• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

More than $1 trillion has been transferred to Africa from rich countries in development-related aid in the last 50 years. Despite this, poverty levels continue to surge. Using Kenya as a case study, Foreign Aid's Effects on Development and Human Security in Kenya by John Bosco Ngendakurio demonstrates the effects and limitations of foreign aid on development and human security in poor countries. Kenya, a sub-Saharan African country and recipient of large-scale foreign aid, is a microcosm of what is happening in Africa and a good place to start to address the following question: How does foreign aid affect human security? Through archival research and interviews, Ngendakurio identifies that the key challenges to foreign aid effectiveness in Kenya are the complexities of Kenyan human security issues, the legacies of colonialism and neo-colonial practices as well as foreign aid's controversies, including corruption, bureaucracy, donor fatigue, and international actors' hidden agendas. Providing a geopolitical analysis of the long-term effects of colonialism in Kenya, this book investigates foreign aid schemes to contribute further knowledge and firsthand accounts to reshape the processes for the benefit of both the donors and the intended beneficiaries.
