Report Launch: 'China and the end of Poverty in Africa- towards mutual benefit?'

Date: 13 December 2007

Venue: The Centre, 22 Avenue Marnix, 1000 Brussels

A presentation of the report by the author, Penny Davies, will be followed by a round-table discussion.

This new report, published by Diakonia and Eurodad, contributes to an increased knowledge and understanding of the role of China in Africa. The report assesses China’s role as a donor to Africa, an area that is little explored compared to those of trade and investment. The report analyses Chinese views on the country’s role in development policies, and features Chinese government responses to concerns by external stakeholders about the increased Chinese cooperation with Africa.
