The sombre picture of the economic situation in most developing countries, and not least in Africa, has become increasingly familiar in the last two or three years. Foreign aid is at best not increasing and the terms on which it is offered are hardening. There has been little or no relaxation of the obstacles to increased trade between the developed and the under-developed world. The growth of many poor countries has been limited; and, indeed, within the developing world, the gap between those at the top and those at the bottom is growing, as is that between the developed and the under-developed world as a whole.

Science and technology capabilities are fundamental for social and economic progress in African countries and they are crucial components aimed at fostering growth and development of every nation as they create impact on the various sectors of governments. Maintaining and Strengthening the contributions of science and technology become more important for Africa in addressing traditional development issues and successful application of science and technology entails establishing effective institutional framework and linkages so that the various science and technology institutions and the productive sectors work in a system that is focused on achieving developmental goals without undue duplication and completion. Unfortunately, many developing countries especially the poor countries in West Africa do not have human resources, physical and economic infrastructures and access to capital to take full advantage of the science and technology expertise and achievements of the developed countries like the USA, China, and Korea etc. Conclusively, it is imperative for Africa especially West African countries to embrace science and technology as a vital tool for accelerating their socio-economic development as science and technology enhances its international competitiveness and more importantly its position in the world economy.

- This paper addresses recent scholarly studies that review the experiences of Western intervention into poor countries and that use the implications of these experiences in order to confront present-day policies. I examine the publications of the three authoritative economists William Easterly, Jeffrey Sachs and Paul Collier. Easterly is very critical of international interventions and maintains that they have never produced and will never produce realistic results because of the way they are conceived. Easterly faults aid programs most of all because the ways they use to distribute the aid are largely insensitive to local conditions. In contrast, Sachs is much more optimistic. He maintains that present-day technology provides what is needed for eliminating poverty in the poorer countries. The only condition is that the investments should be large enough and long-term enough to get realistic initiatives for modernization going. Collier's position is different from those of Easterly and Sachs in one respect. Even if Collier concedes that foreign aid plays an important role, he holds that this alone is not enough to win the battle against poverty in the poorest countries of the world. In fact, aid should be tied in with initiatives that promote public security, that produce international charters setting up the monitoring of institutional reforms, and that make local commerce easier to conduct. In its conclusion this paper compares and contrasts these various positions and points out the attention that they have attracted in international public opinion.
