There's a whole industry built around African poverty. NGOs, consultants, conferences, awareness campaigns, celebrity endorsements.
Billions of dollars flow through this system every year, employing thousands of well-paid Westerners.
None of those people have an incentive for the problem to actually be solved, because if African poverty disappeared tomorrow, they'd all need new jobs.
I'm not saying they're evil.
I'm saying the incentive structure is broken, and incentives shape behavior more than intentions do.
