Development. It was attended by around 130 NGO representatives from a wide variety of backgrounds and regions. Participation extended from the major foundations of the north to some very small private agencies in the south involved in both welfare and business activities. The symposium papers have been published in a special supplement of World Development (Autumn 1987, Volume 15).

In June, a conference on Revitalising Foreign Aid: New Debates and Policies was held to coincide with the launch of Roger Riddell's book, Foreign Aid Reconsidered. This was followed in November by a closed- door seminar for senior UK government officials, chaired by ODI's Director and attended by Christopher Patten MP, Minister for Overseas Development.

During June and July, ODI assisted the Harvard Institute for International Development in organising a workshop on Banking and Monetary Policy in Developing Countries for around 25 finance and banking officials from developing countries.

In September, a conference arising from Simon Commander's work was organised on the theme The Design and Impact of Adjustment Programmes on Agriculture and Agricultural Industries, papers of which have been edited for publication in January 1989.

ODI's annual conference on Economic Prospects for the Third World was again held in October in both London and Brussels. Special attention was focussed this year on industrialisation and trade in manufactures, with particular reference to Africa.

Various smaller events were also organised, including a seminar for about twenty NGO representatives on the Role of Non-Governmental Organisations in British Development Education held in July. It was addressed by Professor Steven Arnold of the American University, Washington DC, who had recently completed a study of UK NGOs. In September, ODI hosted with UNICEF(UK) an evening meeting as part of the launch of UNICEF's publication Adjustment with a Human Face.

ODI LibraryGDI's library has an extensive collection of approximately 18,000 books, and currently receives about 400 periodicals covering almost every aspect of development, including economic, rural and social development, agricultural policies, aid, finance, foreign trade, labour and social conditions in developing countries. There is also a separate agricultural collection consisting of about 4000 documents, mainly 'grey literature' on agricultural administration, irrigation, pastoralism and social forestry. The library provides an essential resource to the Institute's research staff, as well as being of great interest and help to its many visitors.

During 1987, the library has expanded and improved its computer database, thereby facilitating the production of bibliographies on demand. Steps were made towards achieving a joint list of periodical holdings in the field of development by UK institutions.

The library is housed within the Regent's College library, but remains a separate collection. To allow for quick and efficient access to the library's collection of periodicals, all relevant articles are indexed by subject and geographical area. The library also publishes a bi-monthly Index to Development Literature which lists the more substantial periodical articles and research reports received in-house. This index is available on subscription or exchange, and is distributed to more than 30 countries.

Parliament

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Overseas Development entered its third year with continued advice, organisational back-up and research support from ODI. In May 1987, the findings of the Group's Working Party on debt were released in the form of a report called Managing Third World Debt. This was published as a book, the second such report to be published by ODI on behalf of the Group since its formation.

The debt report had a dual launch. A well-attended press meeting at the House of Commons was addressed by Bowen Wells MP, the Debt Working Party Chairman, and later a public meeting was held in the House of Commons at which Eric Roll (Lord Roll) provided the keynote speech. ODI also organised an All-Party Group luncheon in the House of Commons in conjunction with IDS, Sussex, at which the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr Nigel Lawson, spoke on his African debt initiative to over thirty MPs and other participants. Several of the report's recommendations were reflected in proposals advanced by the Chancellor at the Venice Summit and the World Bank/IMF autumn meeting in Washington.

The Group's officers initiated a letter to Mr Barber Conable, president of the World Bank, concerning the poverty focus of World Bank operations. The letter was signed by 275 MPs and a similar letter in the USA with which this was coordinated attracted the signatures of numerous prominent Senators and Congressmen

Following the June elections, the membership of the Group expanded substantially to include just under 150 MPs and Peers. As usual, the Group held a number of meetings during the time Parliament was in session, which were addressed by a range of distinguished speakers, notably:

Douglas Williams who spoke on The Specialized Agencies of the United Nations: A System Under Strain;

Bernard Wood, Director of the North-South Institute in Ottawa, on Current Aid and Development Issues: Fresh Canadian Perspectives;

Kenneth Dadzie, Secretary-General of UNCTAD on UNCTAD VII and the Revitalization of Development, Growth and International Trade;

Volkmar Kohler, the Federal German Minister of State for International Economic Cooperation on European Development Policy Against the Background of the Debt Crisis;

Barber Conable, President of the World Bank on Challenges to the World Bank in the 1990s: the Struggle for Economic and Social Progress in the Developing World.

ODI Fellowship Scheme

The ODI Fellowship Scheme has been in operation since 1963. Under the Scheme young economists and those in related fields are recruited to work in the public sectors of developing countries in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific. In addition to offering young economists and others wishing to pursue a career in development practical work experience in developing countries, the Scheme provides governments of these countries with high calibre staff at the junior professional level where gaps in local manpower often exist.

In 1986 ODI was successful in obtaining additional funds from the Overseas Development Administration, which finances the Scheme, to enable it to recruit up to 17 Fellowships from the 1987 selection round. Fifteen Fellows were finally allocated to posts, of which 11 were in Africa (Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Swaziland, Uganda and Zanzibar), three in the Pacific (Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu), and one in St Vincent in the Caribbean. Twenty eight Fellows were in post as of October 1987 and their assignments are shown below.

A booklet giving further information about the Scheme may be obtained from the Programme Officer.
