This book is an anthology of essays contributing new scholarship to the contemporary discourse on the concept of aid. It provides an interdisciplinary investigation of the role of aid in African development, compiling the work of historians, political scientists, legal scholars, and economists to examine where aid has failed and to offer new perspectives on how aid can be made more effective. Questions regarding the effectiveness of aid are addressed here using specific case studies. The question of ownership is examined in the context of two debates: 1) to what extent should aid be designed by the recipient country itself? and 2) should aid focus on “need” or “performance”? That is, should donors direct aid to the poorest countries, regardless of their policies and governance, or should aid “reward” countries for doing the right thing? The future of aid is also addressed: should aid continue to be a part of the development agenda for countries in sub-Saharan Africa? If so, how much and what type of aid is needed, and how it can be made most effective? The major criticism against aid is that it cripples the recipient country’s economic growth by turning it into a passive receiver; in addition, it has been noted that aid is mostly supply-driven, depending upon donors rather than the actual needs of recipients. For this reason, aid may not meet the goals for which it was intended. To meet the needs of the communities they want to help, donors should work through consultation and a measure of recipient ownership. Donors need to understand context, to protect human rights, and to be guided by principles of social and environmental justice. Other suggested strategies for making aid more effective include peer review; self-assessment; the empowerment of women; encouraging accountability; investing in agriculture; helping smallholder subsistence farmers; introducing ethical and professional standards for civil service; and raising the competence of civil servants.

This book considers the promises and challenges of globalization for Africa. Why have African states been perennially unable to diversify their economies and move beyond export of primary produce, even as Southeast Asia has made a tremendous leap into manufacturing? What institutional impediments are in play in African states? What reforms would mitigate the negative effects of globalization and distribute its benefits more equitably? Covering critical themes such as political leadership, security challenges, the creative sector, and community life, essays in this volume argue that the starting point for Africa’s meaningful engagement with the rest of the world must be to look inward, examine Africa’s institutions, and work towards reforms that promote inclusiveness and stability.

The launch of this book African Problems are Self-inflicted the fifth literary work in my collection provides, for me, yet another momentous occasion to reflect on the dire situation in our beloved continent, Africa. When the majority of us took the step, many years back, to venture overseas it was essentially to avoid the significant problems of the times exemplified by social malaise, unstable political climate and plummeting macro-economic fortunes among others. We hoped, optimistically, that things would soon take a turn for the better. Sadly, decades later, Africa seems to be heading further and faster into the abyss without any reprieve in sight. I have chosen to talk on the topic of Leadership crises; Africa's Woe during this short introspective introduction. Frequently, the debate has arisen as to the root cause of Africa's woes. Some afrocentric individuals have sought to attribute the continent's suffering to the twin ills of the slave trade and colonialism. Going further, those belonging to this school of thought reason that the rest of the world, particularly Europe, owes Africa an apology, for starters, along with the wholesale eradication of her foreign indebtedness- the deserved icing on the cake! Then, and only then, in their eyes will the impetus be provided for Africa to begin to assume her rightful place in the community of world nations. Contrary to the above view however, I hold a divergent opinion. Africa's tragedy, to my mind, is not a product of the slave trade. Neither is there any credence in the lame duck colonialism thesis; nor are its problems located in the plague of disease and death besetting its people. To my mind, Africa's biggest trauma lies in the constant constrictions (economic and otherwise) placed on the dreams, hopes and ambitions that Africans have for themselves. The culprits in Africa's malaise are its rulers, the most bombastic of the species that history has ever thrown up. These miscast actors are adept, through their greed, at eroding the best of Africa's promise. It is at the doorsteps of Africa's rulers that the woes and misfortunes should rightly be consigned. Undoubtedly, you are surprised that I have deliberately refrained from engaging the verb 'Leaders' in describing African rulers, heads of states, or presidents, as the case may be. Leadership, after all, means inspiring the people towards achieving corporate goals which serve the common good of the larger society. African rulers, over the years, if anything have abused the levers of power in order to abort the continent's dreams and bloody its people. As I survey the continent, in order to dredge up signposts of remnant promise, I am struck again and again by its misbegotten history. Everywhere I look, there is devastation, death, destitution, and a creeping anarchy: Nigeria, blithely acclaimed by it's misrulers of being "a great nation" is leading the continent in corruption, graft, and wastage of oil resources. Somalia's warlords have shot their nation into oblivion. Sierra-Leone has become a mere shell of a nation, partly run until recently by a limb-hacking mad man called Fraday Sankoh and a collaborative military junta. Liberia until a few days ago was groaning under Charles Taylor's jaundiced notion of state craft. The two Congo's are in a turmoil of war that continues to escalate, defying solution. Like many African rulers before him Robert Mugabe has discovered that Zimbabwe is his personal playground, available to be wrecked as he wishes. Until providence took Jonas Savimbi away, he had staked out Angola as his own territory to rule or destroy. Rwanda is haunted still by the ghosts of 800,000 Tutsis murdered in cold blood, in one of the 20th century's worst genocide. Does it surprise anyone that, in most of Africa, political power has emerged as the only thriving industry? Worse still, those who hanker after power do
