Agricultural and rural development in less developed countries with special reference to Southern AfricaFootnote

Pages 287-296 | Published online: 27 Feb 2008
 

Abstract

Rural development as an ideology and a practice has not achieved its goals in most less developed countries. A situation analysis is essential for successful rural development.The analysis should include physical and human resources, economic activities and institutional factors within an integrated framework, aimed at diagnosing development constraints as a basis for future planning.
