Should Africa continue accepting foreign aid?

There are two schools of thought when it comes to aid to Africa. Those who advocate for more aid and those who think the current aid model has not worked and should therefore be reengineered. I tend to agree more with the second group of people. I think the current aid model has had the unintended consequence of creating a dependency syndrome which has not helped African economies to get off the starting blocks. 

To clarify the argument I want to quickly differentiate emergency aid targeted at affected communities due to a natural disaster such as an earthquake and the aid given to governments to fund economic growth and development. The former can be given to any country even a developed country. Japan is a decent example of a developed nation that needed emergency humanitarian assistance after the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster caused by a tsunami. The later however is given to governments to support and fund economic blueprints. The implementation has been dreadful with blueprint after blueprint failing to grow and develop the economies of developing countries. 

Developing countries have failed to pay back loans to the IMF and World Bank resulting in applications for more loans. More than a trillion dollars has been forwarded to Africa in the last 50 years as loans but there's nothing to show for it. In fact poverty has worsened instead of getting better. Corrupt governments have failed to implement prescribed economic blueprints but have personally amassed wealth most of which is stashed away in offshore accounts. Economic aid given to developing countries has had the unintended consequences of enriching the few in government which has resulted in controversial elections which have kept liberation war parties in power for decades. 

Developing countries have received foreign economic aid without growing their economies and without an exit plan. Foreign economic aid is not the only form of funding economic growth and development. Developing countries should explore other forms of funding and grow their economies so that they can better the lives of their people who have become economic migrants and attracted the wrath of the local populations leading to anti-migrant sentiments. The main accusation is taking jobs meant for locals. In South Africa this sentiment degenerated into daylight and public xenophobic attacks. The world was shocked as live television pictures showed a gruesome knife attack on a Mozambican vendor leading to his subsequent death in hospital after being assisted by some journalists. 

Africa needs to have an exit plan out of the aid dependency syndrome and explore alternative ways to fund economic growth and development.
