Visitors who come to the village of Yoni , Sierra Leone, will be surprised by a brand new school built in the bush . The school was built with Chinese aid and Yoni is the birthplace of the President of Sierra Leone, Ernest Bai Koroma. Coincidence ? It's through this story and this question that researchers at the Institute of Economics Alfred-Weber Heidelberg University justified their investigation into whether Chinese aid truly based on the principle of non interference , as claimed by Beijing authorities. The researchers screened more than 2,000 Chinese development assistance projects made ​​between 2010 and 2012. " The most prominent political figures in beneficiary countries spend part of Chinese aid by financing projects of interest staff, which limits the effectiveness of aid , "said Axel Dreher , one of the authors of the study "Aid on Demand : African Leaders and the Geography of China's Foreign Assistance".
