Contemporary discussions of Africa's recent growth have largely
interpreted such growth in terms of structural transformation,
based mainly on national- and sectoral-level data. However, the
micro-level processes driving this transformation are still unclear
and remain the subject of debate. This collection provides a micro
economic foundation for understanding the particular growth
processes at work within the region's rural areas, and in so doing
provides important insights for policy action. The book provides
valuable household- and farm-level evidence about the drivers of
rural labour productivity, improvements in access to markets,
investment in food value chains, and indeed the role of rural
economic growth in Africa's ongoing rural transformation processes.
Some of the features of Africa's ongoing rural transformation are
similar to those of agricultural transformation as experienced in
Asia and elsewhere. However, other features of Africa's rural
transformation are unique, and pose important challenges for
development policy and planning. Together, the studies compiled in
this volume provide an updated, evidence-based, and policy-relevant
understanding of where African countries are in their developmental
trajectories and the region's prospects for achieving inclusive
forms of development over the next several decades. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of
Development Studies.
