The island of St Helena is more prosperous than other tropical Atlantic islands, but this prosperity is more a mark of the Aid it receives from its colonial power than any indigenous economic strength. A number of problems with the economic and social situation on St Helena were identified in the early 1980s and, whilst many of these issues have been addressed since, the economy remains Aid-dependent and the population is still rather unambitious and seems not to have developed the enterprise looked for at that time. The latest National Development Plan seeks to encourage enterprise by better use of island resources leading, it is hoped, to sustainable improvements in living standards and reduced dependence on its colonial power, the United Kingdom. The paper also sets St Helena into a wider context of contemporary colonialism
