China Railway No.5 Engineering Group, a subsidiary company of China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) was the contractor responsible for project implementation.

Staff comments

A 2018 export from the Government of Tajikistan’s Aid Information Management System (AIMS) identifies the face value of the grant as $1,223,241 (see AIMS Record ID# TJK/112262) (see “May 2018 Flat Export from Tajikistan AIMS China Specific Projects”). This project is linked to Record ID#40406, which was an RMB 260 million grant for the construction of the tunnel in 2006. It also linked to a series of China Eximbank-financed road segments along the Dushanbe-Dangara section of the Dushanbe-Kulma highway (Record ID#40063, Record ID#53750, and Record ID#40440). The Russian title of this project is Ремонт подходных путей к тоннелю Озоди (Шар-Шар). The Chinese title of this project is 援塔吉克斯坦沙尔-沙尔隧道南北连接线修复项目. The Shar-Shar tunnel was renamed the Ozodi (in English: Liberty) tunnel in 2014 (see "Chormaghzak Tunnel renamed Khatlon Tunnel and Shar-Shar Tunnel renamed Ozodi Tunnel"). The provision year of the grant was assumed based on the start date of the project. Additionally, SIPPR's Chinese name translates to English as "Sixth Design and Research Institute of Machinery Industry Co., Ltd."
