Policy Conditionality in Africa: Advocating for Change
Ending poverty in Africa has become an increasingly important target for the international community throughout the decades, giving a pathway to the rise of aid year after year from organizations such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, bilateral donors such as USAID, and NGOs. This financial support comes with the requirement that recipient countries implement policies and reforms in governance, transparency and economic management. These policy conditions attached to aid have created unintended spillovers towards the lives of Africans. This requires revising and reshaping policy conditionality to better align with the political and socio-economic contexts of African countries, improving its effectiveness while incorporating innovative solutions like blockchain infrastructure.
