Two quick ones from today’s news:

An article in the Guardian entitled The new scramble for Africa must have the courage to curb corruption argues that European governments need to force businesses to be transparent if Africa’s poor are to benefit from oil’s riches.  A good example to tie in with the Development and poverty topic.

Also, Foreign aid to 20 countries will be axed as part of the Government’s overhaul of its development policy. Angola, Niger and the Gambia are among the African countries expected to lose out, while Ethiopia and Zimbabwe will continue to receive aid.  More in the Daily Express - Click Here.
