Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In the March 2013 infrastructure deals signed by China and Tanzania, the two governments exchanged letters on the provision of a set of shipping container inspection equipment to be given to the Port of Zanzibar (also known as the port of Malindi). On September 9, 2013, Tanzania's Minister of Finance, Mr. Omar Sang, and a representative of the Chinese government signed off on the final exchange. As of September 9, 2013, one scanner worth $3.6 million USD was handed over to Zanzibar authorities.
