Title: Appalling poverty in Malta in the early 19th century Abstract: With very few exceptions, contemporary commentators on the Maltese landscape consistently linked the dire plight of the Maltese to the greed and mismanagement exhibited by their new colonial authorities. The onset of British rule saw a significant influx of British immigrants who sought jobs, advancement, and financial gain, all of which were drawn from Malta's already limited resources and revenues. Journalist Giovanni Bonello documents the alarming levels of poverty that afflicted Malta during the early 19th century.

Title: Regional socio-economic development plan for the South of Malta : part 4 : consultations Abstract: Every phase towards the successful completion of the regional socio-economic development plan was designed to create a collage of vital information and different ideas originating from a wide variety of sources. This was an essential prerequisite for a plan which deals primarily with the socio-economic development of the South of Malta. The importance of setting up the necessary communication pathways was stressed in the Project Brief, the instrument which provided the essential guidelines for all Planning Council operations. The Planning Council was detailed to "consult fully with the Local Councils concerned, the Planning Authority, Government Departments and Corporations and the private sector on all findings".; The Planning Council acted accordingly by devising an exhaustive programme of consultations with all concerned bodies, that is, the eleven Local Councils concerned, government departments, corporations and both state and nongovernmental organisations. As regards to Government Departments, every Ministry appointed liaison officer/s as focal point/s for the Planning Council. All liaison officers were invited for an informal consultation meeting with the Planning Council. The purpose of such informal meetings was to establish a link between Ministries/Departments and the Planning Council together with its selected pool of professionals identified by the Council to assist the Local Councils concerned to draft the technical reports. For such informal meetings all the Planning Council members were invited to attend. [excerpt]

Title: Regional socio-economic development plan for the South of Malta : part 3 : main report Abstract: The underpinning of the Regional Socio-Economic Development Plan for the South of Malta of which this write-up forms part, is the democratic process involved: planning for the development of the region started at the grass-roots level - distant from the administrative centre notwithstanding the active participation of the Cabinet Ministries and their liaison officers appointed to act as focal points for the Planning Council. Direct participation of the people and involvement by their elected representatives/councillors would ensure a better response and would reflect the real needs of the locals. Local Councils were invited to be the prime movers of this Plan. They were expected to mobilize all the forces and resources present within their localities to identify both the problems and the opportunities which exist in the region.; Furthermore, to help Local Councils in drawing up their technical reports, the Planning Council had identified a pool of professionals, mainly from the public sector. Six Working Committees were formed, each responsible for an issue which will be covered by the Plan. These Working Committees formed part of the Technical Committee which was coordinated by the Chairman of the Planning Council. Since these Working Committees were to be the fulcrum on which the first phase of the Plan (that is the preparation of the technical reports) turns, the Planning Council organised a set of meetings specifically to bring together the Local Councils and the professionals in order to explain the methodology suggested for adoption in the first phase of the execution of the Plan.
