Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On October 12, 2000, a contract was signed between China Guangdong International Corporation and the Tanzanian government for the construction of a water supply project in the city of Dodoma. The Chinese government granted 37.97 million RMB for the project as a result of the China-Africa Cooperation Forum. Before a project extension in 2002, the Tanzanian Deputy of finance stated "China has also extended over 3.3bn shillings for financing Dodoma water project", roughly equivalent to the 37.97 million CNY amount. Extension funding was granted in February 2002 (ETCA #30017), and an in-kind grant of materials was provided in 2008 (#32989). The initial project was officially completed on November 20, 2002, and was inaugurated by President Benjamin Mkapa on July 29, 2003.
