It makes a preliminary assessment of the transferability of local economic development (LED) and rural territorial development (RTD) approaches to other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa such as Mozambique, Zambia and Ghana. In each case the role of the drivers of change, rural-urban linkages, and livelihood strategies of rural households are emphasized; kinds of social networks and alliances are also considered.Text1 digital file (46 p.)enRURAL DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTRURAL AREASRURAL ECONOMYPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONAFRICA SOUTH OF SAHARAIDRC Final Report
