Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2016, China provided South Sudan with emergency rice and wheat provisions to help the nation recover from the effects of the El Nino weather pattern. The project is complete, but its cost is unknown. This is linked to umbrella Record ID#52624, a $60 billion pledge made by Chinese President Xi Jinping on December 4th, 2015.

Staff comments

This is part of Record ID#52624, an umbrella project capturing the 1 billion yuan total in aid provided for El Nino relief in Africa in December 2015.
