| dc.description | Contributing to African rural development planning experience fulfils a long passion I have had not only in research but also in wanting to improve the living conditions in rural areas of Africa. I have not only read about and carried out research on African rural development programmes, but also experienced the African rural development landscape in a personal way. I was born and raised in a rural district in Kenya. I have been involved in the ordinary rural life in Kenya. I am always fascinated with the rising of the sun, when my rural community wakes up; the development of the day, when this community gets engaged in several activities; and the setting of the sun, when the community settles down to evening meals and storytelling, and then retires to sleep. I remember well how other boys and I would be tending cattle in the afternoon and evening, while the girls would be fetching water and preparing meals. I remember how we, the young ones, would spend the day at school while our parents would be working on their farms or doing other important life-sustaining activities. The main achievement of this book is in providing a synthesis of research evidence on selected themes in African rural development planning experience. I look at this edition as the first step in a process that may see the authors of this book and/or other researchers updating the chapters and even adding new themes in the coming years. | |
