I don't think we know enough about this.
US foreign policy is based "on our interests" and it 'looks like' Africa is just simply not on our interests. With finite resources, Africa gets cut out of the pie. It's never an election issue, people simply don't care, or care enough to do something about it or make it an issue.
Plus, Africa is inherently unstable (yes I know the West made it that way) and horribly corrupt. Sadly, I don't see any solution in the near future.
Any real solution, like you suggest, would take a whole lot more than money. I don't think we even have the resources to do so. Between the "war on terror", helping tsunami victims, our resources are stretched pretty thin. It would have to be a massive collaborative effort.
