Staff comments

The French project title is Trois écoles primaires dans les régions rurales or Projet d'Ecole primaire de l'Amitié sino-africaine à Madagascar. The Chinese project title is 马达加斯加塔马塔夫小学项目. In May 2018, the Aid Coordination Permanent Secretariat of the Office of the Prime Minister in Madagascar extracted information on the Chinese Government-financed projects in its Aid Management Platform (AMP) and provided it to AidData. The data extraction identifies a grant from the Chinese Government for the Trois écoles primaires dans les régions rurales.
