Rural development in Mali (x)

Abstract

This report has arisen out of the interest in community development evinced by the United Nations Economic and Social Council and Economic Commission for Africa, and is more particularly a sequel to three documents which were submitted to the third session of the Economic Commission for Africa. The decision to present to the Commission a special study on community development in a French-speaking African State was warmly welcomed by the Government of Mali, with whose generous assistance and with the collaboration of whose officials the study required was carried out in August 1961 by a member of the Secretariat.
