Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On the morning of January 29, 2004, the Chinese Government and the Government of Guinea-Bissau signed an exchange of notes, in which the Chinese Government agreed to donate electric generators and water pumps to Ex-Combatant Housing Construction Project. In 2003, after the completion of the Ex-Combatant Housing Construction Project (captured in Record ID#57021) in the Antula-Bono neighborhood, the 134 housing units still lacked electric generators and water pumps. The Chinese Government agreed to build power generation facilities and dig water wells for the housing complex. China Jiangsu International Economic Technical Cooperation Corporation was the contractor responsible for implementation. As of February 2006, the construction team arrived in Guinea-Bissau to start the preliminary preparation work, and it was originally expected that the project would be completed in 8 months (October 2006). On May 25, 2006, construction began. The project was completed on November 20, 2006.
