Staff comments

1. While the official sources do not explicitly name the financing agency, the nature of the donation (in-kind delivery of wheat and urea), the involvement of the Chinese Ambassador in the handover ceremony, and the lack of any mention of CIDCA suggest that the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China (MOFCOM) was the likely financier.
