Description

Since 2001, China has rapidly increased its economic engagement with sub-Saharan African countries. The U.S. has increased aid to sub-Saharan Africa and in 2010 provided more than a quarter of all U.S. international economic assistance to the region. According to some observers, Chinaäó»s foreign assistance and investments in Africa have been driven in part by the desire for natural resources and stronger diplomatic relations. Some U.S. officials and other stakeholders also have questioned whether Chinaäó»s activities affect U.S. interests in the region. This report reviewed the nature of the U.S.äó»s and Chinaäó»s engagement in sub-Saharan Africa. It examines (1) goals and policies in sub-Saharan Africa; (2) trade, grants and loans, and investment activities in the region; and (3) engagement in three case-study countries -- Angola, Ghana, and Kenya. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
