520 _a"Does aid to Africa actually work? After nearly 50 years of independence and development efforts backed by more than half a trillion dollars of Western aid, most of Africa's citizens are poorer than ever. And yet, in 2005, the participants at the Glenneagles Summit agreed to double aid to US$50 billion by 2010, of which 50% would go to Africa. The 25 members of the European Union committed themselves to double aid to US$80 billion by 2010, and 15 members of the United Nations agreed to achieve the target of donating 0.7% of their gross domestic product (GDP) as aid. At the same time, global financial institutions undertook to cancel US$55 million of debt to 18 countries, 14 of which were in Africa. Will aid ever make a discernible difference to African development? Will donors ever be able to begin to reduce aid? These are among the provocative issues examined in Africa Beyond Aid." -- Cover.
