What Would the Poor Say?

Excerpts from participants at a recent Development Research Institute conference:
Yaw Nyarko:
"No nation has ever developed because of aid and outside advice"
.
Andrew Mwenda:
“Aid money makes African governments accountable to the aid agencies rather than to their own people.”
June Arunga:
"Aid money is diverting African skilled professionals away from private enterprise to writing proposals for NGOs.”
