Politique Économique du Développement et Programme d'Ajustement Structurel au Sud du Sahara

Author

Abstract

Au début des années 1980 des nombreux pays au sud du Sahara éprouvaient de nombreuses difficultés pour faire face au quotidien. La situation économique était la suivante: énorme dette, inflation croissance négative, etc. Cet article fait l'analyse des derniers évévenements sur la situation économique en Afrique au sud du Sahara. Elle montre que si certaines mesures du programme d'ajustement structurel ont permis d'éviter la faillite es économies de ces pays, cependant le problème de développement de l'Afrique reste posé. Nous nous efforçons dans cette analyse de proposer une réflexion pour mettre en place une véritable politique économique de développement dans cette région. L'une des principales suggestions de notre analyse est que les PAS (programmes d'ajustement structurel) à venir doivent tenir compte de la réalité africaine. Cette réalité est caractérisée par deux secteurs. Or si le secteur dit formel est actif, il existe en Afrique au sud du Sahara 80 % des hommes et des femmes que ce secteur ne couvre pas. D'où l'urgence d'intégrer ces hommes et ses femmes dans le processus de développement demain dans cette région In the beginning of the 1980s many countries in Subsaharian Africa had more difficulties coping with the expenditures. For these countries the situation is as follows : higher debt, high inflation, negative growth rate, etc. This paper investigates the latest economic policy in subsaharian Africa. Notwithstanding the adjustment program, we show that the question of development of Subsaharian Africa remains on the agenda. Here we propose a view towards building an economic policy of development in Africa. We suggest that the Adjustment Program to come has to take into account the African reality. In subsaharian Africa, there are two sectors, the formal sector is active, but the informal sector employs around 80 % of people. Whence, the Adjustment Program to come has to integrate these people in development process in this region.
