| | Developing country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The United Nations allows each nation to decide for itself whether it will be designated as "undeveloped" or "developing" (though many economists and other observers ignore the UN rule about self-designation). | | | The application of the term 'developing country' to all of the world's least developed countries could be considered innappropriate in the cases of a number of poor countries, due to the fact that they are not improving their economic situation as the term implies, but have experienced prolonged periods of economic decline. | | | A developing country is a country with a low income average, a relatively undeveloped infrastructure and a poor human development index when compared to the global norm. |

| | Conservation Role of Developing Nations |
| | Increasingly developing nations are adopting environmental plans both to look good in the eyes of international financing organizations, and in finally realizing the adverse affects of deforestation for their own economies and peoples. | | | Developing governments could significantly reduce deforestation by changing land title procedures so deforestation is not favored over the maintenance of productive forest. | | | Laws are not in place to be flagrantly violated by politicians and their associates at the expense of the people, the environment, and less well-connected business interests. |

| | New global trade negotiations would generate approximately $90 billion-$190 billion a year in higher incomes for developing nations, according to study by Joseph Francois of Erasmus University in Rotterdam. | | | • Opening Markets/Opening Opportunities: As much as developing nations may need debt relief and development aid, a prerequisite for their long-term economic growth is full participation with the global economy and trading system. | | | A strong intellectual property regime also discourages brain drain, as it encourages the best and the brightest in developing nations to carry out research at home, confident that the fruits of their labors will enjoy patent protections. |

| | Strategy 8: Debt Retirement and Debt for Nature |
| | With some developing nations paying 30% to 40% of their foreign exchange earnings on servicing debts, they are not in the position to import goods from developed countries. | | | Devaluation of developing nations' debts has given rise to an opportunity to retire substantial amounts of debt at a fraction of their face value. | | | The amount needed to retire the major portion of the developing world's debt is about 13% of the annual interest payments on the US government's debt, or 3.8% of the world's total annual military expenditures. |

| | Developing Nations |
| | Within the context of developing nations, the cultural, political, and economic realities of each country are often very different. | | | Finally, let us come to a conclusion about what prescription developing nations must follow in bettering the lives of their citizens and in turn creating an improved world for all members of our global community. | | | Following these recommendations and providing for significant time for the development of human capital, leadership, legal and financial systems, and industry a poor country will have a good chance at developing into a competitive economy that is able to provide its citizenry with jobs, education, and a chance at a good life. |

| | WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Citizens in developing nations could find their lives at risk because their governments have not adequately prepared for the so-called Y2K computer bug, the World Bank has warned. | | | Developing nations are more vulnerable to the Y2K bug because, in general, they are more dependent on fewer and older computing systems, according to the World Bank. | | | In a statement issued Tuesday, the World Bank said only 15 percent of 139 developing nations surveyed by bank experts were found to have taken concrete steps to correct potential Y2K problems. |

| | The failure of the talks is regarded by the developing nations in Africa and Asia as a signal of their arrival as a new force to be reckoned with in the global economic stakes. | | | This solidarity among developing nations was in sharp contrast to the past when similar groupings cracked under pressure from developed nations, which customarily have dominated the direction of previous negotiations under a veil of secrecy. | | | But there is a growing danger that the WTO will recede into the background, regarded by the developed nations as an irrelevant talking-shop for protesters, even as they negotiate the real business of international trade under divide-and-rule tactics to cut even more lopsided bilateral deals than in the past. |

| | e-OTI: How Real Is the Internet Market in Developing Nations? |
| | Much of e-commerce infrastructure involves progressive moves on the legislative and regulatory fronts by government agencies and industry organizations, but the Internet seems to have become a political football in many developing nations, with various government agencies vying with one another for control of Internet traffic and revenues. | | | These are yet to take off in developing nations, and even the much-hyped WAP does not seem to have delivered in many parts of the world, though Japan's i-Mode is often touted as a good example of breaking the PC stranglehold on the Net market. | | | In the case of developing countries with a large diaspora population, services like gifting, investing, and financial remittance to the home country are well suited for aggregation and exploitation via the Internet. |

| | Developing nations watch Thailand's bold healthcare plan csmonitor.com |
| | By correcting this bias toward hospitals over primary care, which is common to many developing nations, government planners want to encourage people to seek care close to home. | | | Thailand's bold experiment with universal health coverage, an expensive privilege enjoyed by a minority of countries, could prove a model for other developing nations, who are watching closely. | | | Proponents of universal coverage argue that Thailand and other developing countries can improve productivity and play economic catch-up by investing early in public health, rather than waiting for growth. |

| | Refuting objections to a Global Rural Network (GRNet) for developing nations |
| | One of the hopes for networking in developing nations is that by bringing education, health care, news, entertainment, contact with the outside, employment, etc. to rural areas, the quality of life may rise to a point where migration to crowded cities will be diminished. | | | Anyone with experience in developing nations is justifiably skeptical of government projects; however, IPTO decisions were not made by government bureaucrats, but by visionary faculty members from universities who were brought in for temporary assignments. | | | Developing nations cannot afford high–speed connectivity — low–cost store–and–forward technology is more appropriate technology for a poor, developing nation. |
