Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On September 29, 2011 and February 19, 2012, China and the Sudan governments signed a letter of exchange regarding the solar energy demonstration project in Sudan (援苏太阳能示范项目). At the request of the Sudan government, the Chinese government agreed to assist in the construction of a solar street lamp project in the Friendship Hall of Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. From June 2 to June 10 in 2011, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce sent a group to conduct a feasibility study on the Solar Energy Demonstration Project, which involved building a set of solar streetlights for the Sudan Friendship Hall in Khartoum. This project is one of eight initiatives proposed during the Fourth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation to assist African countries in small-scale clean energy projects. The value or amount of solar lights is unknown.
