Scenarios project several possible pictures of the future. Unlike forecasts based on trend extrapolation,they do not predict what will happen but tell what could happen within a certain probabilityspace over time. In recent years, scenario building has been used extensively to explore thepotential effects of socio-economic and environmental change. The community of scenariobuilding practice uses a variety of techniques, ranging from purely quantitative techniques, i.e.computer simulations, to purely qualitative techniques, such as explorative or normative scenariotechniques. A group of hybrid techniques, including cross-impact analysis and the Delphi method,combine quantitative and qualitative elements in the scenario building process.Rural transformation, understood as a long-term process of change in fundamental features ofthe way people in rural areas live and act economically, considering their embedding in societaland global dynamics, is a complex phenomenon determined by a variety of interrelated political,economic, demographic, socio-cultural and environmental factors. Hence, building systemicscenarios of rural transformation requires a selection of important factors and the analysis oftheir mutual interdependencies. Analysing key forces behind identified influencing factors – policies,actors, institutions, regimes – allows deriving strategic recommendations to work towardsrural transformation in the desired direction.In this paper, the methodological approach to develop scenarios of rural transformation in sub-Saharan Africa will be described. On the one hand, this includes a discussion of existing techniquesfor scenario building, their characteristics and requirements. On the other hand, the paperprovides detailed practical guidance on the chosen technique and concludes with an evaluationof its application in the field.

Die vorliegende Studie zum Strukturwandel in Subsahara Afrika versteht sich als konzeptioneller Beitrag zum Forschungsvorhaben „Ländlichen Strukturwandel in Afrika sozial inklusiv und ökologisch nachhaltig gestalten“. Ziel der Studie ist es, Trends des ländlichen Strukturwandels in Subsahara Afrika (SSA) aufzuzeigen, deren Einflussfaktoren zu identifizieren sowie die aktuellen Debatten zur Gestaltung dieses Strukturwandels zu skizzieren und vor dem Hintergrund der Ergebnisse der empirischen Analyse zu bewerten. Die Makroanalyse des postkolonialen Strukturwandels in SSA zeigte, dass trotz einer – in etwa mit dem Bevölkerungszuwachs einhergehenden – Verdreifachung der Agrarproduktion seit 1960 und zunehmender Verstädterung ein Strukturwandel, gemessen an den gängigen Indikatoren (Produktivitätssteigerung in der Landwirtschaft, Verlagerung zwischen den Sektoren), bisher nur in sehr verhaltenem Maße stattgefunden hat. Noch immer leben nahezu zwei Drittel aller Haushalte überwiegend von der Landwirtschaft. Die Produktionssteigerung basierte weitgehend auf einer Zunahme kleinbäuerlicher Produzenten, die zusätzliche Flächen mit nahezu unveränderten Techniken bewirtschafteten. Die Verstädterung beruht überwiegend auf einer Verlagerung der Einkommensquellen innerhalb der diversifizierten ländlich-städtischen Lebenshaltungssysteme zugunsten nicht-landwirtschaftlicher Einkommen. Diese resultieren überwiegend aus unproduktiven, informellen und unsicheren Tätigkeiten und bieten deshalb i.d.R. keine Alternative, sondern nur eine Ergänzung zu den landwirtschaftlichen Einkommensquellen. Die mangelnde Dynamik des Wachstums hinreichender und gesicherter nicht-landwirtschaftlicher Einkommensquellen in SSA bildete also das Haupthindernis für einen beschleunigten Strukturwandel. Seit 2008 zeichnen sich aber als Resultat steigender globaler Agrargüternachfrage und sich verknappender natürlicher Ressourcen Tendenzen zu einem beschleunigten ländlichen Strukturwandel in Form einer Intensivierung der Agrarproduktion ab. Dessen sozial inklusive und ökologisch nachhaltige Gestaltung erfordert es, dass die große Mehrzahl auch der ärmeren Kleinbauern in einen Prozess der ökologischen Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft einbezogen wird. Komplementär dazu bedarf es der Schaffung verbesserter nicht-landwirtschaftlicher Einkommensmöglichkeiten. Eine Strategie der Freisetzung von Arbeitskräften aus der Landwirtschaft hingegen führt zu sozialer Exklusion solange es zu keiner dynamischen Entwicklung produktiver außerlandwirtschaftlicher Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten kommt.

The present study on rural transformation in Sub-Saharan Africa is understood as a conceptual con-tribution to the research project “Towards a Socially Inclusive and Ecologically Sustainable Rural Transformation in Africa”. Its purpose is to show rural transformation trends in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), to identify the drivers, to outline current debates on its design and to assess this against the backdrop of empirical findings. Macro-analysis of post-colonial transformation in SSA shows that despite burgeoning urbanization and the tripling of agricultural production since the 1960s – roughly in tune with population growth – only an extremely mild form of transformation has taken place so far when measured against conventional indicators (agricultural productivity growth, shifts between sectors). Almost two-thirds of all households still live foremost from the land. Heightened produc-tion was widely based on a growth in the agricultural labour force, which cultivated additional crop land with virtually unaltered methods. Urbanization, on balance, is the result of a shift in sources of income within diversified rural-urban livelihood systems from farm to off-farm income. The latter stems primarily from informal, unproductive and often precarious activities, and must be considered a supplement rather than a genuine alternative to on-farm sources of income. Lack of dynamic growth in stable off-farm income-generating activities was therefore the chief stumbling block to rapid structural change in SSA. Accelerated rural transformation in the form of intensified farm pro-duction, however, is a trend that has been observed since 2008 and was brought about by rising global demands for agricultural goods and a growing scarcity of natural resources. Shaping this transformation sustainably calls for inclusion of the overwhelming majority of poor small-scale farmers in a process of ecology-based farm intensification. Coupled with this is the need for en-hanced off-farm sources of income. A strategy that focuses on the exit of farm labour from agricul-ture, however, will lead to social exclusion unless vibrant growth in productive off-farm employment opportunities is forthcoming.
