China and India’s development cooperation in Africa: the rise of southern powers

Over 1000 development cooperation projects by China and India in Africa using AidData were collected and analysed to understand the motives behind their development cooperation. The author proposes that neither China nor India were solely motivated by one causal factor, whether strategic, economic or humanitarian interests or the size of their diaspora in Africa.
