Why is Subsaharan Africa the poorest and least industrialized region in the world today?

I'm thinking something to do with corruption. And the literacy rate, maybe?

Those are two good reasons. Poverty and climate also combine to bring the African people a high incidence of diseases such as malaria and AIDs.

Also consider that much of Africa was governed by European countries from the 1800s til the 1960s. The European countries exploited the Africans, took what they could, built few roads, and didn't promote a Western way of life among the natives.
Thanks. That makes sense-Since the Europeans did what they did for their own benefit, and then just left.
Yep!
