I think the only way that Sub-Saharan Africa is going to get better in the short term is through individuals. The best kind of aid that you can supply to the region is help that you give DIRECTLY!! Whenever you send things through corporations or through governments the money is bound to end up somewhere other than where you intended it. The best kind of charity that you can provide is things that will end up creating the availability of education and health services to anyone and everyone.  Ensuring the education and health of the layman is the first step in creating a better Africa. It's tough to look at it in terms of what the U.S. government can do but I would say that they have to invest in education and health services as well and that would probably fall under the jurisdiction of infrastructure.
