Development economics question

[thebest]

In the domestic and international factors in economic development section, the syllabus requires us to us know the information in respect to a specific example of a developing country. How are the examiners going to mark this? And how detailed/specific do our knowledge of that one country have to be... Like if we know that country has a lack of infrastructure (which is one of the domestic obstacles to development), is explaining generally what a lack of infrastructure results while mentioning the country's name sufficient? Or do you need more details

There is no right answer to this. Having in your back pocket examples and stats of your LEDC of choice will undoubtedly be helpful, but the answer depends entirely on what the question is asking you. There is no way of saying you should know X amount of details and that will be enough for the exam questions. It also depends entirely on how you frame your answers and in what context you write the mini-essays.
