American Economic Assistance to Africa Some Observations

In: Issue: a journal of opinion, Band 1, S. 27-28

Abstract

Several years ago I testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee about the insufficiency of American aid to Africa. I urged that foreign aid be increased because, in Africa, our foreign aid still had the opportunity of being genuine economic assistance and not something else. It was understood in my remarks that the genuine nature of economic assistance would become apparent as structural changes in African economies took place.
