Informal Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a key role in their respective economies over the world particularly in the African continent. This paper reviews various theories on SMEs towards understanding the potential of the informal sector in the context of African countries. The paper uses a theoretical approach for the purpose of assessing the challenges that have affected the development of the informal SMEs sector over the years in both the developing and developed world. Economically developing countries in Africa pose unique challenges to informal SMEs development compared to the developed countries. The paper reviews the theories that define the rise to informality in Africa by identifying the key determinants for the emergence of informal SMEs. A conceptual framework for assessing informal SME’s potential for Africa is developed. The conceptual framework is based on the Fishbone diagram developed by Kaoru Ishikawa (1986). This paper discusses the intricacies of the applicability of the proposed conceptual framework to assess the potential of the informal SMEs in Africa and the way forward for the formalization debate.

The limited efforts made in Zambia at integrated rural development and at explicit spatial planning to decentralise manufacturing have been overwhelmed by the geographical effects of sectoral policies, such as importsubstitution industrialisation (Musampa, 1989), which functioned typically to reinforce continuing growth in the primate urban centre.…”

A comparative study is pursued of key aspects of urban management in decolonizing Southem Africa, using case study material from Harare, Lusaka and Windhoek. Because of their origins as colonial cities, South African urban policy-rnakers potentially can draw from the policy record of decolonization in Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe in smoothing the transition from apartheid city to post-apartheid urban future. Issues of concern are the evolution and dismantling of closed city policies, the role of urban centres in national development planning, the provision of shelter and productive income opportunities for the urban poor.
