These days, Africans might have no running water but they have mobile phones. Sounds like a (slight) increase in the standard of living. Definitely "trickle down", maybe not "economy" but at least "technology" (which is what ultimately counts on the long run - we don't care who was rich in Ancient Greece, but we do care about their technology).
