The dataset captures 20,985 projects across 165 low- and middle-income countries supported by loans and grants from official sector institutions in China worth $1.34 trillion. It tracks projects over 22 commitment years (2000-2021) and provides details on the timing of project implementation over a 24-year period (2000-2023).

This dataset contains information about 100 loan contracts between Chinese state-owned entities and government borrowers in 24 developing countries in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Oceania between 2000 and 2020, with commitments totaling $36.6 billion.

AidData is a research lab at William & Mary. They equip policymakers and practitioners with better evidence to improve how sustainable development investments are targeted, monitored, and evaluated. They use rigorous methods, cutting-edge tools, and granular data to answer the question: who is doing what, where, for whom, and to what effect? They believe that the global community needs a stronger evidence base to find signal in the noise as they target sustainable development investments, coordinate efforts, and monitor progress towards the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Towards that end, their research agenda catalyzes innovation in data, methods, and tools to help partners through five program areas: (1) Tracking underreported financial flows from opaque public and private donors, lenders, and investors who publicly disclose little about their spending priorities and activities; (2) Geographic and demographic tracking and targeting of sustainable development investments to ensure no one is left behind; (3) Understanding the priorities and perspectives of leaders in low and middle income countries, and measuring the performance of external development partners with open-ended and close-ended feedback data; (4) Rigorously evaluating the impacts and cost effectiveness of specific interventions and large investment portfolios with spatial data; and (5) Creating high-resolution, high- frequency measures of development outcomes, powerful spatial data integration and extraction infrastructure, and next-generation geospatial analysis tools.

Two Excel files that fully replicate all figures and tables. Each file includes short ReadMe files to guide users: • “HowChinaLends_DataandResults” includes the raw data and derives all results and statistics that are presented in the paper and appendix. The data in this file is identical to the dataset posted on the AidData website (https://www.aiddata.org/data/how-china-lends-dataset-version-1-0). The source links are updated to direct users to our online repository. The ContractData sheet contains the full coding results for all 100 Chinese loan contracts and all 142 benchmark contracts from Cameroon. • HowChinaLends_ChartBook presents all tables and figures from the paper based on statistics derived from “HowChinaLends_DataandResults".
