Bistånd och Relationer

Sammanfattning: The members of the OECD have agreed on giving aid assistance to developing countries in a way of promoting their own capacity of handling the challenge of poverty and development. The members also cooperate and coordinate their aid to recipient countries in the purpose of giving as effective assistance as possible. The aid from these countries is often intended to human rights, democracy and has a humanitarian idea. This is the way from the OECD countries. The Chinese way of giving aid mostly aimed at the industry of the recipient to promote the economic growth to lift the country out of poverty. The Chinese way do not aim or intend their aid at promoting human rights or democracy, often just industry and infrastructure. This study compares the two aid approaches, illustrates them in Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo and seeks to explain what kind of relation the different types of aid giving create between recipients and donors.
