Economic recovery and self-sustaining development in sub-sahare Africa: a critical review of capacity building implications
1994
The underlying thesis of this paper is that sub-Saharan Africa's development deficit is not only widening but that reducing it will take more than the fiscal, policy and institutional reforms incorporated in structural adjustment programmes. As argued in the paper, development deficit is essentially a deficit in capacity particularly, human, and to some extent, institutional, capacity. A legitimate question is why such a self-evident truth has not really influenced the content and direction of public policy, and if it has, why sub-Saharan Africa's development has stalled for so long.
