No More Aid For AfricaPushing back the aid dogma Author: Peter Banjo
Despite an "international coalition of good intentions" hand-outs aka. 'aid' have not lived up to their promise but have become involved in maintaining a structure of illegitimate government and ugly mismanagement. By challenging the aid dogma, better approaches based on sustainable development and mutual self-interest can develop through internal change, rather than external manipulation.

Dead Aid by Dambisa Moyo
Sunday, 15 November, 2009
I remember picking up this book, Dead Aid by Dambisa Moyo, in the Waterstones bookstore in Oxford, in the town centre: sometime in November 2008 I think. I was drawn to the book because my ideas and position on aid had began to crystallize and I found it strange that someone else had written a book about it already - as if I have a monopoly on ideas.I read some parts of the book and planned to buy it sometime and today I came across this interview on Fora.tv while eating my diner. Excellent interview, great ideas - she speaks with authority and eloquence on a sensitive issue.Who is going to be our benevolent dictator to take us where our angel investors will not lead us?
