Summary:

Analysis of structural adjustment & its impact on the economies of Sub-Saharan Africa has made considerable progress over the last few years. Debate has shown that liberalization alone is not sufficient to restore sustained growth to the region. This publication presents a study on the impact of liberalization on key markets in Sub-Saharan Africa. It assesses the rate of implementation & the efficiency of structural adjustment programmes in view of the financial & institutional constraints prevailing across the region. It also presents three case studies of food marketing in Tanzania, Malawi & Kenya. These countries, with three different reform paths, provide valuable policy lessons.
