Philosophy, Humanism and Development in Africa
Since the wake of a postcolonial era in Africa, philosophers have unceasingly reflected on political ideas that can serve as harbingers for social transformation and development in Africa; from socialism, Marxism, welfarism, Pan-Africanism, and Ubuntuism, to humanism. Odera Oruka is one of the foremost African philosophers whose thoughts on humanism and philosophy, though less known and controverted, entail some strategic directions for addressing the challenges of development in Africa. This paper seeks to interrogate Oruka's understanding of humanism and philosophy in Africa to explore its functional relation to the question of development. Oruka conceives humanism as the ultimate moral standard, which involves the quality and security of human life. Bemoaning the obscene disregard for humanism in Africa, Oruka hypothesizes a critical and dialectical philosophy as an antidote to what he called ARID (African Republic of Inhumanity and Death). Notwithstanding the fertile points in Oruka's thought, arguments are raised in this paper that humanism is a concept with diverse interpretations, which do not fit into one formula as Oruka depicts. Beyond Oruka's discourse on philosophy and humanism in Africa (as opposed to African philosophy and African humanism), this paper discusses the view that sees African humanism as the defining element of the Africaness of African philosophy. It consequently defends the position that African humanism can serve as a positive ideological springboard for sustainable development in Africa.

A Critical Analysis of African Development in the New Millennium
Africa is a continent undergoing rapid change. However, a lot of people continue to be ignorant of it due to myths and misinformation. In many ways, Africa is a marginalized continent. Still, there is no denying that things are shifting and will probably change much more quickly. This paper examines the claims made for and against \"good governance\" in terms of its actual contributions to development. In three areas-the consequences for Africa's economic development, the evidence-based approach to the \"good governance\" objective, and its impact on the continent- it offers a concise synopsis of the research and evidence. The following sections cover the following subjects: The second section looks at the history of the debate over African governance from the 1970s to the 1990s; the third section looks at the arguments and rebuttals that have dominated academic discourse since 2000; the fourth section applies the findings to the issue of moving Africa from economic growth to economic transformation; and the fifth section concludes that comprehensive governance reform is not always necessary for developing Africa to advance economically.
