The drought that swept through Africa in 1984 was as widespread and disastrous as it was because conditions were ripe for it: because of the structural weaknesses of African economies, none of the countries seriously affected by the drought could keep its systems of production from collapsing. Despite the fact that the recipient countries were ill-organized to cope with a sudden, massive in flow of international assistance, many human lives were saved and utter calamity was averted. Everyone is waiting anxiously for the next act in the play to unfold because they know that international assistance has provided but a brief respite and that the spectre of famine and ruin has retreated only temporarily. It is therefore high time Africa took steps ward off disaster once and for all.
