Poverty Africa

This book takes a new look at the urban poverty debate at a time when there is renewed interest in urban poverty and management from the World Bank and other multilateral development agencies. It brings together contributions from academics, practitioners and urban poverty specialists to present a multi-disciplinary approach to the debate, highlighting the need to link policy, institutional, and grassroots efforts.The first part of the book considers the structural contexts: how poverty has arisen, how poverty theory has sought to increase our understanding and how the policies of municipal and national authorities have impacted on the poor.The second part deals with institutional responses to urban poverty and is concerned with the possibilities for constructive action. Here, contributors look at poverty assessments that have been instigated by the World Bank and how these should be used, as well as multi-layered approaches to poverty alleviation that could be supported by donor agencies, and housing creation by governments as a method of poverty alleviation. Real case studies on the work of a South African NGO with the homeless and the work of NGO promoted microfinance programs in the Horn of Africa emphasize the initiative of the poor themselves.The third part explores the grassroots survival strategies of the poor themselves. It looks at the strategies of poor families with particular reference to womenbs health-seeking behavior, the plight of street children, and old women living alone in Tamale, Ghana, and considers the livelihood strategies and the significance of rural-urban linkages for the poor in Africa.

With the recent announcement of the lifting of sanctions, South Africa stands poised to emerge from years of economic isolation into a world undergoing dramatic transformation. What patterns of trade and investment in the world at large will shape the external environment facing South Africa in the 1990s? And what will make a developing country like South Africa internationally competitive in this decade? Furthermore, what role can international trade and investment play in spurring economic growth in South Africa, alleviating the country's poverty and promoting a more equitable distribution of wealth? These are some of the questions that came under the spotlight at an international conference organized in 1993 by The Aspen Institute and IDASA (The Institute for a Democratic Alternative for South Africa). At this conference, held in South Africa, a number of leading economists and policy advisers from the United States, Asia, Latin America and Africa met to stimulate discussion about a range of critical issues facing the South African economy in the years ahead. This book, like the conference on which it is based, explores South Africa's international economic trends and their implications for South and Southern Africa.
