Phased Development & Osmosis

“If real development is to take place, the people have to be involved.”

should, in turn, result in a faster rate of progress in what is likely to prove to be more
sustainable development.

It’s almost inconceivable that World Bank, IMF, DfiD/FCDO and others do not already

address the concept of phasing in development projects and the attached 'conditionalities'.
My concerns are that

 I can't see any substance to this in over 5,000 published reports, studies, journals, articles
and the like
 I can see widespread feedback that strongly infers that 'adjustment' programmes and
'conditionalities' are unrealistic in their expectations
 there is a desperate need for a thought through approach to phasing development
 the use of a guidance tool to ensure proper phasing of development has the potential to
produce several efficiencies

Globalisation & Osmosis

Globalisation already affects Africa in many ways. Some positive, some not so.

Perhaps the most positive has been the emergence of China 'Development Finance' that so
ɡ
m̩
threatens the major 'zuŋ u aid donor countries. Perhaps the most unhelpful, at least in
the short term, has been the mushrooming of Illicit Finance Flows.

The inter-connected world is here to stay. Globalisation offers an enormous
opportunity to speed up the development of African development.

ɡ
m̩
The more inter-action between Africans and 'zuŋ u, between African businesses
ɡ
m̩
ɡ
m̩
and 'zuŋ u businesses, between African institutions and 'zuŋ u institutions, between
ɡ
m̩
African governments and 'zuŋ u governments, the greater the osmosis effect.
