Myth Busting? The Transparency of Chinese Aid

Join Publish What You Fund and Chatham House for the launch of the new paper ‘Transparency of Chinese Aid.’ In the first study of its kind, the paper explores the current levels of aid information made available by the Chinese government. With just three months remaining until the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, there is renewed focus on whether governments will meet their commitments to making their aid transparent. With transparency increasingly recognised as a central pillar of good aid, now is the time to begin this dialogue with the aid donors of the future.The panel will discuss the findings of the paper, and the opportunities for integrating Chinese aid information with that of other donors.The paper is co-published by Publish What You Fund and the Centre for Chinese Studies at Stellenbosch University.
