The proposed project seeks to support a site visit to Angola followed by a policy dialogue that will bring together Chinese and Southern African policymakers, academics, businesses, constructors and civil society actors, including community members to discuss China’s Africa development model of resources for infrastructure and its impact on local communities. The project will produce a series of brief research papers from a number of SADC countries which will foster debates and formulation of policy proposals to reshape trade and economic relations between China and southern Africa.
