Kurageri Creates New External Aid AgencySeptember 8, 4949President Toshi Kabwe has announced the creation of an External Development Agency which will be tasked with providing development aid to "impoverished nations". The Agency will be endowed with an annual budget of 25 million - modest by international standard yet a powerful sign of Kurageri's progress since the anti-corruption revolution under former President Charlie Nibogora's and also the massive economic benefits accruing from membership of the Kitembo Union.
Economists say that the Kuragao economy is now 23_times larger than it was three decades ago with economic growth rarely dipping below 10% of GDP over the past thirty years. Extreme poverty has fallen from over 80% of the population to 14%. With economic growth, new issues have arisen such as environmental degradation, extremely high inequality and rising crime. Most Kuragaos remain highly optimistic with older generations in particular keeping the flame of anti corruption with grim tales of the bad old days.
