between social services and business development projects. Implicitly, grants (including inkind)
and quasi-grants (interest-free or low-interest-rate loans, with a willingness to
reschedule) are used for projects that are meant to provide public goods or social services,
such as hospitals, schools, public buildings or facilities, and technical assistance. To finance
projects that are expected to generate revenue or export earnings, through state financial
institutions and enterprises China provides trade credit and commercial loans, often with
repayment linked to the output of the projects (e.g., oil). This approach thus aligns debt
financing with evolving repayment capacity.
Instead of delivering a whole infrastructure project as an in-kind grant, as in the 1960s–
1970s, China now uses aid to facilitate investment—only a small part of China’s
infrastructure activity in Africa is outright aid. Concessional financing is often used as only
part of a financing package for commercial projects.26 Because aid is used to finance
infrastructure that complements investments in productive or export sectors, it helps leverage
financing from nongovernmental sources and indirectly stimulates growth in the recipient
country.
China’s official financing seldom directly supports a country’s recurrent public expenditure.
Any assistance to current spending is usually in kind (e.g., free medicine, medical services,
training of professionals, and scholarships). China’s technical assistance also seems to relate
mostly to sectoral development rather than government functioning or external consultants
for public service. These aspects of China’s official assistance—aligning debt financing with
commercial projects, using aid to leverage financing from nongovernment sources, and
focusing on capital expenditure and development of the productive sectors—help explain the
changing financing mix and growing Chinese financial flows to Africa.

A pattern emerging in China’s official financial support to Africa is that it differentiates
between social services and business development projects. Implicitly, grants (including inkind)

such as hospitals, schools, public buildings or facilities, and technical assistance. To finance

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
