Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On August 16, 2019, a handover ceremony was held for China's donation of ETB 4 million worth of 136 items of agricultural equipment and materials to Ethiopia. The Chinese Agency for International Assistance (CHINAAID) provided the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture with agricultural technology and assistance in hopes of improving Ethiopia's agricultural development capabilities, which will hopefully reduce their hunger and poverty levels. During the ceremony, representatives of both governments signed a "Certificate of Handover of Agricultural Equipment and Materials for Ethiopia in the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia." The exact materials donated is unclear, however according to CGTN the donated materials included tractors, sowing and soil-tilling machines, rice and wheat thresher machines, cottonseed removing machine and generators.
