Re-Inventing Africa's Development
Author: Jong-Dae Park
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030039463
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
This open access book analyses the development problems of sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) from the eyes of a Korean diplomat with knowledge of the economic growth Korea has experienced in recent decades. The author argues that Africa's development challenges are not due to a lack of resources but a lack of management, presenting an alternative to the traditional view that Africa's problems are caused by a lack of leadership. In exploring an approach based on mind-set and nation-building, rather than unity – which tends to promote individual or party interests rather than the broader country or national interests – the author suggests new solutions for SSA's economic growth, inspired by Korea's successful economic growth model much of which is focused on industrialisation. This book will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, NGOs and governmental bodies in economics, development and politics studying Africa's economic development, and Korea's economic growth model.

The South African Experience of Rural Development
Author: Theogene Bangwanubusa
Publisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
ISBN: 9783844321234
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
This book focuses on participation and empowerment in rural development in South Africa and Rwanda. It uses convincing case studies to compare the implementation of the principles of the policies. The comparison involved the state of affairs with regard to the problem studied before and after the important political changes in the two countries. The apartheid in South Africa and genocide in Rwanda remained key political events to offer strong background for the analysis. The book indicates that participation and empowerment are understood differently in different contexts. Often, these are understood as token involvement of the beneficiaries in processes in which top-down decision-making tends to dominate. The examples of successful projects involved the beneficiaries on all levels, from the beginning of the intervention onwards, in order to promote ownership and self-reliance. The book equips active key players in rural development with participatory approaches to ensure successful interventions in developing worlds. It targets the donor community, decision-makers, non-governmental organizations, and civil society organizations engaged in driving social change from the bottom up.

South Africa's Post-Apartheid Microcredit Experiment
Author: Milford Bateman
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 31
Book Description
The international donor community arrived in post-apartheid South Africa in the early 1990s to restructure the economy along neoliberal lines. One of the most important of the interventions it promoted was microcredit, which was widely seen as one of the principal self-help solutions to the exceptionally high levels of unemployment and poverty that prevailed in the Black South African community. In spite of an early 'boom-to-bust' episode in the early 2000s and worrying evidence it was actually further impoverishing far more Black South African's than it was actually helping escape from poverty and unemployment, the microcredit model did not lose its international support: if anything, this support was expanded as the international development community desperately sought to ensure the survival of the microcredit model and therefore also the centrality of self-help and individual entrepreneurship as the only way out of poverty for the poor. This article shows how and why the microcredit model was supported so strongly by the international development community and South African financial community in spite of its manifestly calamitous impact on Black South African community. Overall, I conclude, microcredit can be viewed as South Africa's own sub-prime-style disaster which, like the original US version, has mainly served to benefit a tiny financial elite working within and around the microcredit sector, whilst simultaneously destroying many of the most important pillars of the economy and society.
