some info pulled from the video

NPO/NGO's and "aid" helping the African governments..."It's like the blind leading the clueless."

Fundamental question, who do we want to help in Africa? The people, or the governments?

Wealth creation versus wealth redistribution

three main sectors:

Modern (where most of the corruption is, and most of the aid goes)

Most of the people exist in the next two sectors...(and they sectors are governed by two tribe types, those that have no chief/leader and despise tyranny of leadership, and the sector that has a chief, but he/she is surrounded by council upon council upon council of advisors to make sure the chief if acting on behalf of the people. Decentralization of power.

Informal (trade, black market)

Traditional (agriculture, crafts)

Western POV: I am because I am

African POV: I am because WE are

And African markets were dominated by women.

Institute change from within and take Africa back one village at a time.

Great video Jim, glad you shared it and started the group.
