Highest Poverty Rate in the World

The Highest Poverty Rate in the World And Eradication in 2020. In the development literature and the vocabularies of Poverty has almost become synonymous to Africa and specifically sub Saharan Africa. Most conventional poverty indicators, be it access to education, life expectancy, income per capital, access to clean and safe water, access to a number of services…indicate that the continent is poor.

This is accepted by western scholars and by southern scholars as well.

Unless African scholars learn to challenge their knowledge that they have acquired from the west, the continent, which in reality is not as poor as it is claimed, will continue to be underdeveloped. This could be a difficult practice as the funds for such studies would need benefactors from the west as our scholars depend on the west for carrying out even studies that they themselves could fund.

Africa hosts a number of scarce resources needed in the world for a number of activities, despite this fact the continent continues to be termed poor, and indeed underdeveloped. The continent is home to lots of raw mineral, natural resources, and much more….what then could be the problem of the continent? Is the problem on leadership, fear and lack of self-confidence inherited through decades of torture? What is the really issue blocking the continent from prospering? Let us discuss…Your ideas are highly welcome…
