"Why hasn't foreign aid made Africa richer?"

Nonsense. I lived in Africa. Its the corruption.

Not all of them, but a lot of NGOs are there to collect money from donators and. That's it. It ends there.

Because Africa is being intentional exploited.

Africa wasn’t rebuilt like Europe after ww2 that had pre existing working systems in place that could be held to accountability.

They have wanton corruption and the people at the top just take the money.

Corporations and foreign interests get what they want with the money they provide and don’t care what happens after that. It’s also a system that allows countries there to be kept in perpetual debt. Which is also profit for them.

It’s basically ghetto economics on a grand scale.

Stop treating Africa like it’s a single country, with 3000 different languages 54 countries, years of extortion corruptions it’s more complex than just giving them money

Now China is in Africa under the guise that they're 'better than the west' yet they only employ Chinese laborers and when the natural resources are all gone those Chinese factories will close and those workers will go back to China

Mali have a lot of cotton. They could have produced clothes and exported it

The aid has to get to the people to help the people!

The same as the corruption we see in Haiti.

From my experience it's the corruption 99.123% of times. The rest is the ripple effect of that

CORRUPTION 🤷🏽‍♀️

Clothing "donations". Translation - we're sending our overproduced garbage to you so we don't have to deal with it under the guise of "good will".
