Undermining self-sustainability • Creating a dangerous moral hazard - givelittle incentive for the local governments to reform - feed the bloated bureaucracies • Making regions even more dependent on aid - Deter free market and distort the local production - Crowd out local entrepreneurship - Per-capita food production in Africa has fallen in every year since the 1960s

  12. Inefficiency Continued… • one of the top grand recipient is …….. • China • Ethiopic, India, Tanzania and China • Huge population → per-capita figures down An article from Foreign Policy, in 2010 China 149 million dollars for Malaria ( 38 deaths reported) South Africa 122 million dollars for Malaria (about 2500 deaths reported)

  13. To sum up… Both Positive side and negative side exist These problems are not free from us.
