CHINA and AFRICA: BUILDING NEW CAPACITY IN

THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

NEW SILK ROAD

FROM BERBERA to DURBAN AGENDA OF TALK

1. Geopolitics and Chinese strategy in a different world. China’s interests go beyond resource supply and China is learning geopolitics which are more than defensive. China’s foreign policy is now just an early draft and can be influenced by creative responses from countries like Canada.

2. The East African coastline is being transformed “from Berbera to Durban” and creates a new political architecture.

3. Canadians play a key role in global infrastructure finance which is often underappreciated and underanalysed as part of a Canadian strategy.

4. China in Africa will produce new organizational models, different approaches to economic development and to social infrastructure. The dynamic between China and Africa will be one of the key design features of the 21st Century and Africa will have new “capacities” as a result.

AFRICAN INFRASTRUCTURE

New York-based Blackstone, in conjunction with the Dangote Group of Nigeria, announced at the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit that it would jointly invest up to $5 billion over the next five years in energy projects across sub-Saharan Africa with a particular emphasis on power generation, transmission and pipelines.

Meanwhile, Africa's largest hydropower project, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (formerly the Grand Millennium Dam) on the Ethiopia-Sudan border, is set to begin producing first power on the Blue Nile before the end of the decade. That project, with a nearly $5 billion price tag, is being financed entirely by the Ethiopian government with help from several Chinese state banks.

CAPACITY-BUILDING in a world after THE RISE OF CHINA

New sources of capacity include MEDICINES SANS FRONTIERES, CLINTON FOUNDATION, BILL and MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION.

The rise (again) of multinational corporations because they have skills and logistics for economic development.

The invention of new players (infrastructure projects create new economic organizations)

The design of new players investing in economic growth e.g. VC4Africa
