In April 2020, the city of Nanchang, China, donated 180,000 masks to the Swiss-Chinese Friendship Association, a foundation in Switzerland. This donation was part of a larger humanitarian assistance donation, which serviced parties like Skopje, North Macedonia, Ungen, Moldova, Lincoln, United Kingdom, Maribor, Slovenia, Graz, Austria, Gusin, Austria, Split, Croatia, and the Croatian-Chinese Friendship Association in Croatia. The recipients received 180,000 masks in each shipment. The donation is estimated to be worth $126,000 USD.
Staff comments
1. The estimated transaction value was determined using AidData's COVID Transaction Estimator. 180,000 masks * $0.7 USD per mask (April 2020 prices) = $126,000 USD. 2. The source identifies that this donation is underway in its implementation by the publication date, although it does not give a specific commitment/implementation date. AidData estimates the commitment and implementation date of 4/13/2020 (the publication date), although more information is necessary for a more accurate record.
