| Summary: | The challenge of development in Africa goes hand in hand with the becoming of rural areas. The latter, just like the whole African continent, are faced with an unprecedented crisis and the increase in the number of poor people is higher there than in the cities. Rural areas are also experiencing a definite trend toward a return to self-sufficiency.The end of the welfare state that marked the State disengagement from the social sectors, the socio-economic marginalisation of the rural areas in a framework within which development is considered in terms of urban development, the emergence of new rival spaces such as periurban areas and artisanal mining areas... are just so many factors that can account for the rural decline as expressed in the agricultural and demographic decline, in the remoteness of the rural areas...If it goes on this way, the setting up of a real development process will undoubtedly be curbed. |
