 These two studies, within the Nordic Africa Institute's research programme on 'The Political and Social Context of Structural Adjustment in Africa' , are part of the continued attention worldwide to the real impact of structural adjustment policies. Such studies contribute to a more detailed knowledge of the impact of structural adjustment policies in particular areas, and in so doing help to reduce the myths surrounding such impacts. They also tend to pinpoint the usually negative effects of such policies on specific sections of the community, contributing to even harder lives for many already hard-pressed families.
