African Voices on Structural Adjustment presents 14
in-depth studies on the history and future of structural adjustment in
Africa. Each study appraises the performance of structural adjustment
policies (SAPs) with respect to a particular sector or issue. Each evaluates
the compatibility of SAPs with the requirements for long-term development in
Africa and, most importantly, each presents a truly African perspective. The
contributors represent a outstanding collection of leading African
economists and development experts.
This volume is intended as a companion to Our
Continent, Our Future. It will appeal to students, professors,
academics, and researchers in development, economics, and African studies;
professionals in donor organizations around the world; and economic
policymakers in both the governmental and nongovernmental sectors.
