Endogenous Development based on African Moral Economy

The article focuses on two characteristics of the African moral economies related to its value and organization in order to seek its possibilities for endogenous development. The first characteristic of the moral economy is that it emphasizes human reproduction. The second characteristic is the importance of informal institutions for people's livelihoods. Comparing these characteristics with endogenous development theory, it has similarities with endogenous development that emphasize the importance of basic human needs for survival, and the role of the civil society. However, inspite of the fact that human reproduction is considered important, human survival is not necessarily ensured in Sub-Sahara Africa, and there are many challenges for endogenous development. Toward these challenges, the world's attention on the millennium summit goals is one of the results of the global moral economy from an ethical point of view. Enabling endogenous development in Africa is not only important for Africa itself, but also for realizing an alternative to industrialized countries that have situated production as the top priority
