On May 14, 2012, the Chinese Government and the Government of Sierra Leone signed an exchange of letters, which committed grant funding for the construction of two primary schools in Masingbi and Makeni communities within the Northern Province. The monetary value of this grant commitment is unknown. In March 2016, the Chinese Ambassador inspected the two schools.
