The training of most planners in developing countries, and particularly in Africa, has been doomed by developed countries whose perceptions of developing countries have not taken into account the environmental realities of these countries.

Graduates from former colonies have also, in most...

Two features mark the education sector in many LDCs today: first, education is publicly provided; and second, governments are faced with severe financial constraints.

To mitigate these adverse outcomes, we consider user charges as a means to mobilize additional resources for education. Under the circumstances that characterize mosts LDCs, we show that (i) families are willing to pay for education: (ii) the...

In the assessment of the bacteriological quality of water from 1,500 drills World has not in Burkina-Faso, three methods have been analyzed comparatively. The first, relying upon bacterial production of H2S as indicator of faecal pollution and proposed by Indian workers, has been found unreliable for determining water potability. The second, based upon the nitrate content of water, is unable to reveal water contamination by human and animal excreta. The third method, employing a membrane...

Ages of potassic, undersaturated lavas from the Karisimbi volcano have been obtained by applying unspiked potassium-argon dating. All age determinations from this study range between 0.14 ± 0.06 and 0.010 ± 0.007 Ma, constraining the formation of the main cone and its parasitic structures to the Late Pleistocene. The history of the volcano, as it has been reconstructed considering the field relationships, can be confirmed by the obtained ages.

Abstract Two studies of the utility of Eysenckian scale constructs for male African university students are reported. One confirms the previous findings that the EPQ, with some item changes, remains substantially reliable across cultures.

Abstract The training and development of public service employees is now accepted to be a major contributor to organizational performance. In the Third World, however, much of the training effort has been directed at junior, supervisory and middle‐level personnel. Top personnel were, for a long time, presumed to be ‘above training’.
