Abstract:  The Nov./Dec. 1980 issue of the bi-monthly Global Village Voice contains a Special Report on Central America, as well as articles on other parts of the world.

Committed to development through international co-operation, the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP) which published the Voice, is committed to working with the poor to give them some economic and political control in their own countries.

The Special Report on Central America reports on the existing political and economic realities of Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. These three countries have a history of military dictatorships. The report shows how these dictatorships often created an economy which benefits a rich minority and oppresses a poor majority. The history of Nicaragua holds hope, as the people "get a grip on the future" through the rise of popular organizations.
