Abstract

Substantial agreement exists on the long-term development objectives of Africa south of the Sahara. This consensus is probably best reflected by the deliberations of the African heads of state enshrined in the Lagos Plan of Action of April 1980 (OAU, 1980). According to the Plan, long-term development policies in Africa should aim at: Reducing mass poverty and improving the living standards of the population. Attaining, in particular, greater food self-sufficiency. Promoting self-sustained development through structural changes in patterns of production, consumption and foreign trade and in the area of technological dependence. Attaining collective self-reliance through a better integration of African production structures, markets and transport, as well as communication and trade infrastructures.
