Abstract: The study shows the exclusion of the poor in various governance programmes. It analyses some developing countries in Africa. In most of these countries, the poor are excluded from the economic policies implemented by their governments. The analysis shows that there is evidence of ongoing and persistent poverty, which is strongly supported by exclusive economic policies in line with extractive political institutions, but there is also a kind of institutional ignorance and discrimination of opportunities that has been strongly supported by patterns of rejection in the first place. There are also reasons why poor countries are overly dependent on Western countries to a significant degree. This dependence, however, makes a significant part of these countries corrupt and strongly aligned with exclusive policies and extractive institutions.
