Delgado, C. L.2016-04-192016-04-191995Food, Agriculture, and the Environment Discussion Paper 3http://hdl.handle.net/10919/66569Metadata only recordThis paper looks at the often conflicting changes, frequently shaped by foreign institutions that have affected policies for agricultural development in most Sub-Saharan African countries since the 1960s. Reviewing past and present paradigms, Delgado contends that none of the strategies, including today's, has provided a "magic bullet" for solving Africa's development problems. He argues that a new resolve by Africans to solve their own problems and a new willingness of international entities to invest heavily in African institutions hold the greatest hope for future development planning. - IFPRItext/plainen-USIn CopyrightFood securityCommunity developmentNongovernmental organizations (NGOs)AgricultureGovernment policyHuman capitalSub-Saharan AfricaEcosystem Farm/Enterprise Scale GovernanceAbstract
