Africa faces significant poverty challenges, with over 218 million people living in extreme poverty. More than 70% of Africa's poor population lives in rural areas and depends on agriculture, yet development assistance to agriculture is decreasing. While over $500 billion in direct aid has been sent to African nations, the consensus is that it has had little long-term impact in reducing poverty. Africa needs sustainable solutions to boost its standard of living rather than ongoing international aid.
