Description
In August 2011, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce signed two aid agreements with the Government of Rwanda to boost trade. One was a 50 million RMB grant (see Project #2022) and the second was a 50 million RMB interest-free loan. It is unclear how this money was spent.
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.
