Africa: From 'How Could' to 'How Should' - the Possibility of Trilateral ...

Recently, there has been an increasing call from the West for a so-called 'trilateral cooperation', e.g., West-China-Africa cooperation. I was invited to several conferences, seminars or workshops on the issue, especially on aid, such as 'China's emerging global health and foreign aid engagement', held in Beijing (25 May), the international symposium 'Styles of foreign assistance' in Seoul (26-28 May) and China-DAC policy symposium on 'Economic transformation and poverty reduction: How it happened in China, helping it happen in Africa' in Beijing (8-9 June). All these workshops are focused on the aid issue. The High-level International Conference on 'Aid effectiveness' will be held in Korea in November 2011. There is a doubt on the traditional aid regime and a strong tendency of transforming 'aid effectiveness' to 'development effectiveness' among developing countries. During this important time, what does the trilateral cooperation indicate? How should China face this new situation? I would like to express my opinion in the case of the China-US-Africa cooperation.

In the workshop co-organised by CSIS-CIIS Conference on 'China's emerging global health and foreign aid engagement', I was assigned to write on the subject 'How should US and China launch the pilot project in Africa?' According to the subject-title itself, the presumption is that there is a possibility for US-China cooperation in assistance to Africa. However, to turn that possibility into reality needs a lot of work. The reason is simple: how could two parties discuss an important issue concerning the third party without the third's knowledge? How could the two parties carry out this kind of cooperation without the third party's participation at the very beginning? How could we start the cooperation without much understanding, let alone agreement, of each other's concept of the issue?

The conventional experience indicates that the starting point of cooperation is to understand each other first. What is the concept and principle of cooperation or aid? What is the history of cooperation or aid between one and the other? What are the forms of cooperation and aid? Only by knowing each other - and by acknowledging the difference and similarity of bilateral cooperation - can the trilateral cooperation be smoothly carried out and achieve a better result.

This article intends to provide some background knowledge of China-Africa medical cooperation. The argument is that only by settling the issue of 'how could' can we start to get down to the business of 'how should'. It is divided into five parts: concepts and principles of China-Africa relations; the history of China-Africa medical cooperation; forms of cooperation; key questions regarding trilateral cooperation; and the steps to launch the so-called 'pilot project'.

Get Your Free DAC Report | TruckersReport.com

As part of a pre-hiring procedure, nearly all large trucking companies will look at a trucker’s employment and driving record to see if there is any history of accidents, traffic violations, or other issues that might disqualify them from the job.  All of this information is collected into a database by a company called HireRight, which sells the information on individual drivers as a DAC Report.

DAC reports are regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which entitles truckers to receive a free copy every year of the information that has been collected on them.  HireRight is the company that maintains and distributes DAC records, and drivers can submit a request to receive their free report online here:

If you need assistance, you can also call HireRight’s customer service at 1-800-381-0645

Drivers will be required to provide the following information in order to receive their free DAC report:

Name

Address

Social Security #

Driver’s License #

Phone contact information

Though the request is submitted online, the report is not available digitally, and you will have to wait for the DAC to be delivered by US mail.  According to our members, it takes around 10-15 days from the day your request is submitted until the hard copy is delivered.

The data that HireRight collects on drivers is notorious for the wildly inaccurate information stated in some reports.  A frequent complaint is that accidents where the truck driver was judged no-fault end up on the report as 50% or 100% at fault for the truck driver.  Disgruntled dispatchers have been known to report that the driver abandoned their tractor or returned equipment damaged, even if the tractor was returned to the terminal in its original condition.  When you receive your report, check carefully for inaccuracies, and be sure to dispute false information.  HireRight has an obligation to remove incorrect data from your report, and you can learn how to dispute it yourself here, or hire a company that specializes in doing the same thing.
