3 JOURNAL OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA School of Social Work P/Bag 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 Mrica, and 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 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.
