Staff comments

The Portuguese project title is Construção de Infra-Estruturas Integradas do Lar do Patriota, na Província de Luanda - Fase 1A. The Chinese project title is 爱国者市政项目. In the the database of Chinese loan commitments that SAIS-CARI released in July 2020, it identifies 3 CDB loans (worth $50 million, $24 million, and $25 million, respectively) between 2011 and 2012 for this project. However, it does not record the $59.2 million CDB loan that was contracted in 2013. AidData has not identified any official sources that corroborate the provision of CDB loans for this project between 2011 and 2012, so for the time being it only records the $59.2 million loan from CDB in 2013.
