Book Description
The Beyond Inequalities series presents the situation of women and men in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) as a region, and in each member country; and reviews the roles and responsibilities, access to and control over resources, decision-making powers, needs and constraints of women vis-a-vis men. The series is forward looking, based on an assessment that inequalities are now generally acknowledged as an impediment to development and economic growth in most countries and regions of the world. The twelve country profiles document and analyse information along themes drawn from the Critical Areas of Concern identified in the Beijing Platform for Action and derived from what the countries of the region consider to be priorities. Each profile is in three parts: Situation Analysis, Policies and Programmes, and the Way Forward, and each has references, bibliography, appendices, and illustrative tables, figures and boxes.
A Report to the Congress on Development Needs and Opportunities for Cooperation in Southern Africa

Book Description
In March 1979 the US Agency for International Development presented a voluminous report (39 volumes) to the Congress. The report consists of study papers on economic sectors, problem areas and nine individual countries in Southern Africa, prepared by consultants and contractors from a wide range of firms and academic institutions. The summary report is an overall document focusing on regional development prospects and priorities for US assistance. It contains some useful data, but suffers from inadequate consultation with the governments or liberation movements of several of the countries (Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia) as well as from lack of explicit discussion of political constraints to development, economic independence and a strategy for meeting "basic needs". This is particularly evident in the report on Namibia, which is very much a US perspective of what the needs of the Namibian people are and what opportunities an independent Namibia opens for the US. The study is based on the assumption that Namibia is likely to receive foreign assistance if the new government is acceptable to the UN "as well as the US and other Western powers", and that "a gradual and orderly disentanglement of the links between the two countries (Namibia and South Africa) could be accomplished without affecting Namibia's development". The strength of the report lies in the identification of some of the main economic constraints, as well as in the discussion of the potentially vital role an independent Namibia could play in a regional strategy. When it comes to specific recommendations for economic policies and priorities of assistance, the report can be regarded as a prescription for a capitalist-oriented course with more emphasis on export potential than on internal needs. There is a special review section on the reports in Rural Africana, nos. 4-5, 1979: p. 131-59. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).
