Democratic governance and foreign aid in sub-saharian africa

Antoine Sadia

Description

For a number of decades, governance models imposed by traditional Western donors as a condition for aid to Sub-Saharan Africa have yielded only modest results. China's more recent efforts, by contrast, focus on cooperation with countries in the region to foster their national development. This can establish the conditions that allow improved democratic governance to emerge and flourish locally – but the Chinese model has drawbacks as well as benefits. This book examines and contrasts the two approaches toward Sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting the experience of Côte d'Ivoire.Š

Good governance and sustainable development are indivisible. That is the lesson of all our efforts and experiences, from Africa to Asia to Latin America. Without good governance – without the rule of law, predictable administration, legitimate power, and responsive regulation – no amount of funding, no amount of charity will set us on the path to prosperity. – Kofi Annan, UN Secretary-General Africa is beyond bemoaning the past for its problems. The task of undoing that past is ours, with the support of those willing to join us in that continental renewal. We have a new generation of leaders who know that we must take responsibility for our own destiny, that we will uplift ourselves only by our own efforts in partnership with those who wish us well. – Nelson Mandela, Nobel Laureate
