A brief exploration of unique issues in intergenerational relationships in Sub-Saharan Africa

Prior to the establishment of contacts with the outside world beginning from the 11 century AD, Sub-Saharan Africa had always cultivated and maintained a vigorous and sustained intergenerational relationships through its well known and extended family institutions and philosophy of extensive communal living. Today, whatever was left of our intergenerational relationship has been affected on one part by dramatic demographic transformation largely because of the HIV/AIDS pandemic we are faced with and then migration surge and globalization on the other in terms of how these factors have been altering, to a large extent, our values and norms. This brief paper explores the dominant and unique issues in intergeneration of relationships and action in Sub-Saharan Africa with a view to highlighting, in the main, the contextual evolution, patterns, trends, policy contexts, best practices, emergent major challenges and their implications for policy formulation.
