The pursuit of orthodox planning and the classical project approach to development, which had resulted notably in a shift in the responsibility for development from the people to the government, led to retarded growth and development in Africa. African governments, individually and collectively, are hastily pulling out of development in favor of a private sector that was suppressed for more than three decades in most African countries. To minimize the impacts of planning in development, the Ministries in charge of planning and economic development are being closed down in many countries in favor of a Ministry of Finances which role is being reduced to balancing the budget even if this means more poverty for a greater proportion of the population.
