266 Yükselen Afrika ve Türkiye / Rising Africa and Turkeygender balance, facilitation, entrepreneurship, etc. There are estimates thatsome 70 percent of all aid money raised usually goes to financing NGOs’administration—cars, salaries, equipment and the all important workshops andseminars. ActinAid infuriated the British government when it pointed out thatconsultants and western companies benefited to the tune of 60 percent forevery STG 1 intended to go towards eradicating poverty. The World Bankadmitted recently that consultants were taking USD 20 billion from global aidbudgets, besides the fact that a lot more money is paid to the expatriates whoare provided with jobs in areas that local expertise exist.Aid cannot assist in the development of Africa. What Africa needs is arenewal of the project of collective self-reliance, and work harder on the unificationof the continent. Aid, in all its forms is basically working towards furtherbalkanization of the continent, through competition among countries towoe aid and foreign investors. Since 1960, Sub-Saharan Africa has receivednearly USD 500 billion in aid, yet the region has become poorer in the pastseveral decades. In today’s dollars, that aid initiative disbursed roughlyUSD100 billion over the course of four years after World War II. Africa thushas already received the equivalent of about five Marshall Plans. In that case,the call for debt relief, more aid and a new Marshall Plan is misplaced, underthe current corrupt international aid regime which is working towards thefacilitation of more exploitation of Africa’s labour, natural resources and rawmaterials, rather than industrialization and revolutionization of agriculture.BibliographyAnorld, Guy (1979): Aid in Africa, Kogan Page Ltd, London.Berg, E.L.
