In the wake of the 21st century, China-Africa ties have been further cemented in both the political and economic spheres. Both Africa and China have been enthusiastic working toward a strategic and sustained partnership. Both sides have been working towards making their relationships a genuine South- South cooperation benefiting their long-term interests. While work of cementing this partnership is ongoing, the coming decades will be decades of more challenges and opportunities when seen from this perspective. Identifying the right path for a genuine South-South relationship and promoting effective communication and understanding around common interests is therefore an intellectual challenge in the relationships in the coming decades. Scholarship plays an indispensable role to strengthen the relationship. Actors in China need a better understanding of the needs, expectations and social psyche of Africans and identify the right approach to promote the long-term interests of China. By the same token Africa needs to clearly articulate its long term interests in its relationship with China and cautiously evaluate the alternative provided by China so that it can make an informed choice for the benefit of its people.

  • China's Involvement
    PARTNER COUNTRY SERIES Boosting the Power Sector in Sub-Saharan Africa China’s Involvement PARTNER COUNTRY SERIES Boosting the Power Sector in Sub-Saharan Africa China’s Involvement INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY The International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous agency, was established in November 1974. Its primary mandate was – and is – two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its member countries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply, and provide authoritative research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 29 member countries and beyond. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among its member countries, each of which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days of its net imports. The Agency’s aims include the following objectives: n Secure member countries’ access to reliable and ample supplies of all forms of energy; in particular, through maintaining effective emergency response capabilities in case of oil supply disruptions. n Promote sustainable energy policies that spur economic growth and environmental protection in a global context – particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions that contribute to climate change. n Improve transparency of international markets through collection and analysis of energy data. n Support global collaboration on energy technology to secure future energy supplies and mitigate their environmental impact, including through improved energy efficiency and development and deployment of

  • 2020 Annual Review of Procurement Activities Under the Procurement Policies and Rules
    2020 ANNUAL REVIEW OF PROCUREMENT ACTIVITIES UNDER THE PROCUREMENT POLICIES AND RULES Prepared by: The Procurement Policy and Advisory Department April 2021 i OFFICIAL USE 2020 Annual Review of Procurement Activities under the Procurement Policies and Rules Executive summary This report, prepared by the Procurement Policy and Advisory Department (PPAD), reviews public sector procurement contracts signed in 2020, funded and/or administered by the Bank, procured by the Bank’s clients and entered into the Contract Review and Award database before the date of generating this report (31 March 2021). A separate section (2.16) covers the procurement activities of the Nuclear Safety Department (NSD). In 2020, a total of 294 contracts (excluding NSD contracts) were signed by the Bank’s clients. The total value of these contracts amounted to € 2.176 billion, for which EBRD’s own financing represents € 1.359 billion. In comparison with 2019, this is a decrease in number of signed contracts (4 per cent) and also a decrease in the total contract value (12 per cent). Due to the fact that some client led donor funded consultancy contracts are still administered through a legacy IT system and therefore not entered into the Contract Review and Award system (CRA), 40 such contracts for a total value of € 29.1 million are not included in the overall statistics. The average contract value was € 7.4 million and the average EBRD financing was €4.6 million per contract. The largest contract placed was the Acquisition of rolling stock (37 (plus 8 optional) trains) for the Warsaw Metro Line II extension in Poland.
