Why is Africa still in poverty?

1. Successful projects are being supersized

2. Nomadic communities were turned into shanty towns by the Millennium villages project.
3. Theft and disease were spread.
4. The ecosystems of these communities were changed by the cash, goods and services that the
project introduced.
5. The plans might not always work because they aren‘t tested constantly.
6. Local businesses are being destroyed by other innovative companies.
7. With Tom’s model of business rather than local people being empowered, dependency is created.
8. The dysfunction is being contributed to by government corruption, local laws, the media and short–
sighted celebrities.
9. Not enough efforts are spent asking people what they need.
10. Uncertain solutions are being imposed.
