Unknown Author

4.9/5 (16187 ratings)

Description:As an international aid consultant for over twenty-five years, Sivini writes with both passion and cynicism about his field experiences with numerous African aid projects where he perceived that the money was mostly wasted. He saw that a particular government s interest in accepting aid was not to benefit the local populace, but because of the direct and indirect benefits the government itself would receive. Ultimately, aid projects often stimulated resistance from the local populace, as agencies upset their usual system of production by regimenting peasants to produce for the market, then appropriated the cattle of nomadic pastoralists, villagizing and resettling peasants in areas of high productivity, and exploiting laborers in large farms. This creates social disintegration, mass migration in urban informal economy, and poverty."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
