Coordination Risk and Cost Impacts on Economic Development in Poor Rural Areas
This paper addresses issues relevant to a critical problem in economic development: how to get rapid pro-poor economic growth in poor rural areas in Africa and South Asia where most of the world's dollar a day poor live. It examines constraints to the development of coordinated exchange systems in poor rural areas, focusing on the core problem of thin markets and low density of economic activity in these areas. Transaction cost and risk analysis …
Overcoming Market Constraints on Pro‐Poor Agricultural Growth in Sub‐Saharan Africa
In sub‐Saharan Africa, there is fairly broad agreement that increased investment in key public goods such as roads and communications infrastructure, agricultural research and water control will be required if revitalised agricultural development is to take place. However, it has proved more difficult to reach agreement on what needs to be done to improve the performance of agricultural markets. In this article we set out an agenda for investment…
State intervention for food price stabilisation in Africa
Beyond Liberalisation
Institutions, Markets and Economic Co-ordination
This article explores policy applications of ‘new institutional economics’ theory in relation to markets and economic development. It argues for application of an analytical framework which instead of looking at institutions primarily in terms of their contributions to making competitive markets work better, sees such markets as one form of institution fulfilling exchange and co-ordination functions in an economy. A key element in this is recogni…
Competition and Coordination in Liberalized African Cotton Market Systems
The Malawi 2002 food crisis
The recent food crisis in Malawi has drawn stark attention to the failures of development policies over the last forty years to create wealth and develop a robust economy or the markets on which such an economy must depend. Current market liberalisation policies have achieved at best mixed success in addressing the generic problems inhibiting smallholder agricultural development: low returns to farmers' and service providers' investments, with hi…
A Policy Agenda for Pro-Poor Agricultural Growth
Beyond Gender Roles? Conceptualizing the Social and Economic Lives of Rural Peoples in Sub-Saharan Africa
The repeated failure to design and appropriately target policies and interventions which address the needs of rural peoples in Africa suggests that something may be wrong with our understanding of the way that these peoples live their lives. Perspectives which focus on intra-household processes, and on gender issues in particular, represent useful advances in the way that the social and economic lives of Africa's rural peoples are conceptualized.…
Malawi's Export Crop Boom
At Independence, Malawi had a strongly bimodal agricultural structure' which, while it has undergone some evolution, has retained its basic features to the present. One mode is often referred to as the 'estate' or 'large farm' or 'plantation' sector. The other mode is referred to variously as the 'peasant', 'smaliholder' or 'customary land' sector. There are a number of dimensions to the distinction: important among these are the size of holding,…

public sector. This was followed by a series of major investments of a mainly non-productive character (palaces, military aviation, a new international airport, elite private college), which were in part financed by borrowing from the Eurocurrency market. The overall balance of payments went into deficit in 1978. The final element in the making of an economic crisis was the failure of the 1979-80 season rains in the southern half of the country, …
Coffee After Copper? Structural Adjustment, Liberalisation, and Agriculture in Zambia
In contrast to its policies in the economic sphere, Zambia has one of Africa's most liberal approaches to press freedom. To convey the flavour of public debate during, or immediately after, the 19-month experiment with a market-determined exchange rate, 10 quotations are presented below:Large scale mining will continue for 12 to 20 years, but small-working may go on for 50-60 years.- Francis Kaunda, Chairman, Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines, Jun…
The effectiveness of structural adjustment lending
Malawi
Malawi is perceived by many donors as a ‘virtuous case’ and a relatively effective user of aid. Although many of these perceptions date from the economic boom of the 1970s, performance in recovery from balance of payment difficulties has also been impressive as aid has shifted towards programme lending with linked policy reforms and away from new projects. This article considers these claims and reviews the effectiveness of donors' sectoral inter…
Limits to Recovery
The Return of Malawian Labour from South Africa and Zimbabwe
This article examines an unusual phenomenon in the context of modern African labour migration. It explains how Malawi, which had long been a significant source of migrant workers for its neighbours, managed to withdraw over one-half of its international labour force from abroad in the first six years of the 1970s, and to integrate these individuals into the domestic economy within a very short period of time. Traumatic movements of large numbers …
