Staff comments

1. Yunnan Provincial People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries is the Yunnan branch of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC). Although CPAFFC’s charter identifies it as an NGO, the provincial branches of the organization are set within the provincial governments. As such, AidData classifies funding provided by provincial branches of CPAFFC as official.
