The Sahel Problem
讨论对非洲萨赫勒地区的发展援助问题,认为该地区人口已超出承载能力,直接援助会加剧问题,应援助周边有承载力的地区以提升整体生活水平。
Problems concerning the provision of development aid to the Sahel region of Africa are discussed. The author argues that the population already exceeds the area's carrying capacity, and that the provision of direct aid to the region will only encourage further in-migration and exacerbate the problem. He argues that aid should be provided to neighboring areas with the capacity to support larger populations, which will eventually improve the standard of living of the whole region.
