An article from the Malaysia Times examines remarks made by President Obama about Africa, good governance and democratic practices. The author goes on to consider closely the development paths taken by South Korea and Ghana. The influence of the World Bank and IMF are profound in the case of Ghana; in particular the effects of structural adjustment programs on the nation's agriculture sector. Money to promote food security in Africa needs to go hand-in-hand with a rethink of policies that have contributed to the food insecurity felt by many Africans.
