| Abstract: | This study considers two special measures, differing from traditional forms of employment and vocational training, which are part of a policy based on recognition of the fact that for a very long time the development of the Mali nation will have to be almost exclusively founded on agriculture: The Civic Service, proposed by the young members of the Sudanese Union Party, following a trip to Israel, before Mali became independent (its aims are set forth in Decree no. 247 P.G.-R.M. of 21 December 1963), and the 'Work for Honour' programme, often called 'human investment', namely works carried out by the local population without wages. This programme is not regulated by special legislation; it was proclaimed in the introductory report on the first five-year plan in 1961 and in President Modibo Keita's appeal to the nation, which launched the plan. In his conclusions the author singles out some typical features of the measures and also discusses the experience already gained. Notes. |
