World Bank Projects to Look At

At the suggestion of KDP from our initial meetings, I looked at World Bank and IMF programs in the areas of Brazil that I might be interested in pursuing research to see if there is any overlap. Here are some links that I found so far.

Starting Off

This is it. I’m starting my thesis research and the wonderful journey that comes with it.

Here’s my plan:

I’ll keep this blog as my journal for my research, where I can keep all the good stuff I need to finish it up when I’m going through the design phase. The hard part will be remembering to keep it up...
