Spot the differences
Meet the DNA of the HIV virus, a global killer. HIV kills by wrecking your immune system. It is transmitted by unprotected sexual intercourse and blood transfusion.
Meet the logo of the World Economic Forum, another global killer. The WEF kills by wrecking your social economy, it starves you to death. It is transmitted by unprotected "free" trade and capital inflows.

It is hardly the donations that stand as a problem. Debt on the other hand, and debt payments, are hemorraging the finances of African countries, to pardon the debt would clearly better their finances. There are many anecdotes that can be told about corruption, the same thing could be said about Portugal and the EU funds, many of which ended up make-believe training courses. Corruption is not an African invention. It is a coping strategy when there are no opportunities for you to better your life, that said, I do not condone it.
The main issue is economic muscle. Trade is never really "free" if that means fair and equitable. Even if trade barriers were lifted it would be like asking the Third World to race the First World, but while the former was walking to the finish line, the latter cruising along in a Ferrari. Hidden subsidies and technological superiority make a unsurmountable difference and allow the West to keep ahead in a liberal world economy. The Davos meeting are a conspiracy of the powerful to bring that world to fruition.
