Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On March 2, 2005 the Mozambican Interior Ministry received a donation from China, valued at three million US dollars, intended to boost the capacity of the police force. The donation included 300 motorbikes, 500 helmets, bullet- proof jackets, and masks for the riot police, 100 large tents, with a capacity ranging from 36 to 100 people, 5,000 police uniforms, 6,000 torches for the traffic police, 25 computers, 15 fax machines, and even equipment for the police band. The donation results from an agreement on economic and technical cooperation signed between the two countries in Beijing in April 2004. The donation was gifted at a handover ceremony in Maputo. The handover certificates were signed by Minister José Pacheco and Ambassador Hong Hong.
