Alternative Policies to Address Poverty and Inequality in Africa

Dambiso Moyo spoke about Alternative Policies to Address Poverty and Inequality in Africa, at this event hosted by Idasa and ANSA - www.idasa.org. Dr Moyo is the author of the book Dead Aid: Why Aid is Not Working and How There is a Better Way for Africa. In her book she argues that aid does not work and is actually detrimental to Africas economic development. In her opinion, business and trade are better than aid dependency, and she posits alternative strategies for Africas economic development that governments, multinationals and bi-laterals should adopt to ensure thriving economies instead of aid.
