USAID and what it did to Africa

In the current episode of Lumumba’s Africa, we delve into the complex and controversial role of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Africa. While framed as a benevolent force for development, USAID’s programs have often been accused of serving American geopolitical interests rather than Africa’s true needs.

Join us as we uncover the untold story of how American aid reshaped—and in some cases, exploited—the continent.

USAID and what it did to Africa
Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
