This book was released on 1996-08-30 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a penetrating comparative analysis of the economic development efforts of West African countries. It seeks to illuminate the grey areas in development and to emphasize the appropriate actions that should be taken at all levels in the emerging international economy to ensure sustainable development. Olaniyan examines conceptual and theoretical problems of foreign aid and economic development, along with the limitations of the concept of self-reliance. The book also features a comparative analysis of the internal and external development problems associated with West African countries, including difficulties of collective self-reliance at the subregional level. Olaniyan concludes that there are prospects for sustainable development in the area, especially if it is internally generated.
Download or read book The Impacts of Foreign Aid on Development of Self Reliance written by Zaume Matthew and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-27 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sub-Sahara Africa lives in the hope of aid in which those who have ought to give to those without, both mentally and financially. Despite Aid's many years of existence in Africa, the Sub-Saharan African Countries continue to be poor. The problem is that Development of Self-Reliant Initiatives (SRIs) in some Sub-Saharan African Countries and institutions is constrained due to continued reception and reliance on foreign aid, thereby creating dependence on foreign-ready-made solutions to local needs. The book suggests various ways towards achieving self-reliance. Types of aid-tied donations identified include: emergency food stuff, emergency non-food items, emergency water supply, emergency shelter, emergency health and emergency education. The book recommends that the management of African countries and institutions should devise home grown approaches to raise money required towards development of SRIs in a bid to reducing over dependence on donor aid. Also important to mention is empowerment through regular capacity building to harness the needed expertise from among locals for local development purposes.
Download or read book Lethal Aid written by Severine Mushambampale Rugumamu and published by Africa World Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite massive infusions of financial and technical assistance from the northern hemisphere, Africa is worse off today - economically, societally, and environmentally - than it was 30 years ago. But were economic development, poverty alleviation, and democracy ever actually the objectives of either donor or recipient states in the first place? To what extent was the limitless potential of the self-reliance strategy foreclosed by the corrupting power of foreign aid? As much as military power, propaganda, or diplomacy, "aid" is - realistically and essentially - one of the economic instruments of statecraft and, as such, has historically been used as a policy tool for various attempts at influence. While policies and strategies on both sides of the aid process may give primacy of place to development, actual practice almost invariably reveals the opposite, as donor and recipient alike employ aid resources to pursue their respective national, class, or even regime interests. Through the Tanzanian experience of "Big Brother's" helping hand, the author examines the true role of foreign aid in the development process and exposes certain widely-held myths about that role.

Book excerpt: Assessing Aid determines that the effectiveness of aid is not decided by the amount received but rather the institutional and policy environment into which it is accepted. It examines how development assistance can be more effective at reducing global poverty and gives five mainrecommendations for making aid more effective: targeting financial aid to poor countries with good policies and strong economic management; providing policy-based aid to demonstrated reformers; using simpler instruments to transfer resources to countries with sound management; focusing projects oncreating and transmitting knowledge and capacity; and rethinking the internal incentives of aid agencies.

Download or read book The Great Escape written by Angus Deaton and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Nobel Prize–winning economist tells the remarkable story of how the world has grown healthier, wealthier, but also more unequal over the past two and half centuries The world is a better place than it used to be. People are healthier, wealthier, and live longer. Yet the escapes from destitution by so many has left gaping inequalities between people and nations. In The Great Escape, Nobel Prize–winning economist Angus Deaton—one of the foremost experts on economic development and on poverty—tells the remarkable story of how, beginning 250 years ago, some parts of the world experienced sustained progress, opening up gaps and setting the stage for today's disproportionately unequal world. Deaton takes an in-depth look at the historical and ongoing patterns behind the health and wealth of nations, and addresses what needs to be done to help those left behind. Deaton describes vast innovations and wrenching setbacks: the successes of antibiotics, pest control, vaccinations, and clean water on the one hand, and disastrous famines and the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the other. He examines the United States, a nation that has prospered but is today experiencing slower growth and increasing inequality. He also considers how economic growth in India and China has improved the lives of more than a billion people. Deaton argues that international aid has been ineffective and even harmful. He suggests alternative efforts—including reforming incentives to drug companies and lifting trade restrictions—that will allow the developing world to bring about its own Great Escape. Demonstrating how changes in health and living standards have transformed our lives, The Great Escape is a powerful guide to addressing the well-being of all nations.

Download or read book Re Inventing Africa s Development written by Jong-Dae Park and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book analyses the development problems of sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) from the eyes of a Korean diplomat with knowledge of the economic growth Korea has experienced in recent decades. The author argues that Africa's development challenges are not due to a lack of resources but a lack of management, presenting an alternative to the traditional view that Africa's problems are caused by a lack of leadership. In exploring an approach based on mind-set and nation-building, rather than unity – which tends to promote individual or party interests rather than the broader country or national interests – the author suggests new solutions for SSA's economic growth, inspired by Korea's successful economic growth model much of which is focused on industrialisation. This book will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, NGOs and governmental bodies in economics, development and politics studying Africa's economic development, and Korea's economic growth model.

Download or read book Targeted Development written by Sarah Bermeo and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a globalizing world, the world's wealthiest nations have found it increasingly difficult to insulate themselves from the residual impacts associated with underdevelopment abroad. Many of the ills associated with, and exacerbated by, underdevelopment cannot be confined within national borders. In Targeted Development, Sarah Blodgett Bermeo shows how wealthy states have responded to this problem by transforming the very nature of development policy. Instead of funding development projects that enhance human well-being in the most general sense, they now pursue a "targeted" strategy: advocating development abroad when and where it serves their own interests. In an era in which the ideology of "globalism" is in decline, targeted development represents a fundamental shift toward a realpolitik approach to foreign aid. Devising development plans that ultimately protect and benefit industrialized donor states now drives the agenda, while crafting effective solutions for deep-seated problems in the neediest nations is increasingly an afterthought.
