Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Leaders at last week’s G8 summit agreed to double aid to Africa by 2010. Some hail this as a great accomplishment. Others view it as a feel-good plan likely to make little difference in African poverty. Critics explain some of the unresolved issues that impact African poverty — including agricultural subsidies, climate change, debt reduction, and genocide.
Guests
- Salih Booker Executive Director, Africa Action; former Director, Council on Foreign Relations, Africa Studies Program
- Steve Radelet Senior Fellow, Center for Global Development; Adviser to Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf
