Planning African Development

Introduction

First published in 1981, this book concerns specifically the Kenyan experience with regards to development planning but, given that the problems of hunger poverty and underdevelopment manifest themselves in slightly different forms across all African countries, this book has considerable relevance to development planning across the African continent.

Development Priorities

The first set of essays in this collection address the question of development which is undoubtedly Africa’s highest development priority.

Project Planning

The second grouping of essays considers issues in project planning and asks questions concerning cost, method, outcome and evaluation of various projects in Kenya.
