Additional details

The intent_field was coded as Mixed intent because this donation featured both development intent (computer equipment, office supplies) and representational intent (Chinese cultural books). The fact that the donation was described as an important achievement of Nigerien Minister of Cultural Renaissance Assoumane Mallam Issa's September 2017 visit to China implies that an agreement was struck or a pledge made regarding this donation.
