Africa needs to cut off aid
Ever since we were children we used to see stories of African aid on television. Until our day we see stories of African aid on television.
Until when is Africa going to be dependent on aid and how can we shift its economy to a more beneficiary one?
Africa’s dependence on aid started almost 100 years ago by European rich countries as a support to build infrastructure and a humanitarian gesture. As this aid has helped African countries to build roads and power facilities it has also helped keeping Africa poor by making its economy dependent on aid and its countries’ leaders eager to steal part of the cash and run the country in complete corruption, leading the rich to be very rich and the poor to be very poor.
A plan to rescue the continent from living on aid and shift it's economy to work on projects should be devised. And instead of aids to arrive in sums of money or food it can simply also be shifted according to new planning to missionaries of hospitals, schools and universities.
An economic plan should focus on building a stock exchange for corporations to build in big cities to create job opportunities for Africans as well as revive city economics, exports of African goods especially grains, fruits and vegetables as well as meat and poultry would be a source of high money income for countries and would create jobs to corporate people as well as farmers and agricultural workers, tourism projects along the beaches and cities by the beach would revive entire areas and would be a good opportunity for the world to spend time in Africa, using money from expats is also a very micro economical way of reviving families whose members managed to travel and work in other continents as well as income at the macro level.
Africa should work on export import agreements with the USA and Europe when it comes to export and also work on pushing the present agreement that is on the table and use the assistance of the WTO for trade facilitation.
Such plans should be devised while getting out of aid one step at a time. The international community should support such plans that would rescue Africa from aid economics unto world capital economy.
