Development Alternatives Beyond Aid Dependence in Sub- Sahara Africa: How much, to whom, for what? Speaker: Dr. Keith Lewin Date: Thursday 8 November 2018 at 10:30-12:00 Venue: Seminar Room 6 (515), (5F) at GSID Over the last three decades well over half a trillion dollars has been disbursed as aid to education through bilateral and multilateral agencies. The worrying thought is that without new and more strategically focused approaches more aid to education may not lead to sustainable educational development, but to more dependence and exogenously led development. This lecture explores the evidence and the options. Dr. Angela W. Little is Professor Emeritus Emerita of UCL Institute of Education, the University of London.
