Description
On March 1st, 2005, the Chinese government gave a grant of VUV 203 million (grant no. 50446) to the Vanuatu Government to aid in the completion of the Vanuatu Agricultural College (also known as the "VAC" or "农学院项目"). The college began construction in 2004 and was handed over to the Vanuatu Government on March 4th, 2005. This grant was for finishing the college and repairs that were necessary after it was damaged by an earthquake in 2007. The VAC was officially opened on January 26th, 2007. The agricultural college has a construction area of 4,688 square meters. It includes a teaching complex, student dormitory, teacher dormitory, and student cafeteria, and can recruit 200 students at the same time. Its curriculum has been reviewed and taught by the National Training Board of Vanuatu. The emphasis is on training trainees on how to process raw crops into high value-added agricultural products. This project is linked to #37769 which is phase one of the construction and #63086 a donation of furniture to VAC.
