Bill Gates announced a major philanthropic commitment to improve primary healthcare and education across Africa during an address at the African Union. The funds, part of his plan to donate nearly all his wealth before the Gates Foundation closes, target regions with pressing needs. While this initiative is welcomed, critics question the effectiveness of previous efforts, particularly in agriculture. Concerns revolve around sustainability and governance issues that foreign aid cannot resolve alone, emphasizing the need for systemic change alongside philanthropic efforts.
No amount of foreign aid can fix what bad governance and political impunity continue to destroy.
We are counting on Mr Gates's steadfast commitment to continue walking this path of transformation alongside us.
