Ghana and Namibia have long been trying to build their economies (the former has a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana_Stock_Exchange" rel="nofollow">very promising stock market </a>on the go) and could probably use with a bit of an <em>investment </em>injection.  Once Africans get a taste of capitalism from the non-colonial point of view, it will probably spread like wildfire.  The West could do very well to turn that aid into investment.

Consumers want low prices and everyone along the retail chain want as much profit as they can scoop which means the amount paid to the producer is always as low as they can make it. There are ways to address this but throwing money at the problem isn't a viable solution. 40+ years of doing so hasn't resolved the issue, has it? True enough.
