Description

In 2013, the Chinese government gave Bolivia $4.5 million for the purchase and installation of 500 surveillance cameras to four cities in the Bolivian project, Video Monitoring System and Electronic Surveillance. The project is in its first phase with 500 cameras to go out to the cities of La Paz (130), El Alto (120), Cochabamba (120) and Santa Cruz (130), with the aim to reduce crime rates and to improve the living conditions of the citizens through the implementation of technology. To this end, China will invest in software, machinery and equipment adding up to $4,033,508 and $466,492 in costs of ancillary services. Overall, the Video Monitoring System and Electronic Surveillance project requires an investment of $7 million. Mayors and governors of the areas in which the cameras will be installed financed the remaining $2.5 million for complementary operating expenses and the construction of the requisite "Command and Monitoring Center." In February 2013, the 130 cameras for Santa Cruz began to be installed, with the Command and Monitoring Center for the city inaugurated on February 18. At that point, about 40 of the cameras had already been installed by Huawei Bolivia.
