ABSTRACT In 1970, the DAC members accepted the 0.70% ODA/GNI target for official development assistance. Most African countries are recipients of ODA. The sustainability and effectiveness of the aid given by donors to Africa is called into question. Bad governance, mismanagement of domestic resources and corruption are identified as the major factors hindering the effectiveness of aid and sustainable development in Africa. Africans have subconciously become dependent on aid, and it is gradually becoming a vicious cycle. A more sustainable solution has to be found because regardless of the good intentions donors have, they will never be able to do it all. Africans are the ones inside and know exactly “where the shoe pinches”. Donors are limited as to what they can see from outside. It also seems as though the quest for aid effectiveness is more donor driven. Aid should complement what is already being done by the African governments, and should be used as leverage. A lot depends on the government and the people. Good governance is key. African leaders have to realize that they must have regard for the people they are leading. They must respect them because they have put their trust in them, and are looking up to them to chart a course for economic development. They need to realize that they are accountable to the people and must be as transparent as possible. Financing sustainability and Education for Sustainable Development are some possible ways of ensuring effectiveness of aid in Africa.

官方发展援助及其阻碍其在非洲效力的因素

摘要1970年,发援会成员接受了官方发展援助的官方发展援助目标为0.70%的官方发展援助。大多数非洲国家是官方发展援助的接受国。捐助者向非洲提供的援助的可持续性和有效性受到质疑。不良的治理,国内资源管理不善和腐败被认为是阻碍非洲援助和可持续发展的有效性的主要因素。非洲人自觉地变得依赖援助,这逐渐成为一个恶性循环。必须找到一种更具可持续性的解决方案,因为不管捐助者的善意如何,他们将永远做不到。非洲人就是其中的一员,他们确切地知道“鞋子在哪里捏”。捐助者对他们从外面看到的东西是有限的。似乎对援助有效性的追求似乎更多是由捐助者驱动的。援助应补充非洲政府已经做的事情,并应作为杠杆。在很大程度上取决于政府和人民。善政是关键。非洲领导人必须意识到,他们必须尊重他们所领导的人民。他们必须尊重他们,因为他们信任他们,并希望他们为经济发展指明方向。他们需要意识到自己对人民负责,而且必须尽可能透明。为可持续性提供资金和可持续发展教育是确保非洲援助有效性的一些可能方式。在很大程度上取决于政府和人民。善政是关键。非洲领导人必须意识到,他们必须尊重他们所领导的人民。他们必须尊重他们,因为他们信任他们,并希望他们为经济发展指明方向。他们需要意识到自己对人民负责,而且必须尽可能透明。为可持续性提供资金和可持续发展教育是确保非洲援助有效性的一些可能方式。在很大程度上取决于政府和人民。善政是关键。非洲领导人必须意识到,他们必须尊重他们所领导的人民。他们必须尊重他们,因为他们信任他们,并希望他们为经济发展指明方向。他们需要意识到自己对人民负责,而且必须尽可能透明。为可持续性提供资金和可持续发展教育是确保非洲援助有效性的一些可能方式。他们需要意识到自己对人民负责,而且必须尽可能透明。为可持续性提供资金和可持续发展教育是确保非洲援助有效性的一些可能方式。他们需要意识到自己对人民负责,而且必须尽可能透明。为可持续性提供资金和可持续发展教育是确保非洲援助有效性的一些可能方式。
