Abstract: | The during the 2nd World War accepted British policy of planning for economic and welfare development in the colonies led to the tenyear plans for Nigeria and Sierra Leone. For the Gold Coast only a draft plan was produced. To equate any of these ten-year plans with national economic planning would be erroneous; the term 'plan' was used as an umbrella description for what in effect was for each territory ten-year departmental expansion programmes to which funds were allocated. This does not mean that the plans are of no historical significance. After a short period or time plan revision became necessary. Presented here are the essential details or the unrevised plans as well as an account or the preceding period: The background (incl. the Burns Plan of 1944); The Ten-Year Plans (plan priorities; plan details); Planning institutions. Plan evaluation. Ref., tables. |
