What Foreign Aid Can and Cant Do in Africa

Meer over het boek

The book provides a critical analysis of the effectiveness of foreign aid in Africa, focusing on Ghana's experiences, particularly during the Structural Adjustment Program. It explores the cultural dimensions of development, arguing that aid must consider local contexts to be effective. Aimed at a broad audience, including students and policymakers, it seeks to explain the limited positive outcomes of foreign assistance and offers insights for future interventions. The concise format makes it accessible for those interested in the socio-economic dynamics of Africa.
