- Description:
- The study explains how the Voluntary Workcamps Association of Ghana (VWAG) contributes to rural development by mobilising the youth to provide free services during their leisure time. The paper contends that local non-governmental organisations can play a pivotal role in rural development as a supplement to the efforts of the government. The success of the VWAG offers several lessons in rural development that can serve as a model for other developing nations.

- Description:
- This paper addresses the question of how housing cooperatives might contribute to women's shelter and development by presenting some of the results of a study of five urban housing co-operatives conducted in Zimbabwe. The differences between three male-only and two mixed-gender organisations are described and evidence is presented which suggests that housing co-ops hold potential as providers of shelter for women and other low-income groups. The nature of women's membership and participation in the co-ops is discussed and suggestions provided on how housing cooperatives could improve women's access to shelter, while also playing a role in women's social development.

- Description:
- The paper examines the administrative policies and political actions of the earlier administrators in Nigeria. The account reveals that regional inequalities in the country evolved during the one hundred years 1861-1960 of British Colonial Administration. Nonetheless, the activities of various ethno-linguistic groups and petite bourgeoisie especially after political independence in 1960 reinforced and even aggravated the regional inequality formation. The policy recommendations in this paper call for individual and regional equity based on consensual sociopolitical and economic policies which are likely to promote a change that is desirable. Such policies include: people-centred development strategies for sustainable growth, distributive measures geared toward employment and income generation, abatement of ethnocentrism and the creation of regional balance through administrative decentralisation.
