The Fifth Inter-country Programme is being prepared against the backdrop of unprecedented regional economic crisis and formidable international challenges, and in the face of severe financial constraints. The growth rate of real GDP for Sub-Saharan Africa was 1.0 per cent for the period 1980 to 1989. This compares with rates of 4.3 per cent for all developing countries and 3.0 per cent for developed countries over the same period. Real per capita incomes declined yearly at an average rate of 2.2 per cent for 1980-1989. This weakness is also reflected in sectoral performance. For instance, agriculture grew by an average of 1.8 per cent for the period 1980 to 1988. The structure of agricultural production has not improved significantly over the last 25 years. In 1988, agriculture's contribution to GDP was about one-third down from over 40 per cent in 1965. The poor agricultural performance coupled with rapid population growth has meant greatly increased dependence on imports and widespread hunger as purchasing power remained very low. Exports declined yearly at 0.7 per cent between 1980 and 1988 compared to annual increases of 6.6 per cent from 1965 to 1980. Sub-Saharan Africa's share of total world exports has fallen from 2.4 per cent in 1970 to 1.7 per cent in 1985.
