AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT, 1995
The African Development Report, 1995 is the seventh in an annual series covering recent economic developments in Africa; an in-depth analysis of a development policy issue of major importance to Africa; and updated statistical information on the African economies. Part I of the Report surveys broad economic developments in Africa during 1994. It begins with a review of the world economy; and examines the impact of economic growth in the industrial countries on world trade and on economic developments in Africa. It also provides a detailed analysis of the 1994 economic growth experience and related developments in Africa. In addition, it reviews various domestic economic policy developments; and offers perspectives on African economic integration; the costs of internal conflicts to economic development; problems of internal debt; the autonomy of the Central Bank in Africa; currency convertibility; and on the devaluation of the CFA and related issues. Furthermore, it undertakes a more in-depth assessment of conditions in nine selected countries: Botswana, Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Senegal, South Africa and Tunisia. Finally, it provides an overview of the medium-term outlook for Africa. Part II of the Report examines more closely the relationship between structural adjustment and development in Africa; and the factors that have accounted for the limited success rate of structural adjustment programmes. The issues discussed in this part of the Report include an assessment of the record of adjustment and sustainable growth; poverty reduction and accelerated growth with equity; the role of the state and governance; adjustment programmes and their linkages to domestic resource mobilization; the external resource constraint; African agriculture and food security; and industrialization. Against this background, the role of the African Development Bank in structural adjustment is examined. Part III of the Report presents updated socio-economic statistical information on the African economies.
