What's For Dinner?

Tonight's Guest: Sanusha Naidu (part 2) In August, 2015 in Johannesburg, South AFrica, Third World Network AFrica and Hienrich Boell Stiftung South Africa hosted civil society representatives for discussion of PIDA Program for Infrastructure Develoment in AFrica. Tonight's show is our second covering the 3 days of meetings. Sanusha Naidu explains how new initiatives calling for inclusive growth in Africa wont eliminate the paradox of Africa being so rich in resources and yet the poorest continent. She describes current economic arrangements that mean new infrastructure will keep supporting resource extraction and export, in particular the way financialization of development in the form of projects identified for PIDA is unlikely to strengthen economic relationships within and among countries so as to build up local economies.
