Have you ever wondered why foreign aid has persisted for so long? Dr Olusoji Adeyi, the President of Reilient Health Systems and a former Director at The World Bank explains the nuances of foreign aid and why it is counter-productive. Foreign aid has persisted in order to support a foreign aid industrial complex that has been built around aid. This complex is sustained for the benefit of those around it - the external contractors who's business is to but products for distribution in African countries. In fact most of the time bilateral aid is not fundamentally aimed at Africans. According to Dr Adeyi, African countries would be best served by creating a plan to transition out of receiving aid for routine healthcare needs by 2030.
