Preface

This Multimedia ebook for Geography Rest of Africa has been produced for all geographers ranging from teachers, students, researchers and curriculum developer. It meets the requirements of the Geography syllabus for Uganda certificate of Education and provides the skills required of a geography student. It has been methodically written with keen focus on what the examiner wants from candidates to pass their final examinations.

This new edition covers the syllabus for the Rest of Africa using a topic to topic structure. The approach used is just straightforward, to the point and trouble-free for a student to appreciate the facts and skills in an examination time. The candidates should however read this book in relation to other textbooks. This book is compulsory for quick revision. An attempt has been made to answer all the questions satisfactorily with the necessary maps, graphs and pie- charts.

To the students, teachers and other curious geographers, this is a book, which flashes light into your geography syllabus for the Rest of Africa and examines all the physical, social and economic activities that have either promoted or hampered the development of our continent. Try to develop your talent as a contemporary geographer by reading this book keenly. I am sure that you will benefit a lot without regret.

I wish to express my sincere thanks to the authors of the text books that I consulted to be able to complete this book. I wish to thank fellow Geographers for their brotherly advise and encouragement.

In a special way, I have to thank the management of KAWA publishers for the kind acceptance to publish this book in a short time. Without this contribution this book would not have seen the light of the day.

I welcome positive criticisms, which are intended to improve even further the quality of this work.
