Concerning point 4.2.2/15 :
“All this has left African governments feeling more accountable to donors than to representatives of national institutions and to citizens”. That is quite an euphemistic understatement. What about this: using aid organizations to implement procedures in any developing country amounts in the long run to devastating results on organizational, economical and political democratic levels.Aid organization might be very neutral in theory, in practice they represent particular interests of the organization itself and are directed to specific group interests which simply do not represent and can not represent the interests of the developing country concerned. The only alternative seems to be to get rid of aid organizations and to have Africans nations to do whatever is needed. The only representative capable of representing the developing country involved is that developing country itself. Simple as can be.
