Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In March 2022, Tianjin Urban Construction Management Vocational and Technical College began working with Technological University of Tajikistan to develop a Luban workshop. The Chinese ambassador to Tajikistan visited the construction site on June 16, 2022. This was the first Luban workshop in central Asia. It opened in November 2022.

Staff comments

1. Luban Workshop (鲁班工坊) is a technical assistance program started by Tianjin's Vocational Institute in BRI countries. While it is an important Chinese foreign policy objective, the workshop is not funded through a specific fund or a government entity. Instead, it is heavily dependent on each project. While the Chinese government may directly fund some projects, Chinese SOEs or the specific vocational schools in Tianjin may fund others. As a result, AidData assumes an unspecified Chinese government agency has funded the project.
