Science Monitor The traditional approach to solving Africa’s
problems has been to rely on charity and aid – free money, more
or less. And while charity has done much good for millions
across the continent in terms of food security, health care,
emergency response, and education, its chief weakness is that
its results have not proven sustainable. Africa finds itself
continually going back to donors simply to maintain the status
quo. What the continent really needs is to create the
environment – political, economic, and social – to achieve self-
sufficiency.
