Poverty is not a singular event that began at a specific time in Sub-Saharan Africa; rather, it has a long history in the region, but the region became notably poorer compared to other parts of the world, particularly after the 1970s and 1980s, a period associated with economic stagnation, global oil crises, debt crises, and political instability following independence. While Sub-Saharan Africa experienced economic growth and development on par with East Asia and South Asia in the mid-20th century, it began to stagnate and fall behind in the 1980s, leading to a widening gap and extreme poverty that has persisted.
