Strategy for economic development in africa

Abstract

Development strategy, which appears most suitable for conditions in Africa should be based on the guiding principles; Re-shaping the economic infrastructure so as to adopt them to suit the new independent status of the countries and the requirements of economic growth, with special reference to new potential patterns of trade and to overcoming the dualism in African national economies by developing effective social, economic and physical links between rural and urban communities; Rectifying the extraordinarily small sizes of national markets through economic cooperation and integration and providing an infrastructure designed to meet the requirements of self-sustaining development; this refers, in particular, to education, science, technology and management.
