The journal will publish 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, arid is addressed to 
development practitioners, social workers, planners and policy makers, 
academics in a variety of fields such as economics, geography, politics, 
sociology, psychology, social administration and to otiici 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.
