Zusammenfassung:The author reviews the evolution of rural development policy and planning in Zimbabwe within three periods: 1890-1977; 1977-1980; 1980-1989. Two components have emerged: internal development within Communal Areas; resettlement of peasant farmers mainly onto former white farmland. Despite marked political and ideological changes, rural planning and policy have shown some continuity in outlook and procedures. Recent progress in peasant agricultural production is encouraging, but the problems of increasing population pressures seem intractable and to be worsening in many Communal Areas. (DÜI-Sth)
