Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On 28 July 2016, Chinese and Micronesian government officials signed a handover certificate for a $500,000 USD check from the Chinese government intended for emergency humanitarian activities in Micronesia. According to Congressional Resolution No. 19-259, these funds were used to "fight against natural disasters and deal with climate change." Micronesia's legislature passed a resolution approving of this aid on 1 August 2016. According to OCHA, in January 2016, El Nino descended on many parts of Micronesia causing moderate to severe drought due to lower than normal rainfall.
