Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On August 26, 2006, the Chinese Government and the Government of Macedonia signed an exchange of letters, which committed $2.5 million of grant funding for the provision of computers and other IT equipment to schools and educational facilities in Macedonia. The grant proceeds were drawn from an economic and technical cooperation agreement (ETCA) that the parties signed on September 10, 2004. Then, on December 5, 2007, China’s Minister of Education and the Deputy Prime Minister of Macedonia signed an agreement called 《中华人民共和国教育部和马其顿共和国教育和科学部教育合作协议》(translated: a cooperation agreement between the Ministry of Education of China and the Ministry of Education and Science of FYR Macedonia), which appears to be related to the August 26, 2006 agreement.
