Reality or Illusion?

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a critical evaluation of 'homegrown' development initiatives in Africa, set up as alternatives to externally sponsored development. Focusing specifically on Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya, the book takes a qualitative and comparative approach to offer the first ever in-depth analysis of indigenous development programmes. It examines: * How far African states have moved towards more homegrown development strategies. * The effects of the shift towards African homegrown socio-economic development strategies and the conditions needed to enhance their success and sustainability.
