Description
On April 7, 2014, the Chinese Government officially handed over a Well Drilling and Water Supply Equipment Project to the Government of Cape Verde when Chinese ambassador to Cape Verde, Su Jian, and Cape Verde's Minister for Rural Development, Eva Ortet, signed a handover certificate in Praia. This project involved the provision of rigs and drills and it was designed to collect water from the Cape Verdean countryside in order to increase water availability in Cape Verde's agriculture sector. The grant commitment that supported this project was reportedly worth $1.6 million.
