Abstract
Abstract: Since attaining political independence African countries have achieved significant improvements in a number of social welfare indicators. However, the record of socio‐economic development in Africa is generally poor both in absolute terms and in comparison with other regions of the world. Various reasons have been given for Africa's poor development record. This paper suggests that approaches to development management so far adopted in Africa are inadequete, and it propose the conceptual elements for a new approach to development management. Résumé: Depuis leur accès à I'indépendance, un certain nombre d'indicateurs de bien‐être social des pays africains se sont très nettement améliorés. Toutefois, les résultats concernant le développement socio‐économique de l'Afrique est, en règle générale, médiocre en chiffres absolus et si on le compare avec d'autres régions du monde. Pour expliquer ces résultats, divers raisons ont été avancées. Ce document donne à penser que les approches adoptées jusqu'ici en Afrique, touchant la gestion du développement, sont inadaptées à la situation. L'auteur propose donc des éléments conceptuels pour une nouvelle approche de la gestion du développement
