The China Africa Research Initiative published in July 2021 an analysis titled "Chinese Resource-Backed Infrastructure Financing Investments: Comparing Governance in Guinea and Ghana" by Qianrong Ding, Hayden Hubbard, Emily Larkin, and Dawalola Shonibare.
The study examines and compares governance issues in Ghana and Guinea and the social and environmental dilemmas linked to them. The analysis suggests that improving transparency, regulatory enforcement, and feedback mechanisms between local communities, firms, and government can ensure that mining investments through natural resource for infrastrucutre agreements are socially, economically, and environmentally sound.
