Towards a reorientation in land reform: From a market to locality-driven approach in South Africa’s land restitution programme
Despite general agreement that land reform can be a catalyst for positive rural change in sub-Saharan Africa, the means towards this end are frequently coloured in ideological hues, which manifest themselves in confounding binaries like racial justice/environmental justice, market/state and equity/efficiency. The fractures surrounding sub-Saharan land reform are most obvious in the south, where the land question traces its roots to racially motiv…

The U.S. Diversity Visa Programme and the Transfer of Skills from Africa
The Diversity Visa (DV) programme is designed to improve the multicultural composition of the U.S. "melting pot" beyond the traditional source countries in Europe. In pursuit of this objective, the basic eligibility requirement for participation in the programme is a high school diploma. Despite its salutary objective and design, the programme's implications for the African brain drain may not all be benign. The "tired, poor, huddled masses" from…
The Reverse and Return Transfer of Technology (RRTT): Towards a Comprehensive Model of the Migration of African Experts
The emigration of experts from Africa to the developed world is often analysed in terms of the reverse transfer of technology (RTT), a process typically described as one in which the skills embedded in an expert become part of a reverse flow of technology from the less developed to the developed world. In the reverse flow or brain gain, the African home country obtains the embedded skills of the returning expert and is able to use them towards na…
Land Reform, Ideology and Urban Food Security: Zimbabwe's Third Chimurenga
This paper is used to comment on the political, legal and ideological struggles between the Zimbabwean State and an alliance comprised of the Commercial Farmers Union of Zimbabwe (CFU) and the British Government over the country's land reform and the theoretical context in which these processes may be situated. A related and equally important objective of the study is to understand how ordinary Zimbabweans construe the impacts of the unfolding dy…

Women and Education in Sub-Saharan Africa: Power, Opportunities, and Constraints
This volume focuses on gender and education in sub-Saharan Africa, considering in particular the impact formal and non-formal education have had on African women. A variety of country studies illustrate theoretical debates and the authors provide historical and cultural context
The Reverse Transfer of Technology from Sub‐Saharan Africa: The Case of Zimbabwe
The article investigates the potential reverse transfer of technology (brain drain) from Zimbabwe, using as case study, academic staff at the main campus of the University of Zimbabwe. A questionnaire survey was employed to separate all Zimbabwean academic staff into two groups: those who express an intention to emigrate in the near future (1‐3 years) and those who express an intention to stay home. The demographic and socio‐economic characterist…

Women and Education in Africa: An Analysis of Economic and Sociocultural Factors Influencing Observed Trends
Although it has been argued that gender disparities permeate educational systems in Sub-Saharan Africa, there is a paucity of systematic analyses to support these arguments. This study examines women's participation in the educational process in Sub-Saharan Africa, and argues that women are disadvantaged in this vital area of human resource development. It is argued further that women's disenfranchisement in education may not be the direct result…
Overpopulation and Poverty in Africa: Rethinkng the Traditional Relationshp
This paper questions whether population growth should be held responsible for poverty in Africa or whether it simply intensifies the negative impacts of resource maldistribution. Current thinking on the population-poverty equation and the relationship between population growth and standards of living are explored. Further, central arguments of mainstream orthodox population analyses; parameters of resource exchange affecting population analysis; …
Implications of Liberalization Policies for Agricultural Development in Sub-Saharan Africa
The 1980s have been characterized by strong advocacy for liberalization policies that attempt to expand the boundaries of the market and to reduce the role of the state in economic activity in developing countries. Such a drive is based on the assumption that less interventionist economies outperform interventionist ones. This study has a dual objective. It attempts to test this assumption using the agricultural sector of African countries and ex…
African Cities in Crisis: Managing Rapid Urban Growth
The Reverse Transfer of Technology from Sub-Saharan Africa to the United States
This study documents and evaluates the so-called 'brain drain' from sub-Saharan Africa to the United States during the period 1974-85. The objective is to use the available data to provide some insights into the rôle of this region in the international labour market for trained personnel. This is done by comparing the relative volume, pattern, and trend of migration to the United States from a sample of 17 countries against that for Africa as a w…
Evaluating Public Policy Costs in Rural Development Planning: The Example of Health Care in Sierra Leone
Rural Development Planning in Less Developed Countries, especially in Africa, has followed a pattern since colonial times that concentrates public service facilities in urban administrative centers. In many of these countries most of the population lives in rural areas. Public facility location at urban administrative centers may therefore have associated social welfare costs. There is a need to explore the possibility of locating public services…
