If there is no development, social work is not important. If you have to solve the problems of people, you have to work for development as well as for social work. What I mean is that social work to be effective has to be sustainable.
People have to be self autonomous, they have to help themselves, and that is development.
In social work, you give them a support, you give a guidance, you facilitate the development process. So for me, social work is the other side of development. You have to bring these two, to solve problems of people for the long time. If you say social work, my perception of social work is different of perception of social work in Europe. In Europe you might have to work with psychological people, but in Africa social work has to focus on the poverty, the problem of people.
