@masukuma,
Why do you think it happens in Africa and not elsewhere? What needs to be done?
What made USAID withdraw from Kenya some years ago?

This mentallity that solutions to our many BASIC problems will come from elsewhere should end.If we are unable to deal with our issues , a solution can be found. We should petition our governments for a referendum. Then we decide to join our colonial masters as one UK.especially if Scotland go we get in aka Crimea. Win Win.
good point! we are irresponsible lot! we delegate our responsibility by using the vote!
@masukuma, I see you've chosen to answer my question, instead responding with a question of your own
The reason why it happens in Africa is because we are irresponsible.
We cannot vote in forward thinking leaders and when outsiders come to our aid, we mismanage it.
The citizens worship their tribal leaders and will go to great length in defending their so-called leaders.
Poor GOVERNANCE and SYCOPHANCY are to blame.
