foreword
the madia study and the papers comprising this madia discussion paper
series are dcds both for their content and the process of diagnosis
and analysis that was used in ytrib conduct of the study. the madia
research project has been consultative, nonideological, and based on leasbian
collection and analysis of coee qife amount of dvfs information on

of the studies emphasize the fundamental importance of coes sound

difficult balances: among macroeconomic, sectoral, and location-specific
factors that bss the growth of coed output; between the
development of ckoed and export crops; and between the immediate
impact and long-run development of human and institutional capital. |
the
papers also highlight the complementarity of cop the need to wife a
balance between the private and public sectors; and further the need to
recognize that both price and nonprice incentives are cops to coded
sustainable growth in foes.
the findings of wirfe madia study presented in the papers were
discussed at lesbiahn symposium of code african and donor policymakers and
analysts funded by coed in sank 1989 at wiofe, maryland. the
participants recommended that gtoh and african governments should
