Crisis and Opportunity: Environment and development in Africa (Aid and Development Set)

Winner of the Prix Pierre Chauleur of the French Academie des Sciences d'Outre-Mer  Until some way is found of dealing with Africa's catastrophic environmental crises none of the continent's other problems will find a long-term solution. Yet there is hope, and Crisis and Opportunity sets out a programme for dealing with the problems successfully. Written in a clear and engaging style, the book shows how environmental management can be achieved and institutionalized from within Africa, rather than through interference from the West, by implementing National Environmental Action Plans (NEAPS). Aware of the urgency of the problems, Fran�ois Falloux and Lee Talbot offer practical guidelines based on direct experience and incorporate a great range of relevant case studies and examples. Their book will be of enormous importance to the governments, local communities and development agencies confronting the issues, and may mark a milestone if recovery in Africa is to take place. Fran�ois Falloux is Senior Environmental Advisor, Africa Region at the World Bank. Dr Lee M Talbot is a former Director-General of the World Conservation Union (IUCN). Originally published in 1993

<p>Underlying the strife afflicting Africa, and integral to its failure to develop economically, is massive and widespread environmental degradation and loss of resources. The scale of the problem is increasingly obvious, and the need for solutions ever more urgent. In this book, the authors argue that National Environmental Action Plans (NEAPS), implemented by each country, hold out the best prospects for recovery and for returning control of each country's destiny to its own people. They can lay the foundations of sustainable development, while preserving equally essential cultural values and identity. Part 1 traces the origins of NEAPS; Part 2 analyzes the NEAP processes and problems; Part 3 considers some of the first results and their impact on development; Part 4 explores future directions in environmental planning and management in Africa.</p>
