> While I disagree with your conclusion due to the measurable increases in human development through our aid From 1960 to 2020, real GDP per capita in subsaharan Africa has grown by 0.6% per annum. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/NYGDPPCAPKDSSF https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/NYGDPPCAPKDSSF Whereas real global GDP per capita has increased by 1.7%, or three times the rate of growth as subsaharan Africa. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/NYGDPPCAPKDWLD https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/NYGDPPCAPKDWLD So yes, there has been some measurable human development. But Africa continues to fall farther behind the rest of the world -- e.g. the difference in global development between the rest of the world and Africa in 1960 was much lower than the difference today. We see divergence, not convergence. I can't see that as a success story.
