Rural issues in Africa are complex and multifaceted. They relate to economic, social and environmental development alike. The African continent, vast and unevenly populated, has experienced strong population growth over the last fifty years, enabling it to gradually close its demographic gap. This demographic trend is placing increasing pressure on natural resources (water, energy, biomass, land, etc.). The symposium, entitled ‘Rural Issues in Africa: Challenges and Prospects’, aims to provide a forum for reflection, scientific debate and the exchange of experiences between researchers, decision-makers, development practitioners and civil society organisations.
