Abstract

Zusammenfassung: Einbeziehung lokaler Sozialversicherungssysteme in die postkoloniale Sozialpolitikformulierung in Afrika

Dieses Papier plädiert für die Einbeziehung lokaler Systeme der sozialen Sicherheit in die sozialpolitischen Bemühungen der postkolonialen afrikanischen Länder. Es wird behauptet, dass afrikanische politische Akteure und Entscheidungsträger in den meisten Fällen diese einheimischen Formen des Sozialschutzes nicht berücksichtigen, wenn sie Sozialpolitiken für ihre jeweiligen Länder entwickeln, und damit entweder unbewusst oder bewusst die koloniale Agenda zementieren, die diese Systeme von vornherein auszulöschen versucht hatte. Vermutlich spiegeln die meisten sozialpolitischen Initiativen in Afrika immer noch die der Kolonialzeit wider, weil sie immer noch weitgehend von westlichen Agenturen oder Experten auf afrikanische Kontexte übertragen werden.
