AFP, China Daily Coverage of AidData/CGD Study of Chinese Development Finance to Africa

blog.aiddata.org –

Over the last several weeks, there has been a fair amount of media coverage related to AidData's publication of a new database of Chinese development finance to Africa (available at china.aiddata.org) and a new working paper from AidData and CGD staff and faculty affiliates. Some media outlets have characterized our findings more accurately than others. Agence France-Presse (AFP) ran an article article entitled “China Ranks Second to US in Money to Africa” and did a reasonably good job of Recherche avancée...

What’s Your Source? Comparing Official and Media-Based Chinese Aid Data

What’s Your Source? Comparing Official and Media-Based Chinese Aid Data

blog.aiddata.org –

If you needed reliable and comprehensive data on development finance flowing into your country, where would you go? We often assume that the most detailed and accurate records are maintained by the organizations directly involved. The OECD-DAC donors regularly report their data through the Creditor Reporting System (CRS), and recipient governments maintain their own databases of external financing, some of which are open to the public. So you would go to one of those official sources, Recherche avancée...

Improving The Data

Improving The Data

aiddatachina.org –

While the initial database was built by AidData staff and researchers, AidData encourage you to help us improve the data by identifying errors and omissions and suggesting alternative sources of information. This public resource was created in full anticipation of this fact and in the hope that others who are knowledgeable about specific Chinese development finance activities will help improve the accuracy, scope and depth of the database over time.

The AidData database debate heats up

The AidData database debate heats up

storify.com –

The newly released AidData database on China’s development finance to Africa has created quite a storm amongst China-Africa watchers. The Guardian.co.uk put up an impressive interactive piece entitled “Soft power, hard cash: how Beijing spent billions on aid and development in Africa.” The piece claimed that research has revealed the true value of aid and it lauded the newly launched AidData database as "one of the most ambitious attempts to chip away at Chinese secrecy". AidData was Recherche avancée...

Can Crowd Sourcing Improve Data on Chinese Aid to Africa?

Can Crowd Sourcing Improve Data on Chinese Aid to Africa?

themonkeycage.org –

AidData has a full response to Deborah Brautigam’s criticism of their data that I discussed yesterday. The debate contains a lot of nuts and bolts but it also raises some issues that should interest anyone involved in using or collecting large amounts of data based onlocal media reports. I am sympathetic to both claims. I fear that Brautigam is correct that people will start using the data simply because it is there without much regard for data quality. Yet, there is much to be Recherche avancée...

AidData: Why it is not Wikipedia

AidData: Why it is not Wikipedia

chinaafricarealstory.com –

The debate about AidData's "crowd-sourcing" methodology is heating up. A recent note on Development Gateway in support of AidData compared AidData's methodology to Wikipedia, saying that this kind of crowd-sourcing of information can be productive. AidData has responded to my critique in part by pointing out that they realize that many deals are not confirmed. That's not how it looks to me. The table we are discussing has a column on status. Of the nearly 1700 projects, 687 have a status of " Recherche avancée...

China can do more for Africa

monitor.co.ug –

The data, The Guardian reported, challenges the long-held view that Beijing is only driven by a quest for natural resources. It shows that there are few mining projects and, while transport, storage and energy initiatives account for some of the largest sums, the data also reveals how China has pumped millions of dollars into health, education and cultural projects. China shouldn’t risk the goodwill earned through its massive investments by sitting on the fence. It should not allow its unique Recherche avancée...

AidData recently released the largest Open Data cache of Chinese development finance in Africa. The Chinese Development Finance in Africa database contains nearly 1,700 official finance projects in 50 African countries, totaling over $70 billion in reported financial commitments. A stunning achievement considering that China does not regularly participate in existing information reporting systems, such as the OECD's Creditor Reporting System, the International Aid Transparency Initiative, and Recherche avancée...

Why we need better data on Chinese aid

Why we need better data on Chinese aid

Scholars, policy analysts, and journalists who study the distribution and impact of Chinese development finance lack reliable data that can be used to subject different claims and hypotheses to empirical scrutiny. This dearth of information has fueled suspicion of Beijing’s motives and limited the types of questions that can be answered about Chinese development finance. Some claim that Chinese aid is motivated primarily by the need for natural resources. Others assert that China is propping Recherche avancée...

How Do You Track Chinese Development Finance? You Have to Follow the Money!

blog.aiddata.org –

Chinese development finance activities in Africa often provoke strong reactions -- both positive and negative. Yet they remain poorly understood. AidData’s media-based data collection (MBDC) initiative is based on a simple but important insight: if you want to know what the Chinese are really doing in Africa, you have to follow the money. It's not enough to rely on grand announcements that Chinese Ministry of Commerce officials may make with African government counterparts at the presidential Recherche avancée...

To this end, we provided all users with a methodology that describes all our procedures and methods. In combination with the publicly released dataset, the methodology allows any user to identify the source of any error and offer a specific and actionable Recherche avancée...

Rubbery Numbers on Chinese Aid

Rubbery Numbers on Chinese Aid

chinaafricarealstory.com –

A new paper and media-based dataset on Chinese aid/finance was released by the AidData project, in an event at the Center for Global Development. AidData collected these numbers over the past 18 months, from media reports. According to AidData, the Chinese have committed $75 billion in official development finance to Africa, 2000 to 2011. The main problem is that the teams that have been collecting the data and their supervisors simply don't know enough about China in Africa, or how to check Recherche avancée...
