Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In November 2018, China pledged to donate 30 garbage collection trucks worth USD$1.5 million to Sierra Leone as part of its commitment to help the country's development. On February 15, 2019, the Chinese Ambassador to Sierra Leone, Wu Peng, officially handed the trucks over to the Sierra Leonean government, represented by President Julius Maada Bio at State House in Freetown. Sinotruk International was responsible for providing the trucks in this project. According to the Sierra Leone Press, through an MOU signed the Government of the People's Republic of China will be responsible for the maintenance of the garbage collection trucks for two years. The Office of the President of Sierra Leone reports that the USD $1.5 million grant was made alongside another $1.5 million grant for the Lumley-Juba bridge (recorded in the linked Record ID#61568).
