Trade Not Aid
By now, the phrase ‘trade not aid’ is (or should be) common place in our conversations. In the case of Africa, ample evidence exists to support that most financial aid from wealthier nations does not reach its poor, hungry, sick and uneducated. According to Ugandan journalist, Andrew Mwenda, between 1960 and 2003, Africa received 600 billion USD in aid, yet poverty is still widespread.
