Project narrative

On 10 January, 2003, the Chinese Government donated 4,500 tonnes of yellow maize to the Government of Zimbabwe. The purpose of the donation — valued at USD $500,000 — was to help those affected by drought. The donation was officially handed over from China’s Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Hou Qingru, to Zimbabwe’s Minister of Lands, Agriculture, and Rural Resettlement, Commander Joseph Made. This project is completed. In 2006, the Chinese Government donated an additional 3,000 tonnes of maize to those in drought stricken regions of Zimbabwe, which is recorded in the linked Record ID#18334..
