Description
On July 12, 2010, a Chinese government official signed two economic and technical cooperation agreements (ETCA) with a total value of 960 million Ksh. This amount is split equally in the form of interest-free loans and grants. This project captures the ETCA interest-free loan agreement equal to 480 million Ksh for unspecified development projects. The sub-projects are unknown. ETCA #44545 captures the grant portion equal to 480 million Ksh.
Additional details
Since loan terms for the interest-free loan are unavailable, AidData has set maturity period to 20 years by default and grace period to 10 years by default per China's Foreign Assistance White Paper (http://www.cidca.gov.cn/2018-08/06/c_129925064_3.htm) which states that the maturity period of interest-free loans is 20 years, with a drawdown period of 5 years, grace period of 5 years, and repayment over 10 years. AidData treats the drawdown period as providing 5 years of additional grace.
