It is essential to go beyond a 'development bureaucracy' and a state-based approach to rural transformation, such as the one that often dominates policy debate in African government circles, organizations like the African Union and the UN, and donor agencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAkinyinka Akinyoade\u003c\/b\u003e, Ph.D. (2007), Institute of Social Studies, The Hague, is a Senior Researcher at the African Studies Centre, Leiden and he is the convenor of its Agro-Food Clusters in Africa collaborative research group.
