Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to explain the causes of political and economic problems faced by Sub‐Saharan countries.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were compiled from current statistical data from various countries in the region. Also library sources were used to study the historical developments relating to the countries’ past and current political and economic situations.

Findings

This paper finds that the Sub‐Saharan countries misruled themselves and ruined their economies soon after they gained independence. They were then forced to seek help from their past colonial masters whom they had fought and got rid of to be independent.

Practical implications

The implications are that these former colonies have had to face reality and work with some western countries (including their past colonial foes) in order to foster economic development. In so doing, they have had to compromise and be accommodate donor and invest conditions

Originality/value

This paper provides explanation as to why the countries in this region have had economic and political problems. Furthermore, it lists comprehensive strategies these countries have devised to get out of their problems.
