Abstract
Africa is the world’s poorest continent. Between 1974 and 2003, the per capita income in sub-Saharan Africa declined by
11 percent. Africa continues to trail the rest of the world on human development indicators including life expectancy; infant mortality; undernourishment; school enrollment; and the incidence of HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. The international aid lobby advocates more foreign aid and greater debt relief for Africa as solutions.
