Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On May 18, 2016, the Chinese and Malawi governments signed an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement (ETCA) for the provision of police vehicles to Malawi. This agreement granted 100 vehicles, including pick-ups, sedans, SUVs and buses, worth $4 million to the Malawi Police, according to the MOFCOM source. On December 11, 2017, the Chinese government handed over the vehicles to the Malawi Police Service. Donated vehicles include two buses, three lorries, 10 minibuses, 10 station wagons, 15 saloons and 60 pickups. On October 22, 2015, the Chinese government initially pledged to grant $2 million for the procurement of 100 police vehicles. However, the grant amount outlined in the Embassy article clearly states that $4 million was granted for the vehicles.
