A number of agencies and organizations provide support and collect information about country-specific or regional issues related to development, environment and demographics. The best way to determine who might have information about a specific issue, country or region is to ask: "Who (which entity) is concerned about it?".  The resources below will get you started with answering that question.  Most of these sources contain:

• Short essays and statistics about specific issues and measurements for individual countries
• Links to more information or search boxes useful for searching for related information produced by the organization
• Reports by country or region that provide more insight about specific issues and development challenges
