For each newly emerging donor in Africa, there are different ways of dealing with the continent, different ways of spending aid and prioritizing the problems. At a political and security level, traditional actors are still the major actors in the continent, while economic and development aid is mostly dominated by the newly emerging non-traditional actors. Turkey as a non-traditional actor has been focusing on development aid and economy, but now it has interested in political affairs and state-building too. This has put Turkey in a middle position between traditional and non-traditional actors in the continent. Since 2011, Turkey is interested to be a more political actor in the continent than being merely an economic power or donor country. This certainly has repercussion for the continent and international actors for possible cooperation and coordination. The main focus of this article will be explaining and contextualizing Turkeyâs aid involvement in the continent as the main underlying elements of is interest to be a political power in the last few years.
