What role do Western corporations play in educating native Africans to run and staff their African affiliates?
Western corporations working in Africa are often accused of making money off the continent without putting enough back in. Critics argue that big corporations like Chevron, for example, which makes many millions of dollars from oil from the continent, should use their clout (which is often greater than the clout of foreign governments or non-governmental organizations) to influence local governments to behave better. That’s a good point. But, at the same time, I have found many big corporations give back to the community by helping train and educate Africans to run their concerns. Each company has its own quota systems, and many work to ensure that a certain percent of their top staff positions are filled with Africans, not expats – which is of course doubly helpful to the economies of these countries.
