Chairman Smith on the hearing: “Africa has been blessed with abundant natural resources, but too seldom have these resources benefitted the average African citizen. Our hearing will examine strategies to better ensure that African governments use revenues that come from those natural resources more broadly for the benefit of their people, which in turn reduces reliance on international donors to provide education, health and other services that can more appropriately be provided by these governments.”
