Abstract
The report of the Commission for Africa argued that aid was effective and that more aid could be absorbed, and it looked at culture, governance, peace and security as well as health, education and economic growth. It surprised some when talking about governance by looking not solely at corruption in Africa but also at the role played by the West in bribe paying and money laundering including the role of export credit agencies. It looked in some detail at human capacity and the importance of higher education and went against the fashion of talking about human development alone, to consider the importance of infrastructure. It drew from various schools of thought to craft an eclectic' and pragmatic analysis and makes some significant recommendations, along with predictable ones such as increasing aid volumes and spending on diseases such as AIDS.2
