Project narrative

In 2017, the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Republic of The Gambia signed an agreement regarding a donation of 2,568 tons of rice. The estimated monetary value of the donation is $1,024,811.76. The first consignment of rice (1,308 metric tons) was delivered to Banjul Port on June 30, 2017. The second consignment of rice (1,260 metric tons) was scheduled to arrive by the end of July 2017. Then, on October 10, 2017, the Chinese Government delivered 2,500 tons of rice to Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC) in 13 containers at a handover ceremony. The rice donation was officially handed over to KMC Mayor Yankuba Colley for onward distribution to needy Gambians. The monetary value of this donation is unknown.

Staff comments

To estimate the monetary value of the rice donation ($1,024,811.76), AidData takes the international price of a ton of rice in 2017 ($399.07) and multiplies it by 2,568 tons
