提供紧急人道主义援助。中国一贯本着人道主义精神，向遭受政治动荡和自然灾害的非洲国家及时提供力所能及的物资或现汇紧急援助。2011年，中国向突尼斯、埃及两国政府提供共计5000万元人民币的紧急人道主义援助，以缓解两国与利比亚边境地区滞留难民带来的人道主义危机。在2011年非洲之角遭遇60年罕见饥荒之时，中国向有关非洲国家提供紧急粮援和现汇，总额超过4亿元人民币，成为新中国成立以来中国政府对外提供的最大一笔粮食援助。2012年，中国向萨赫勒地区有关国家提供了粮食援助。

    　支持人文交流。人文交流是中非新型战略伙伴关系的重要支柱。中国致力于通过支持非洲青年来华留学、派遣青年志愿者、开展联合研究等方式，增进中非人民之间的相互了解和认知，不断巩固中非友好的社会基础。2010—2012年，中方向非洲国家提供各类政府奖学金名额共计18743个。截至2012年底，中国已向埃塞俄比亚、津巴布韦等16个非洲国家派遣408名青年志愿者。20对中非知名高校在“中非高校20＋20合作计划”框架下结为“一对一”合作关系。“中非联合研究交流计划”自2010年3月启动以来，已支持中非学者开展研讨会、课题研究、学术交流、著作出版等各类项目64个，资助中非学者600多人次访问交流。

Offering emergency humanitarian aid. In keeping with humanitarian values, China always offers what materials or cash it is able to give for emergency aid to African countries that suffer from political disorder or have experienced natural disasters. In 2011, China provided 50 million yuan in emergency aid to Tunisia and Egypt to ease the humanitarian crisis caused by refugees stranded in the areas bordering Libya. When a famine worst in 60 years broke out in the Horn of Africa in the same year, China provided the affected countries with emergency aid in the form of grain and cash. In total, this aid was worth more than 400 million yuan, the biggest amount of food aid that the Chinese government has provided since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. In 2012, China granted food aid to affected countries in the Sahel region of Africa.

Supporting cultural and educational exchanges. Cultural and educational exchanges make up an important part of the new type of strategic partnership between China and Africa. By supporting young Africans studying in China, sending young Chinese volunteers to Africa and developing joint research initiatives, China tries to promote mutual understanding between China and African countries and strengthen the social foundation of their friendship. From 2010 to 2012, China granted 18,743 government scholarships to students from African countries. By the end of 2012, China had sent 408 young volunteers to 16 African countries, including Ethiopia and Zimbabwe. Twenty pairs of leading Chinese and African universities have begun cooperating under the 20+20 Cooperation Plan for Chinese and African Universities. From the launch of China-Africa Joint Research and Exchange Plan in March 2010 to the end of 2012, it had supported 64 projects in the form of workshops, subject research, academic exchanges, and publishing works. The project had also subsidized visits and exchanges for over 600 Chinese and African scholars.
