Why, despite decades of high levels of foreign aid, has development
been so disappointing in most of Sub-Saharan Africa, leading to
rising numbers of poor and fueling political instabilities? While
not ignoring the culpability of Africans in these problems, Carol
Lancaster finds that much of the responsibility is in the hands of
the governments and international aid agencies that provide
assistance to the region. The first examination of its kind, "Aid
to Africa" investigates the impact of bureaucratic politics,
special interest groups, and public opinion in aid-giving countries
and agencies. She finds that aid agencies in Africa often
misdiagnosed problems, had difficulty designing appropriate
programs that addressed the local political environment, and failed
to coordinate their efforts effectively.
This balanced but tough-minded analysis does not reject the
potential usefulness of foreign aid but does offer recommendations
for fundamental changes in how governments and multilateral aid
agencies can operate more effectively.
