6. Research
Funded research projects
Summary
During the past 15 academic
years, I have been awarded a grand total of $801,253 in academic
research funding, which may be divided into $139,301 of funding at the
Université de Montréal for group projects in which I was either the principal
researcher or the only other researcher involved, $169,940 of funding
for projects at the Université de Montréal in which I was the sole researcher,
with the remainder (since I have been at CERDI) stemming from various World
Bank-funded projects (or projects funded by national governments) in which I
was one of the principal investigators involved. I am currently leading the impact evaluation
of a large World Bank social fund in Angola, as well as the evaluation of three
programs in francophone West Africa —one in the Cameroon and two in Senegal.

structural adjustment and (ii) public finance in LDCs. My main responsibility
was for the sections dealing with public expenditure reviews and privatization
in LDCs. Over a period of three years, we provided courses to over 400 CIDA

·
Created a new M. Sc. program with specialization in
