The West Can't Save Africa

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/12/AR2006021201150.html 1.Easterly, William. "The West Can't Save Africa." The Washington Post: National, World & D.C. Area News and Headlines - Washingtonpost.com. 13 Feb. 2006. Web. 17 Mar. 2011.

This doesn't give much specific data on financial aid given to Africa, but it does give two good examples of Africans who are succeeding at their own businesses. This article promotes supporting entrepreneurs rather than donating traditional foreign aid.
