Titre : China in Africa: Lending, policy space and governance Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Martine Dahle Huse, Auteur ; Stephen L. Muyakwa, Auteur Editeur : Oslo : Norwegian Campaign for Debt Cancellation - SLUG Année de publication : 2008 Importance : 56 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : dette/prêts/gouvernance Résumé : Chinese lending is generally welcome in Africa. The loans that China provides often contribute to financing infrastructure and other projects that African countries need. However, it is of concern that China is lending to countries that already have large debts outstanding. It is not the lending per se that is problematic, since it seems that China's lending occurs in resource rich countries. What makes China a risk to debt sustainability in poor countries is the lack of transparency in loan contraction processes. Loan contracts between China and African countries are not open to public scrutiny. This leaves a lot of power in the hands of a few African leaders. As the case study from Zambia shows, loan contracts are often made at the highest political level, and because of the lack of transparency, the agreements are not available to parliament, civil society or media En ligne : http://www.afrika.no/noop/file.php?id=17232 Format de la ressource électronique : China in Africa: Lending, policy space and governance [document électronique] / Martine Dahle Huse, Auteur ; Stephen L.
