Download or read book Structural Adjustment Reconstruction and Development in Africa written by Kempe Ronald Hope and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997, this volume is intended to make a contribution to both the literature and the contentious debate on the relationship between structural adjustment and reconstruction and development in Africa, as seen from the multidisciplinary perspective of academics and practitioners working in Africa on African development problems and issues. The implementation of structural adjustment in Africa has spawned a considerable, and still on-going, debate with vociferous advocates on both sides of the issue, particularly with respect to the efficacy of structural adjustment programmes (SAPs) as an antidote to Africa’s development crisis. This book contributes to that debate with a rich mixture of analytical views and ideas covering a wide range of countries and sectors on the role and impact of structural adjustment programmes on the process of reconstruction and development in Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The different approaches to post-adjustment development economics are all examined in this study. The aim is to combine the critical reaction to structural adjustment with the new approaches of a number of schools of thought which seek to go further than the Washington consensus. The first part focuses on recent economic debates influencing current trends in development theory. The second part examines the schools of thought which have sought to renew recent conceptions of development economics by returning to the work of the pioneers. Part three examines recent work in the institutionalist and conventionalist approaches and part four is devoted to the new structuralist and Keynesian approaches. The last part deals with the cultural approach.
Download or read book Negotiating Structural Adjustment in Africa written by Hilary Hodgson and published by James Currey. This book was released on 1994 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is clear need to formulate alternative approaches to the present structural adjustment programs in Africa. These programs have not ventured beyond economic stabilization, sanitization of public finances, and an ideological reorientation toward minimal government. Insufficient attention to the links between macroeconomic policy changes and microeconomic behavior has negatively affected investment and activity. The UNDP commissioned the Food Studies Group at the University of Oxford to analyze recent experiences and to provide an appropriate set of development objectives. Their findings provide essential reading for all those involved in preparing, negotiating, and implementing adjustment programs.

Download or read book Structural Adjustment and Socio economic Change in Sub Saharan Africa written by Peter Gibbon and published by Nordic Africa Institute. This book was released on 1996 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarises the results of work at the Nordiska Afrikainstitutet/Nordic Africa Institute (NAI) on the impact of structural adjustment implementation on the economies, states and societies of sub-Saharan Africa. It consists of two essays and an appendix listing research projects which have been/are being carried out under the auspices of NAI. The first essay raises a series of conceptual and methodological questions in the context of a presentation of some of the main empirical results obtained from extended field work carried out during the course of 1992 and 1993 in Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. The second essay presents the three main themes - private trading networks and structures, the changing political economy of land, and popular forms of social provisioning - that constitute the core of the second phase of NAI's structural adjustment research and, in so doing, provides a review of aspects of the adjustment literature. This report is, therefore, an attempt both at stock-taking and agenda-building as part of a wider quest for deepening our understanding of the structures and processes of socio-economic change associated with the crisis and adjustment years in contemporary Africa

Download or read book Adjustment in Africa written by Ishrat Husain and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1994 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of case studies focuses on the processes and outcomes of reform programs in seven African countries--Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, and Tanzania--chosen for the wide variety of conditions present before their individual adjustment programs began. The World Bank's recent policy research report Adjustment in Africa: Reforms, Results, and the Road Ahead concludes that the adjustment programs launched in 29 countries in the mid-1980's have resulted in some improvement in the overall policy environment. These improvements have been strongest in the macroeconomic and agricultural spheres and weakest in the areas of finance and public enterprise. The study also finds that reform programs work in the countries where policy performance has been good; conversely, poor policy progress has been reflected in poor performance. This volume presents case studies of seven country experiences to supplement and reinforce findings from the Policy Research Report. The studies confirm that whenever adjustment programs are vigorously pursued, results are strongly positive from the viewpoints of growth and alleviation of poverty. A key element in ensuring a successful adjustment program is strong motivation and commitment by the leadership in each nation. Too many abrupt, unpredictable, and frequent changes and reversals of policies erode the credibility of the programs, intensify the uncertainties, and slow down investor confidence. In short, the success of reforms hinges on policy stability, continuity, and predictability.

Download or read book Structural Adjustment Reconsidered written by David E. Sahn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-08-13 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The often emotional debate over the impact of structural adjustment on the poor in Africa has been confused by the complexity of economic reforms and their inconsistent implementation, the diversity of prior conditions, and confounding effects of external shocks. Professors Sahn, Dorosh, and Younger isolate from other factors the effect of specific policy measures associated with adjustment programs. The authors suggest that contrary to common belief, adjustment policies do not harm the poor in Africa. Reforms in fact usually benefit the poor slightly, but alone are insufficient to reduce poverty significantly.
