| Title | What Do You Mean By Development Aid? Identifying Western And Chinese Development Assistance In Ghana |
| Summary | This thesis aims to investigate the differences between the Chinese and OECD definition and how development cooperation discourse is expressed in Ghana. The results indicate that there is a clear divergence between the aid architecture and the discourse surrounding the support in Ghana. China frames its aid in Ghana as a partnership within the framework of South-South cooperation, emphasising keywords such as “partnership”, “friendship”, and “shared future”. In contrast, the DAC donors describe their aid to Ghana using different rationales and keywords. The US emphasises the humanitarian aspects of development aid, utilising keywords such as “women”, “fisheries”, and “health”, whilst Germany focuses on development sustainability with keywords such as “energy”, “environment”, and “training”. This analysis ultimately contributes to the literature on donor preferences and aid conditionality. |
