Theoretical draft of the French Gabonese co-operation since 1960 until nowadays : a public aid for the underdevelopment ?

Abstract

The concept of development aid made its intrusion in history shortly after the Second World War. Title XIII of the constitution of October 4, 1958 outlined the policy of co-operation. The General De Gaulle intended to solve the dilemma : to fold up the Tricolour without breaking the historical bonds. However, if French legitimacy in the new partnership found legal quibbles, the ambitions which it concentrated comprised of the weakness. Engagement for the development can last « Ad vitam aeternam ». The diversity of administrative and financial instruments, as well as the multitude of actors add to confusion. The reforms of the mechanism of the co-operation did not gum yet the idea of the « changes impromptues ». The « theoretical draft of the French Gabonese co-operation since 1960 until nowadays : a public aid for the underdevelopment ? » reveals ambiguity, the dichotomy between co-operation and development. In spite of the enormous potentialities of a country from approximately 1,5 million inhabitants, the co-operation pains to bring out the Gabonese of the poverty line. They are as poor, 50 years after the independences, as they were at the time when the colonial administration passed the hand over. If the French technical aid allowed certainly a certain changing of this one, called « gabonisation », the essential of the economy in this country remains concentrated in the hands of the French where a considerable share of the French public investments passes. The importance of Gabon for France caused a co-operation of the shade where all kind of paradoxical drifts to progress perspires : underhand dealings, favoritism, misappropriation, sectarianism... monolithism.
