What is both official and granular is Turkey's aid: the OECD's Creditor Reporting System holds 4,298 Turkish activities with an African recipient for 2018–2024, each with a country, a purpose code and a dollar figure, but with category labels for titles and no place names. Investment and lending exist only as country-by-year series: Turkish direct-investment stock by partner country, net aid by recipient, and what each African government owes Turkey. The works themselves exist only where a company or a lender describes them on its own pages, which, read one by one, give 73 placeable works.
Read together, the series say that Turkish money in Africa is grants in the tens of millions a year, one large investment stock (Algeria, 75% of the USD 2,574 m Turkish stock on the continent at the end of 2024), a few Eximbank buyer's credits to governments, and a contracting business that publishes totals rather than projects.
