To reverse the economic decline that began in the 1970s, many sub-Saharan African countries have undertaken structural adjustment programs. These programs are designed to pave the way for long-term development and prosperity by fundamentally restructuring African economies. Continent-wide growth of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita remains low, however, leading many to question the effectiveness of adjustment efforts. But is this poor performance the result of a failure to reform policies or a failure of those policies to restore growth? To address this question, the report examines the extent of policy reforms and their impact on growth and poverty in twenty-nine sub-Saharan countries that were undergoing adjustment in the second half of the 1980s.
