Eritrea's Holistic Development: Beyond the Resource Curse
Update: 2025-07-18
Description
This episode examines Eritrea's unique approach to national development, specifically addressing the common misconception of the "resource curse." It argues that Eritrea treats natural resources as only one component within a broader, holistic development strategy that prioritizes human capital, infrastructure, and agriculture. The source emphasizes Eritrea's cautious management of its mineral wealth, aiming for sustainability and public ownership, and highlights its "zero tolerance" policy on corruption. Ultimately, the text suggests that Eritrea's measured progress in health and education, along with its stability and low corruption rates, differentiate it from other resource-rich nations.
