Unique challenges; the pathfinders; "we are the ones who have turned this country into a desert"; facing the challenges - economic, agricutural and structural; the new Africa on the move; peasant power - village groups in the making; from aid to partnership; a new future in the making; "M'bathakins" (let's pull together); creating opportunity - or when ants carry elephants; son and daughter mills; the African farmer as inventor; "nothing is impossible" or the end of hunger by the year 2000; Achilles' Heel; towards another development.
For the past 15 years, Africa has seen remarkable change. New energies, new experiences, a burst of creativity, a courage defying explanation are being manifested by millions of people. Especially in the villages, a silent revolution is underway that is changing the continent's developmental landscape. In tropical Africa, literally millions of farmers have moved to take the future into their own hands and to reclaim the self-reliance that was theirs until the disruption of colonial occupation and the post-independence era of rapid modernization. As a result of the tens of thousands of small village projects that they have initiated, these farmers are improving their living conditions.
