Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In October and December 2007, the Chinese Government and the Government of Sudan signed letters of exchange related to a $1.4 million financial commitment to drill 10 wells in South Darfur. China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) reports that the project was complete by November 2008. On January 8, 2009, Chinese and Sudanese government officials held a completion ceremony at the Sudanese Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs. The Chinese entities responsible for funding and implementing this project are unknown. In addition to this project, 30 water wells were drilled in Darfur in 2010 (captured via Record ID#56529).

Staff comments

1. The Chinese project title is 援苏丹达尔富尔地区打井项目. 2. Given the small size of the financial commitment and the fact that it was issued by MOFCOM, AidData coded the flow type field as a grant rather than a loan.
