Abstract xv,132p.:ill - Available literature on the existing infrastructure and social services delivery situation in Sub-Saharan Africa show that apart from the age old problem of unbalanced distribution between the urban and rural areas, there is a widening gap between demand for and the supply of these basic social services. In the predicament, the rural areas are the worst affected. The growing inability of governments in Sub-Saharan Africa to meet these basic social services needs is one reason for the search for alternative strategies including donor assistance to support participatory community based self-help initiatives. These alternative approaches are not without problems. The issue of whether the communities have the requisites capacities to undertake such initiatives, and if they do not, whether conscious efforts are being made to build their capacities to accomplish the tasks expected of them in this self-help approach are only two of such problems under investigation in this study. - Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Library,Kumasi,Ghana.
