Dr. Derick Boyd, the Executive Director of the Caribbean Centre for Money and Finance (CCMF) was recently awarded the Highly Commended Award at the Literati Network Awards for Excellence 2010.

Every year the Emerald Literati Network invites each journal's editorial team to nominate what they believe has been that title's Outstanding Paper and up to three Highly Commended Papers from the previous 12 months. An article co-authored by the Executive Director of the Centre Dr. Derick Boyd with Professor Sonny Nwankwo and Professor Kazem Chaharbaghi, entitled "Sustainable development in sub-Saharan Africa: Issues of knowledge development and agenda setting" and published in the International Journal of Development Issues has been chosen as a Highly Commended Award Winner at the Literati Network Awards for Excellence 2010.

The award of winning papers is chosen following consultation amongst the journal's editorial team, many of whom are eminent academics or managers. 

This paper has been selected as it was one of the most impressive pieces of work the team has seen throughout 2009.
