Recent agents of change have been the countries' own government- supported doctors, teachers, and land reform officers. Modern technologies such as motor vehicles, gasoline-powered water pumps, radio, television, andmost recentlythe Internet and cell phones have modified old patterns of living.

Improved roads and communications have in turn carried urban influences to villages, prompting villagers to become more integrated into the national society.
