Breaking out of the Circle of Poverty.
Thompson, J. D. Ekundayo
Community Education International, p9-18 Jul 1996
Poverty in Africa is related to numerous factors: history of slavery, colonial and neocolonial rule, political and economic dependence, foreign debt, government corruption, high illiteracy, gender insensitivity, civil wars that create refugees, and unemployment. Solutions must take into account the political, economic, and social factors that create poverty. (SK)
