The UN Development Program published on 17 December 2015 a major report titled "If Africa Builds Nests, Will the Birds Come? Comparative Study on Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Africa and China."
The study seeks to answer three questions: How have Africa and China performed so far with SEZs? How could Africa benefit from China's experience with SEZs? How could China-Africa cooperation on SEZs be enhanced in the future. The report considers SEZs in Ethiopia, Nigeria, Zambia, Shenzhen, and Suzhou.
The report is also available in Chinese.

China's Special Economic Zones in Africa
The Centre for Chinese Studies at Stellenbosch University published in February 2013 a study titled "Chinese-led SEZs in Africa: Are They a Driving Force of China's Soft Power?" The author is Yejoo Kim, a research analyst at the Centre for Chinese Studies.
The paper focuses on the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) as a possible expansion of China's soft power in Africa. It notes that most of the SEZs are still under construction and have not yet started operations. The study also identifies a number of labor issues that may confront the companies that participate in the SEZs.
