Jonathan Tanner was spot on in this article, Oxfam has it right, it's time for aid organisations to see Africa differently. I certainly share his thoughts that " we need to move past the stereotypical images of poverty and helplessness." Kudos too Oxfam too. But my question is whether other international charities and donor agencies will wake up and smell the coffee? Of course they have got roles to play in reshaping those bogus stories they have portrayed, or fueled about Africa and its people.
