Externalization of Development Policy & Underdevelopment of Africa: A Critique of The New Partnership For Africa’s Development (NEPAD)

Abstract

Before the African leaders came up with the NEPAD document, several development initiatives and action plans such as the Lagos Action Plans was developed to help Africa out of underdevelopment problems. These initial documents failed to solve the problems. Presently, NEPAD document was claimed as the document/plan/stragy which will truly help with African problem because it was developed by African, for Africans to solve Africa’s problems. But to what extent is this true? Is NEPAD truly an African document? And in what ways is NEPAD different from the initial action plans and development documents produced to help African states out of the woods? All of these are resolved in this paper.
