Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

According to email correspondence between AidData’s Executive Director and the Director General of the Office of the Secretary of State for Planning and Regional Integration in Guinea-Bissau, the Chinese Government provided a grant worth $2,965,040 to the Government of Guinea-Bissau for the Center for Applied Fisheries Research (CIPA) Construction Project. China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) was the funding source. CIPA is a public scientific establishment in charge of assessment and monitoring of fishery stocks at the national level. It also guarantees the phytosanitary control of fishery products for sale and export.

Staff comments

The Chinese name for CIPA is 几内亚比绍渔业应用研究中心 and Portuguese is Centro de Investigação Pesqueira Aplicada. The Portuguese project title is Construção de Centro de Investigação Pesqueira Aplicada (CIPA). The Chinese project title is 渔业应用研究中心实验室. The grant commitment year is unknown. However, in April 2015, Guinea-Bissau’s State Secretariat for Fisheries and Marine Economy obtained grant funding from MOFCOM to outfit CIPA with equipment (See: Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China).As such, for the time being, AidData codes the grant commitment year as 2015.
