"One of the major problems Africa faces is global initiatives that have no local anchorage. Many of these initiatives do not use the local expertise or indigenous people who actually know the problems. The real experts to African problems are the local people who live with the people and know their needs. Development is not purely technical, there are social and cultural issues to be addressed. The link between the good ideas, good intentions, and the realities is very wide and it needs to be bridged." (Quoted from article)
