it's just that in Africa it is probably the worst.

Worst if you say so and that is because of bad leadership that is a result of corruption and bad policy implication. But looking down very well, it is not only Africa but third world but Africa is in spotlight because of its large size and the people of Africa are in active participation in global affairs.

Also because it's been a long decades and still same policy and same politics that keep Africa way far from every third world countries. There's no real changes between leaders.

Africa needs people who can lead them to bring modernizations and good educations, concern leaders that will bring them to challenged poverties and not just after wealth.
Agree, it always depends on the government who handles the country so if they fail, then the country itself will also fail. Once corruption started in a country, it's hard to recover because of debts so I can't blame the current and future leaders because of course, they can't stand the past corruption that happens and expects other debts this pandemic.

If nothing changes in the currency country then it's obvious that it will remain the same.

I agree with you, the best thing for Africa would be to grow from within. If local education would be higher it would much easier for countries to grow out of poverty. Unfortunately most humans (all around the world, not only in Africa) think about themselfs first, and their families and friends second and countries usually last. The high level of corruption in Africa make it so hard for companies to grow competitive on a global scale. I think getting rid of corruption with implementing new business reforms should be the way to go for Africa to get developed. The Western and Asian countries need to help here, but with the corona pandemic still ongoing it's very hard to get more funding for African infrastructure projects.

The increase in population is going to make this worse.
The very rapid population growth from year to year in a country will cause various problem, especially in the welfare sector. The more the population, the narrower the place to work so that unemployment will increase. But not always a country with a large population cant rise up and make its people prosperous. If the government succeed in attracting outside investor to invest, it will have a positive impact so that unemployed human resources can be utilized.

Regarding the OP post, the lack of human resources to maximize the yield of natural resources in African countries is what makes it difficult for them to become developed countries. The same thing happened in my country, many natural resources that cant be taken alone and always need other countries and their workers. We only get a few percent of the yield and don't involve much local workers are some of the things that cost us.

But the population in the African countries is not out of control by any means and to control the population it is the government who has to take actions actually like China made a few rules if my knowledge serves me right they have a policy if you have more than a single child you won't get a job from the government and so on which is a good way to stop the reproduction rate.

I believe the lack of education is a big factor in the current poor situation of the African countries because they had resources and should be a rich nation but due to lack of tourism, education and vision they are suffering with almost starvation now.

Look at this table:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependencies_by_total_fertility_rate

Many of the African nations are having fertility rates above 5 children per women. And you still believe that the population is not out of control? Take the case of Nigeria. Back in 1950, they had a population of 38 million. The current figure is 206 million. And by the end of this century, the population is projected to hit 800 million. Already there is a lot of armed conflict for the control of pastures and farmland. The increase in population is going to make this worse.

I look on the map presented and it's prety impressive. African continent is undoubtedly rich of mineral resources. If their government focus on harnessing such natural resources then I think they would be more developed than Middle East. But unfortunately, it's not.

Aside from the corrupt officials, another factor to be consider why they are having a slow progress is because of the climate and topography. It's really hard to improve the agriculture on such places that's why most of them are experiencing famine. Hunger  leads to low quality of health and death sooner Sad.

I believe the most important cause for this is corrupt politicians. People of Africa have to mass protest against such system and government. Today we have the internet, one can get quality education even online. Masses of Africa should use internet as a tool to get education, know about the world and what they are lacking, protest and start a movement so that they can get their rights which are snatched away from them by the greedy politicians. It really hurts to see them getting oppressed!

Africa is much more developed in terms of natural resources but they are in the poorest position due to exploitation in various aspects africa has abundant mineral resources many countries in the world including china are improving africa through the proper use of mineral resources. The main reason for the failure of africa is that he is suffering from ill health and lags far behind in terms of education human resource rates need to be increased to improve africa

All these issues.. such as lack of healthcare and education, shortage of food, lack of proper infrastructure.etc arises from a basic factor. That basic factor is the uncontrolled population explosion, which makes it very difficult for the governments to provide education and healthcare to everyone. On top of that, the per capita availability of agricultural land is declining, due to desertification and other factors.
95% of all people over the world know how richly blessing Africa is in terms of mineral resources  but to honest with you guys, the problem of Africa not been developed is not over population, lack of education, good healthcare but the major problem of African are bad government and godfathers which only want to enrich their pockets rather than developing the country. Mind you, everything that is needed to developed African countries is already written down in the country chart planning ever since their colonization.

I can assure you guys that if the African governments really want to developdevelopountry in a year they can but the bad seeds in the political scheme need to be removed.

Leadership and system of Government in Africa will always be the problem to growth. A system of government that can check any leader with corruption aim and reduce leader access to Government money, politics should recieve very low funding to attract administrators and technocrats in office. Most of the developed countries do not have 10% of what they have in Africa and they use 90% of those things in Africa at a cheaper price. Who do they pay for those things? and they deny the citizens. The system is just bad
The biggest problem in African countries is corruption. If at least the legal system of power, including the judicial branch of power, works at least 50% of its capabilities, then the government will have no choice but to make direct changes in the economic and political system of government. In addition, every resident of the country should understand that not only his future, the future of his children, but also the future of the whole country depends on his fox choice. It is people who give power to those people who then lead the country.

African have all it takes to be develop but the bad leaders in the countries which are just fighting for their self and family alone not care about the future of African.  African leaders never make their election free and fair in some countries which they always preach during their campaign that the election will be free and fair in the country which is causing African not to be develop compare to other continent in the world.
I think  with the strategies on ground which the leaders of
 African has accepted to join hands together to make African be the best in the areas of Education, religion, technologies, policies, and business etc. With the strategies which the African has agreed to carry out will make African the most developed country in the world.

Good blessed African with natural resources which few people are using them to enrich their self.

Africa is a continent with resources but the problems is utilization of those resources, almost all the African countries are underdeveloped because of ignorance, although the European colonization brought a slight destruction on Africa economics, almost all African countries pays a big sum of dollars to their respective colonisers, which in turn reduces at least 30% of Afrucan production system.
In South African, the government pays a big certain sum money to Queen of England as one of the major priority to be done instead of attacking the leaking part of the economy, another factor that drains out the development of African is the corrupt leaders which lutes their country 1/3 of total budgets, these are the reason why African countries are still underdeveloped till today, and I don't think they van wakeup from these slumbers.

I believe countries in Africa will develop, like countries on other continents. Moreover, African countries are supported by abundant
natural wealth. This should be, if used properly, could make African countries developed. But the fact is that countries in Africa are
very poor, and children in Africa are often malnourished.

This happens because governments in African countries cannot manage  natural resources properly. and its human resources are not
well educated. I was reminded of the Black Panther film made by Marvel, which tells of Africa with a fictional city called Wakanda which
has such an advanced civilization. Wakanda should be able to become  a reality if the African government can manage its country well.
In my opinion, Afrika must start first by improving the education system,  so that the quality of human resources in Africa will improve.
If human resources are good, they will be able to manage Africa's natural wealth well.

Also, it will be developed if there will be no corruption, proper family planning since their population is really high which makes it really hard for all of them. This is only a few steps to improve, but it will never happen if their people including the government will not make a move.

Rapid population growth is one of the main reasons why most of the Africans live in abject poverty. Whenever I talk about this, a lot of people counter it by saying that the population density in the African continent is very low and therefore they can afford to have a high population growth. But what they fail to remember is that most of the area in Africa is composed of either desert or equatorial rainforest. Areas that are suitable for agriculture are rather small.

I am just thinking if all these can change, I wish many Africa countries to be developed. What can possibly lead to Africa countries getting advanced so the quality of living in the continent will improve?
If the government and their people will know exactly how to use their resources properly,

Also, it will be developed if there will be no corruption, proper family planning since their population is really high which makes it really hard for all of them. This is only a few steps to improve, but it will never happen if their people including the government will not make a move.

The development of one country like Africa is depend on the hands of their leader with the help of their community. But if corruption is rampant specially to the leaders of their country and the people are lazy and don't want to make their life better, then i can say that it's difficult for this country to become well develop unlike other countries.
a country will be developed if it is free from greed (corruption) in fact most countries in Africa have bad leaders..  one more thing, the role of foreign investors greatly influences the development of a country, if investors look at a country a lot, the country will advance because it gets incoming money from outside and also creates jobs.  The political conditions and human resources in the average African country are still far from good, this is the reason African countries find it difficult to advance..
One reason why they haven't gained any kind of growth is because they seek outside help for their own problems like they will seek abroad education while they should have focused to generate enough quality education that they should not have to move outside for education needs. Similarly they will always rely on import while doing minimal export which causes big loss to their economy and even for health problems they fly out for treatment.

I believe once their education system is tightened up they will start growing and once they build some tourism they will have the financial freedom because they have so much resources and it baffles me how they haven't been great export source and have always rely on importing more than they export.
