this week, the Federal government of their Africa has given policy a new direction: priorities are set, and of all with each, more partnership. At first glance, one would say that is reasonable. Amazing that this idea no one had. On second glance, but the thing is not so clear. Because the political objectives of the new guideline to be carefully concealed. This can't be right. So there is no valid benchmark for the success of the aid.
This applies in Africa as well as for the promotion of economic development in Eastern Germany, or to the Reflections on the Coal phase-out. Behind each of these policy fields is a hidden Agenda lurking. The actual Theme for the largest part of the Africa-help is output: prefer (even inefficient) money in the poorest countries of Africa, as it is in Refugee camps in Europe – with all the known consequences.
The secret paradigm for the new länder is hardly meaningful: dear everywhere funding be sufficient, as by means of economic and risk regional policy priorities for a further political shift to the right. The exit strategy from Coal, the same applies.
What, then, is success? The development assistance efforts are effective, if less migrants make their way to Europe? The promotion of economic development is correct, if the AfD is losing approval? The world's climate gives to the brown coal in the Lausitz? Certainly not. The Africa-aid effect, if you the development of the United Nations and economic objectives favors growth. The promotion of the economy is as reasonable, where it enables the majority of investment and innovation. Climate protection, CO2-exit – no matter where and how.

And because courage is not part of the coalition agreement.
