About this title

Synopsis

The findings of a comparative study of African aid programs in Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Senegal, and Tanzania. The study Managing Agricultural Development in Africa (MADIA) was carried out between 1984 and 1988 by the World Bank and donor agencies from seven countries. This collection of reports, by policy analysts from each donor country, shows that where economic growth has occurred in the six countries studied, small holder agriculture has been the key. Published for the World Bank. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Review

"The authors' main concern is to draw lessons for the donor agencies, rather than for African governments... The chapters are interesting and revealing, and display the sheer variety of interpretations that can be made of donors' past policies." -- Journal of Agricultural Economics

"Considering the diversity of the problems and donors' strategies, Uma Lele and Rahul Jain have done a commendable job to put country-oriented analysis into cross-country perspective... A welcome addition to the literature." -- Indian Journal of Agricultural Economics
