Abstract
This chapter examines the colonial legacy, neo-colonial influences, and the fight for democratic government as root reasons of Africa's developmental issues. Institutional responses to these problems are examined, including the African Union (AU), the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD), and the African Peer Review. A decolonized perspective on development and political will are both emphasized. Relying on Walter Rodney's claims, this chapter stresses the significance of accountable governance, human rights, and civic engagement in addressing Africa's self-underdevelopment.
