- Alternative Abstract
- Poverty remains one of the most powerful canker worn challenging the world nowadays. Millions of people the World over continue to live in dying poverty situations notwithstanding the strong commitment by advanced countries to combating poverty. Those vulnerable to poverty lived in Africa and Sub Sahara Africa region remains the poorest region in the world. In the last two decades, poverty have been taken more seriously and given special attention in global framework such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and specific solutions design toward achieving a positive outcome. One of the key resource to solving poverty is via foreign aid. Over half a century, the two largest economies in the world (USA and China) have champion the course by playing a dominant role in the transfer of resources to Sub Sahara Africa. This research will show a comprehensive comparative study between the USA and China’s foreign aid system in Sub Sahara Africa and discern which system is more responsible for poverty reduction. This will be glaring following data presentation on aid and poverty reduction with focus on Angola. The timeframe of my work is from 2004-2007 and this is primarily justified by two reason. Firstly, USA and China’s foreign aid flow to Sub Sahara Africa double during this period. Secondly, it is also within this period that Chinese foreign aid in Africa mature to rival that of the west. Generally, in most of the literature analyzed, USA foreign aid system is characterized by bureaucracy, focusing on good governance and democracy and insistency on conditionality while seriously neglecting poverty reduction. On the other hand, data on China’s foreign aid have some negative connotations because it is backed by the extraction of natural resources, it was founded to focus on infrastructural development and present conclusive evident on poverty reduction due to the minimal development aid structure and the absence of conditionality to aid.
