The UN had a commercial about aid to Africa and they showed an old man. The question was why don’t we help this old man and the answer was we did when he was a child. So after giving aid for over 60 years the problem still wasn’t solved.

if you take away a Child's ability to feel pain they won't learn to avoid doing the things that are causing the pain. thoughtlessly trying to help people may instead hinder their development.

It isn’t just aid. It is a well paradox that the oil reserves have the same impact. Governments forced to allow their human capital to fully develop in order to have a revenue base (and bribery base) outperform counties gifted with resources.

Dear Madam, Thank you again for your openness. True, the aid you are referring to is not to what the western commoner contributes. First aid yes, but from every € 1 we contribute to any country in need, that country receives perhaps a 10 to 15%. The rest any government spends for the good cause, has been raised by taxes from yes indeed the western commoners. Too bad, but we get wrong images afterwards of men in arms etc. Just to give you an insight from your "counterpart". Your tone is more than justified and on this appropriate. I would be angry too. Instead of Problems, Options, Solutions: a lot of noncontributing behaviour and undesirable actions are the result. I agree with you, that the aid as you describe promotes dependency. Trade not aid. A lot of westerners embraced the idea. But it turned out in the "wrong" aid for raw materials. Yes pure exploitation and protection of the western indystries In my humble opinion a lot of African countries need to become "make" economies. Yes indeed promote entrepreneurship in many disciplines. But sell at least half fabricates, not just raw materials. It s too much to write this all in a short message. And as incentive too see how rich you can become without any prejudice. I give you an example. An African buddy of mine and me (the "ugly" white guy) worked on a fundanent . Dirty, but good work. After accomplishing digging in the dirt we had the same awareness. We were both grey from top to bottom. There was no difference other than we booked succes by simple cooperation. I wish you all the best

Ms. Magatte, I saw this now. However, it is never late to comment on issues which are very relevant today. The case of Togo vs foreign people of goodwill who want to contribute to ‘prosperity’ in Africa is quite ingenious from the person who Magatte quoted. Space is always a problem so let us use a short list. 1. What is the function of economic suppression in Africa other than to keep African economies so small that they will never generate enough prosperity, from which taxes can be extracted to change those dirt roads five miles outside of Togo’s capital which 'she' identified? 2. Prosperity means expansion and acceleration of the domestic circular flow of income. How would this have been possible during the past 6 decades with the French Pact for the Continuation of Colonisation, and under which; (a.- Togo’s foreign reserves were seized and it did not control its money supply, and its monetary and fiscal policies (b.-when Togo must borrow its own money at commercial interest rates, and when French companies could extract raw materials and export same at prices decided by Frenchmen, without any benefits to Togolese, (c. when Togo imports its food and manufactured goods from France at prices which, cumulatively, cost more than value of exported raw materials. 3. the corruption which she blamed on the Africans originate in Paris. Two potent observations: (i. recently, after the Coup état in Mali, (2021) the reigning head of state, Assimi Goïta, explained to Malians that when he announced that a transitional government was being formed, French president Emanuel Macron called him and told him who Macron wants to lead the transition. Goita said that he rejected Macron’s interference. Evidently, Goita was pointing to a much bigger and much more degenerate and destructive mechanism of manufactured consent; (ii. The consequence of (i. above is what happened in Niger with uranium. A French company paid 0.80 USD per kg to Niger for its uranium while 80 percent of Nigeriens have no access to electricity. With what income would Niger have built an electricity service? No doubt locals in Africa are not saints. Their failure to be what they should be i.e., Thomas Sankara’s “upright men”, is both a product of “(i.-their moral failure as rulers, (ii., but also the product of centuries of socilaisation under foreign criminal enterprises in Africa (slavery, direct and indirect foreign rule- colonialism, Pact for Continuation of Colonisation, apartheid, resource extraction for pittance in aid and military support to remain in power, etc.). The past 130 years of non-Africans directing, dictating, then manipulating who ruled for what price and privileges, and how governance in Africa was done, have created the culture of corruption which was complained against.

You should have a video of first-hand experience with people who have seen money from foreign aid disappear. We used to work in remote eastern DR Congo until we moved to Burundi last year. A few years before we moved there, a large Italian (I believe) organization plus UN donated several million dollars to building a hospital plus Road infrastructure up the mountain. The hospital was started, and someone ran off with most of the money in the road was never touched. it could’ve been a very decent hospital for an entire region, instead, they were stuck with very small NGOs like ours, trying to help them get running water and basic solar, so that they could have water and electricity part time. 🤦🏽♀️ also an organization donated a large generator, because that’s what they wanted to do instead of a small generator that was more practical, and now the hospital can’t even afford to run it because they can’t afford to buy the diesel for it. It’s absolutely idiotic and there’s so many more stories like this, including UN helicopters making trips that are mostly empty of people when they could be filling up with partner and Geos and other things to help people thousands of dollars each trip wasted because of bureaucratic paperwork and tribalism. A story that we have direct knowledge about was the Dutch government donating millions of dollars to several reputable nonprofits for our direct region, and literally 0% of the money, made it to the region. Our local partner even told the Dutch ambassador in person that this happened and he said there was nothing they could do about it once the money left their hands, but they were frustrated. The NGOs excuse was that it was too dangerous and there wasn’t ways to get the aid up, which was ridiculous because we were living there with four children at the time BRING IN AID. 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ I think my husband met a man who was part of that hospital program, so I can double check the story with him. But it be a great investigative episode.

Powerful thumbnail! I knew people who used those containers headed to Africa for tax avoidance. They write off some 15g to donate which cost a few tanks of gas and another company gets the writeoff to ship them. Then Africans get to find some place to throw it away. Waste of gas, waste of time and worse a detriment to businesses. Nobody does well when competing with free. Keep it up!

AID is good for large infrastructure projects towards development,dependency on aid is not a problem at all.The biggest problem with aid is the cannibalistic repayment formula and fluctuating intrest rates pegged on the dollar and other foreign currencies.If you fail to understand this we cannot make any progress with your arguement.America,Britain and France receive bailouts a.k.a AID to sustain their farmers against frost and other vageries of weather.What do African farmers get in times of crop failure?Corruption and violence are moral issues.Let us address the formula of aid disbursement,repayment and and legal housekeeping other things will fall in place.

Я давно пытался понять причину по которой Африка такая нищая. Я знаю примеры стран которые полностью отстраивались после тяжелейшей войны и стали экономическими гигантами. Южная Корея к примеру. И их секрет в том что они все ресурсы вкладывали в образование. А что в Африке с этим? Мне кажется что у людей нету понимания зачем нужно образование. И школу там заканчивают очень мало кто. А девочек родители вообще не пускают учится. И с таким отношением к образованию Африка никогда не достигнет успеха.
