Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On August 15, 2012, the Chinese Government launched a project to drill water wells in the Kator Payam (an administrative unit) in Juba Town/Municipality, South Sudan. The project, which is known as the Kator Well Water Supply Project (or 南苏丹打井供水项目), also involved the construction of a water supply plant with the capacity to pump 60,000 liters of clean water per day. An estimated 30,000 people in Juba Town will benefit from clean water through this project. The project was implemented by Tianjin Huakan Group, a Chinese state-owned enterprise, and it came to completion on December 10, 2012. These wells are reportedly part of a larger Chinese Government-financed initiative that involved the construction of 38 wells in Darfur, Sudan (recorded in #56529,#47218). This larger project was confirmed to be completed by the China White Paper on Foreign Aid, released on July 10, 2014.
