Abstract

This chapter introduces the various dimensions to regional development in Africa. It starts off by highlighting why regional development matters and the important components of the development process. It further highlights the regional dimension of Africa's development in some important sectors, particularly the role of energy, urbanization, consumption, intra-African migration, and trade in Africa's development process. The adverse effect of conflicts, protests, riots, and demonstrations in Africa's development process resulting from issues of resource constraints and scarcity (of food, fuel, and water) was also addressed. It concludes by pointing out the challenges to development and the need for citizen participation in the development process.
