 Agrarian Change in the Central Rainlands Sudan by Mohammed A. Sahil African Refugees and the Law by Goran Melander && Peter Nobel (ed) Refugees and Development in Africa by Peter Nobel (ed) Flight and Integration: Causee of Mass Exodus from Ethiopia and Problems of Integration in the Sudan by Mekuria Bulcha by John Markakis The recent output of tidy monographs issued by the SIAS at Uppsala includes a number of studies reflecting Swedish interest in the Horn. Integrated rural development in Ethiopia has been one such interest, whose story is detailed in John M Cohen, Integrated Rural Development (1987). It concerns the well known Chilalo Agricultural Development Unit (CADU), set up in 1967 in Arssi province. The idea, novel at the time, was to provide an 'integrated package' of inputs under a single authority designed to increase smallholder production. Administered by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA), CADU became one of the most studied and best known projects of its kind in the Third World.
