Abstract: | This volume explores the premise, history and foundation upon which the concept of aid is based from an African perspective. It considers aid's relationship to the broader development discourse in Africa, the politics and power dynamics of aid mechanisms and how the emergence of powers such as China and India is redefining the global aid architecture. It explores how to create a more just aid system that contributes to Africa's development while also elaborating alternative approaches that understand the inherent inequity of aid.
