Look at Africa, not as producers, but as partners. African entrepreneurs are not looking for handouts, but for market space for our products. A continent full of people waiting to do business with the rest of the world.
How as the aid issue been sustained in the face of clear evidence that it does not good? The best case is NO AID. Aid is not really structured; 1995, the year of highest international aid, was the year of the lowest African GNP.
Aid undermines accountability. Last year, Tanzania had 4,000 donor reports and 1,000 donor meetings. AID creates chronic dependency, not jobs or productivity. This dependency undermines the integrity of the recipient countries.
How do we affect change while being compassionate?
