Abstract

Die Gesamtfolgen erfolgreicher wie erfolgloser ländlicher Entwicklungsprojekte in Afrika seit Beginn der Kolonialherrschaft haben sich in bestimmten westafrikanischen Entwicklungsländern in einem solchen Ausmaß bemerkbar gemacht, dass sie die Wirtschaft und das Sozialsystem dieser Länder strukturierten. Die Erfahrungen dieser Projekte hatten auch eine Auswirkung auf die Denkweise der betroffenen Bauern. Heutzutage kann Entwicklungshilfe (zumindest für viele LLDCs) als eine Art getarnter „Schattenhaushalt“ betrachtet werden, der nicht nur dazu führt, Ressourcen von der produktiven Nutzung abzulenken und die Kluft zwischen den Starken und den Schwachen im Allgemeinen zu vergrößern. Kommerzialisierung und Bürokratisierung – beschleunigt durch Entwicklungshilfe – haben auch zu sozioökonomischen Differenzierungen innerhalb der afrikanischen Bauernschaft und sogar innerhalb der einzelnen Bauernhaushalte (entlang von Geschlecht und Alter) geführt. Im Endeffekt haben die angehäuften Erfahrungen mit Entwicklungshilfe von zwei oder mehr Generationen die Bauern negativ geprägt: Der scheinbar veränderungsresistente, traditionsbewusste, risikoscheue „afrikanische Bauer“ ist eher das Ergebnis dieser Erfahrung und entspringt weniger – wie vielfach behauptet – einer natürlichen Neigung des afrikanischen Landwirtes.
