Africa is still predominantly rural spatially and demographically and may remain so for some time. Over 60 per cent of the population is still rural and agriculture is still the mainstay of most of the populations and most of the economies. The development of rural life, rural settlements, institutions and economy are therefore the main bases by which the region can expect to pull itself up with dignity and equity. In each country of the region, therefore development of the rural sector is now almost synonymous with national development. According to the international agenda Africa is determined to enhance agricultural productivity, improve distribution mechanisms, and establish reliable market schemes, credit system and adequate storage facilities. Agenda 21 addresses in chapter the promotion of sustainable human settlements development which brings together two strands of thought about managing human activity. The first concentrates on development, including concern for equity, while the second looks to achieving development without damaging life support system or jeopardizing the interests of future generations. This report discusses the implementation of the programme areas of Agenda 21 in the context of sustainable human settlements development, focusing on policies towards mitigating rural/urban imbalances in African countries.
