Project narrative
In late April 2020, the government of the city of Xi'an donated 20,000 masks and 500 protective suits to the town of Arosa, Graubünden, Switzerland. The donation was made in response to Aroba's shortage of personal protective equipment in late March.
Staff comments
1. The estimated transaction amount was determined using AidData's COVID Transaction Estimator. 20,000 masks * $0.7 USD per mask (April 2020 price) + 500 protective clothes * $0.8 USD per clothes (April 2020 price) = $14,400 USD. 2. The commitment date reflects the organization of the donation in late March 2020. AidData estimates 3/15/2020 as the earliest possible commitment date within the confines of the source. 3. The implementation date reflects the organization of the donation in late April 2020. AidData estimates 4/15/2020 as the earliest possible implementation date within the confines of the source.
