How to access information on Chinese development assistance?

Many players

• State Council• MOFCOM & ECCs• MOFA & Embassies• MOF• Exim Bank• CDB• Ministries of Agriculture,

Science & Technology, Health, Education, etc.

• + 25-20 other institutions

• State Owned Enterprises• Private Sector

What are trends?

• Country demand a starting point

• Dedicated government staff attention and time

• Capacity of AIMS to match SSC categories

• Publication of data and reports

• Build network and ties with ECCs

Is it just a matter of asking?

China’s South South Cooperation Overall Trends On Foreign Assistance Thirteenth Five Year Plan in 2016

“Increase the efforts of providing foreign aid, and actively participate in the sustainable development agenda in 2030.”

“Strengthen South-South cooperation. Optimize foreign aid system/structure, innovate foreign aid modalities, increase economic and technical assistance that aims at improving welfare, social and public infrastructure and capacity-building for developing countries.”

China’s UN Announcements South-South Cooperation Aid Fund Increase investment in the LDCs Debt cancellation The “Six 100s” initiative China-UN Peace and Development Fund “Global Energy Network” Initiative Launch a Center for International Knowledge on Development South-South Climate Cooperation Fund Contribution to UN Women

Aid Reform in MOFCOM Establish program management mechanism and regulate project process Build a project database system, connect with provincial-level departments in charge of commerce Focus on Macro policy research, establish the legal system, project approval,monitoring and evaluation Formulate mid- to long-term policy guidelines on Chinese foreign aid in 2015 Along the “One Belt One Road” countries and in China’s periphery

So what is next?

• Do partner countries need and want this?

• Can partner country led data collection benefit IATI?

• Can AIMS (and IATI) cater for SSC flows and definitions, e.g. knowledge cooperation?

• How to address capacity needs – partner countries and China?

One next step….• AIMS that capture Chinese flows• Trends under GPEDC monitoring 2015/16• Which Chinese institutions?Mapping• System: How AIMS register Chinese flows (geo,

sectors, grant/loans, modalities, etc)?• Process: How do countries engage, how validate?• Use of data: How is the data used in

budget/MTEF/expenditure tracking processes? Public reports?

• Other providers: Match with experiences with other SSC providers

Joint Research

• Beijing-level dialogue (embassies, partner country representatives, MOFCOM/MOF/MOFA, Universities and Think Tanks)

• Policy briefs targeting MOFCOM, MOFA and MOF.• Establishment of pilots

Dialogue
