Terms of use

By using this site you accept these terms. They are written to be read, not to trip anyone up.

What the articles are

Pa bwalo publishes research and analysis about development and public policy for general information. The articles are not legal, financial, investment, medical or other professional advice, and you should not rely on them as such.

Each article separates what the sources report from what the writer concludes. The conclusions are the writer’s own analysis and opinion. They concern institutions, policies and public records, and are not statements about the private conduct of any person.

Accuracy

Every factual claim is sourced, and every article is checked against its sources before publication. Even so, sources can be wrong or out of date, and mistakes can happen. When we find or are told of an error, we correct it and note the correction on the article. Figures describe the year stated in the text and may have changed since.

Links to other websites

Articles link to official documents, reports and news stories published by others. We do not control those websites, and a link is not an endorsement of everything on them. Their content, availability and privacy practices are their own.

Copyright and quoting

The articles, design and graphics on this site are © Pa bwalo. All rights reserved.

• You may quote short passages, with credit to Pa bwalo and a link to the article.
• You may share links to articles anywhere.
• Please ask first before republishing a whole article or a large part of one, or using it commercially.

Quotations from official documents and other sources remain the property of their owners and are used for reporting, criticism and review. Names and logos of organisations mentioned belong to those organisations, and their mention does not imply any connection with or endorsement of this site.

No warranty

The site is provided “as is”. We do our best to keep it accurate and available, but we make no promise that it will always be complete, current or uninterrupted.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Pa bwalo is not liable for any loss or damage arising from the use of this site or reliance on its content, including content on linked websites.

Changes

These terms may be updated. The current version is always on this page, with its date.
