Gaining "Independence": An Alternative Reality
In this edition of ViewPoints, the IDN presents an editorial by Sam
Mwoko, who writes:
"In poor countries, perhaps the biggest harm of all of the donor agency
setup is that they crowd out domestic talent. In that regard, this lit-
tle hypothetical story will be of interest to you. People like me have
no voice since it is stifled by the aid infrastructure. We can only
rely on you."
