South African scholar Martyn Davies produced a useful study for OECD titled "How China Is Influencing Africa's Development" (PDF) published in April 2010.

It deals with three questions:
  1. What contribution is China making to African industrialization?
  2. Does China's model for concessional financing offer a new model for wider use?
  3. Will China's investment in infrastructure assist regional integration in Africa?
