| Form and performance of institutions One of the major obstacles in Africa is the form and performance of institutions. To make aid function better a key task is to improve the accountability and transparency of institutions. In particular to prevent rent-seeking in government institutions in Africa it is important to decentralize the institutional power structure. Another major task is to encourage African countries to build stronger regional blocs. This is because following de-colonisation many African countries were left with many tribes in one country – this has been an obstacle in the creation of nation states in Africa . Regionalism can contribute to the removal of this obstacle and shift people from a tribal mentality to a regional mentality. This would then serve to reduce ethnic-religious clashes in Africa. originally submitted via the old FFA website by Ghani Majidi, Essex University , UK |

| Use informal and formal organisations which are people's own! From Dr. Sapovadia - use Self Help Group and Cooperative organisation - their strength in eradicating poverety. These are powerful socio-economic institute capable to uplift masses, and they are made up of targetted peer members.
