This policy brief examines the impact of foreign aid on development in Sub‑Saharan Africa using a PESTLE framework. Despite substantial aid flows, the region continues to underperform in key development indicators—including GDP per capita and human development. This disconnect has spurred renewed calls for rethinking development strategies and aid deployment. Macroeconomic trends are visualized through real-world charts and a detailed Recommendations Matrix is presented to map each PESTLE challenge to actionable solutions. The aim is to guide policymakers toward leveraging aid more effectively using the PESTLE analytical framework to explore new strategies for sustainable progress.
