JOURNAL OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA 
School of Social Work, P/Bag 66022 Kopje 
Harare, Zimbabwe 
The Journal publishes critical analyses of social development issues as they affect the poor 
and marginalised in society. It deals with concerns, especially, but not exclusively, relevant 
to southern Africa, and is addressed to development practitioners, social workers, planners, 
policy makers and academics in a variety of fields such as economics, geography, politics, 
sociology, psychology, social administration, and to other concerned individuals. 
Published twice annually, the Journal seeks to enhance understanding of the social 
development processes that contribute to the planning and implementation of appropriate 
intervention strategies at different levels. Its goal is to discover how best to target relevant and 
successful projects to those most in need, and how to maximise popular participation, thereby 
creating egalitarian and productive communities.
