“…The former help to group the agreements into thematic regimes. Conditionalities are not included in the agreements, and in general their absence in Brazilian practices of international cooperation is verified by empirical research based on agreements and interviews (Torronteguy 2010;Milani and Lopes 2014;Bergamaschi and Durán 2017;Dri and Silva 2019).…”

“…The projects also contain information on the demand for cooperation -which is considered the basis on which Brazil's SSC operates (Milani and Lopes 2014;Bergamaschi and Durán 2017). However, only nine of the 14 projects contain the information on the demand from the partner country 7 .…”

“…Proposing indicators for quantification is a political -not just a technical -exercise, as these indicators can undermine or leverage specific objectives (Fukuda-Parr and McNeill 2019). In this sense, many emerging cooperation providers avoid associating themselves with forms of evaluation implemented by traditional providers in the NSC, especially those promoted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (Bergamaschi and Durán 2017), among which are the quantification and monetization of cooperation (Rizzo, 2019). Thus, the proposal of the assessment here is that the quantification can be made through indicators based on categories that descend from a decolonial literature.…”

“…The SSC assessment could help to distinguish it from other development cooperation initiatives; promote its adaptive management, the recognition of its strengths and weaknesses, the transparency and social control; and increase its bases of support (BRICS Policy Center 2017) or credibility. Categories and indicators for this assessment have been object of debate among the new SSC providers (BRICS Policy Center 2017; Rizzo 2019), once they seek to differentiate themselves from the forms of evaluation of the traditional providers, although their practices also vary internally (Bergamaschi and Tickner 2017;Bergamaschi and Durán 2017). In this context, this paper seeks to assess the decolonial potential of structuring cooperation in health (SCH), a model of technical SSC established in Brazil and theorized by researchers from the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz).…”

“…In the empirical dimension, case studies of SSC and heuristics applicable to international agreements and interinstitutional SCH projects are analysed based on the same decolonial literature mentioned above. The analysis of heuristics is intended to promote critical engagement with SSC, verifying possibilities of empirical assessment that go beyond official discourses and theoretical proposals and access human interactions, which is a demand of the critical literature on SSC (Bergamaschi and Durán 2017). Also, in this same dimension are proposed categories in the interinstitutional projects that can be quantifiable.…”

The benefits of an empirical assessment of South-South cooperation (SSC) are currently being debated in the critical literature on this subject. This assessment could distinguish SSC practices from other cooperation practices and increase its transparency, social control, and credibility. In this sense, this paper theoretically assesses the dialogical/decolonial potential of structuring cooperation in health (SCH), a model of SSC created by Brazil; and analyses the applicability of different heuristics for international agreements and interinstitutional projects to empirically assess this potential. In theory, the SCH narrative is compatible with the decolonial literature mentioned in this paper. However, case studies from the fields of International Relations (IR) and Global Health diverge about this compatibility based on empirical observation. Nonetheless, heuristics from the field of International Law and Policy Transfer studies can help to recognize the decolonial potential inscribed in international agreements. In order to advance in the assessment of the dialogic character of SCH through projects, this paper argues that, institutionally, it is necessary to define the categories inscribed in them and make their monitoring and evaluation reports public. It concludes that the IR field needs to absorb the knowledge from the health sector and its technicians – something that does not occur in Latin America given the low interest in this sector.

PurposeThis paper intends to provide a thematic literature review of the scholarly research articles orbiting the Sino–African education cooperation and exchange, published between 2005 and 2022.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology used in this paper is qualitative in nature with a thematic approach. The author used content analysis techniques to spotlight the major themes of the topic studied. The author selected the papers and theses, based on their heuristic capacity, from two major databases for the English and Chinese literature: Web of Science and CNKI. The selection process resulted in 60 high-quality peer-reviewed articles and theses. Another 30 research articles and theses were used as supplementary resources.FindingsThe literature concentrates on six points: the historical development, the nature of the exchange, the frameworks of the cooperation, vocational training and knowledge transfer, African students in China and their experiences, and education cooperation and soft power. However, research tends to be somewhat polemical rather than an academic debate between Chinese researchers and their western peers. Therefore, empirical studies beyond the geopolitical preoccupations and the “YEA” or “NAY” to the Sino–African education exchange are critically needed.Practical implicationsThe implications of this study go beyond the east/west or developed/developing world rhetoric and focus more on sustainable educational development on a global scale. Understanding how the literature on the Sino–African education engagement is shaping, provides valuable insights into international education in the global south. It can also be implied to approach educational engagement with other destinations such as India, Türkiye and Brazil.Originality/valueThis thematic literature review concentrates on the educational aspect of Sino–African relations. It compares English and Chinese peer-reviewed scholarly articles and theses on China–Africa educational engagement and has heuristic implications for sustainable educational development globally.
