Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On November 27, 2008, the Chinese government signed an agreement pledging US$500,000 worth of cholera vaccines and food aid to Zimbabwe. This donation was in response to an outbreak of cholera that killed around 400 Zimbabweans in the previous weeks. On December 23, 2008, the donation of vaccines was changed to USD $500,000 in cash intended for the Zimbabwean government to purchase the vaccines directly from suppliers after technical problems in the distribution and storage of the original vaccine donation. On this day, the donation was handed over to Zimbabwe at the Ministry of Health of Zimbabwe. The Government of China was represented by the Deputy Head of Mission in Zimbabwe, He Meng, and the Government of Zimbabwe was represented by the Minister of Health, David Parirenyatwa. This project is completed. This project is captured in UNOCHA Financial Tracking Services as Flow ID #61653.
