DIVIDED COUNTRY INCHES TOWARDS PEACE


For country-wide health statistics - most dating back to the pre-war period - try the U.N. World Health Organisation.

Medecins Sans Frontieres Holland produced an April 2005 report on the rise of sexually transmitted infections in western Ivory Coast, which gives some useful information on the general state of health in the region.

Information on child soldiers can be found in the Child Soldiers Global Report 2004.

Amnesty International produced a report in March 2007 on the effects of violence on the country's women.

The best place to find information about the U.N. peacekeeping mission is the U.N. Operation in Cote d'Ivoire website.

The U.N. Consolidated Appeal 2007 document gives a good overview of the humanitarian situation. It also has good maps showing population movements and details of where U.N. troops are based.

For a month-by-month summary of how the peace process is developing, Belgian-based think tank International Crisis Group gives updates, including useful newspaper articles.

The BBC has a profile on Ivory Coast.

Norwegian-based Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre keeps track of reports and analyses population movements, both those going home and those newly uprooted by violence.

The 2007 report from the U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR, has some useful information.
