Abstract: The present work focuses on psychological training, mindset change and development in Africa. The objective is to show that the development of Africa requires a change in the mentalities of the African populations through training in psychology. Indeed, Africa suffers from many ills that hamper its growth. And these ills are the work of man in general. He lives in a plural society but behaves as if he were the centre of gravity of the earth. Society should function as he thinks, as he wants it to, hence a characteristic individualism that generates many interpersonal, intergroup, intragroup conflicts, etc. Psychology, as a science of behaviour and mental processes, aims at bringing people to understand themselves, each other, integrate and live together. This is why training in psychology would lead people to change their mentalities, to see things as they are and thus tend towards the expected development.
