Corruption, one party rule and imbalances in development in Africa

02/12/2011

High growth rates in Africa can be misleading as most of the wealth goes to the ruling elites. Much of the growth comes from mining, drilling and exporting resources. There is no transparency about the wealth generated and its use, much of it going to the ruling party. When investments are made there are stark imbalances- Angola has 1500 doctors for a population of 18 million, there are not enough doctors to staff 24 new hospitals.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
