Resumen
Descripción
Rural development has mainly been associated with agriculture, which is still the cornerstone of rural economies in West Africa3. However, while agricultural activity remains a major consumer of rural land and resources, it generates fewer and fewer jobs and the nature of the rural communities in this region is increasingly moving towards greater diversity in terms of land use and economic and non-economic activities. The pace and scope of these changes vary considerably across West Af rica, where higher population density is observed around city and coastal development poles.
