Abstract
This study reviewed the problems and strategies for achieving sustainable rural development with particular emphasis to Bauchi state, Nigeria. The problems ranged from economic to sociological in dimensions. The strategies however include the means of improving employment opportunities of the poor, investment in human capital, increasing access to productive assets, raising the return on assets and supplementing resources with transfers and safety nets. Thus, rural development programmes in Bauchi state Nigeria, have to be sustainable, if their anticipated impact is to be felt.
