Country Name

Introduction and background to the country and summary of its current status: (ie, if they have just been through a 20 year civil war, that should figure prominently in what is going on in the country now, particularly with regard to biotic resources (~3 single spaced pages).  

I have posted  an example for Togo in the White Paper Example link to give you an idea of what a white paper looks like, but that was when we had groups of only two people and the Introduction was only one page.  Your INTRO should be 3 pages.
