[Luis Felipe López-Calva @LFLopezCalva]

In Zambia, a country that has achieved positive economic growth in recent years, progress in poverty reduction has not kept pace, reflecting the complexity of translating growth into broad-based improvements in living standards.

While a 1% increase in GDP per capita is on average associated with a 1% decline in poverty among countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, in Zambia the growth poverty elasticity was a 10th of the regional average between 2006 and 2010, a high-growth period.

Reversing this trend will require not only sustained, private sector–driven growth that creates quality jobs, but also targeted investments to close persistent gaps in access to basic services, improve the productivity of assets, strengthen resilience to shocks, and guide decisions with better data.

The @WorldBank “Zambia Poverty and Equity Assessment” prepared by Maria Gabriela Farfan Betran, @LinaCardonaSosa, Christopher Hoy, @vmartinez413 and Lyliana Gayoso, is a critical reading for policy design in countries with stagnant poverty trends.

These are eight slightly different versions of The Great Wave Off Kanagawa from eight different museums.

So which is the real one? That's the thing — they're all the real one.

Here's a brief history of art's most famous wave...

I could have gone just for Fabiola Alba but I guess I'm more scared of my mom's chancla if I omit her last name than not getting a job.
