Mabogunje, Akin L. 2004. "Framing the Fundamental Issues of Sustainable Development in Sub-Saharan Africa." CID Working Paper No. 104. Cambridge, MA: Sustainable Development Program, Center for International Development, Harvard University; also published as TWAS Working Paper 1. Trieste, Italy: Third World Academy of Sciences.
This paper frames the fundamental issues of sustainable development in sub-Saharan Africa. It begins by considering the general problems of development in sub-Saharan Africa and then frames the issues as the maintenance or enhancement of the region's capital stocks. The author describes the integration of the region into the global capitalist economy and considers how to integrate science and technology into the development culture of the region through greater concern with social learning. A concluding section reflects on the imperative of a new value and cultural orientation if sub-Saharan Africa is to meet the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations and those of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) articulated by African governments themselves. http://www.cid.harvard.edu/cidwp/104.htm
