Abstract:History of the Organisation for the Management and Development of the Kagera River Basin, established in 1977, highlighting the causes for its formation, the way it has so far functioned, and some problems it has encountered. The author argues that the Organisation will not be able to reach its goal of combatting underdevelopment as long as it is based on a neo-functionalist approach. This approach has an in-built vertical integration dynamic which links the region to the capitalist North, thus exacerbating exploitation and dependence. Notes.
