Understand the current position of
development in the East African Region
by applying the theories and models of
development to factual evidence
1. Consider the altitude, what effect will this
have on soil fertility, rainfall, and climate?

fertility, rainfall and climate have on development?
3. Why would Lake Victoria improve trade

columns? Why?
2. Do the developments in these

Understand the current position of
development in the East African Region
by applying the theories and models of
development to factual evidence
1. List which development goals
have seen the least progress
towards achieving them
3. Are there any patterns you
can see between the progress
made towards each of the
MDG’s within the East African

have seen the most progress
towards achieving them.
4. Research which of the millennium
development goals the three
countries have made the most and
the least progress with.
5. Compare the information on
HDI scores with the information
you have been given and your
research on MDG progress. Are
there any correlations? Can you
find any patterns? Is one country
doing better overall?
