    PART B: ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS

    Assignment 1
    Bearing in mind that agriculture is the premier economic activity in rural communities, the
    challenge that most African governments face is not to find an effective way of distributing
    agricultural inputs, free or not free, but to create a cadre of farmers who are capable to partake
    farming at high level and along market forces.
    Discuss this statement with reference to various initiatives that were implemented by selected
    African governments to stimulate agriculture and rural development. (100)
