The Berlin Conference was designed to clarify the particular claims made by the various European powers over Africa and prevent wars between European powers over competing or nebulous claims. In this way, it was successful and most European powers were able to prevent wide-scale wars with each other in Africa until World War I. (And then, those conflicts were a direct result of conflicts in Europe, not local territorial confusion.)
As concerns Africans themselves, the Berlin Conference was a failure to divide Africa along reasonable, ethnic, national, or tribal boundaries. The Conference has resulted in the modern African borders which have no connection to the history of the region. These borders have inexorably led many African countries to fight civil wars between different cultural groups that should not be sharing the same government.
