On April 10, 2020, the Chinese Government and World Food Program (WFP) announced an agreement to jointly implement a food and nutrition assistance project for the Dominican Republic. The project was financed by CIDCA ('China Aid') with a $900,000 grant and was executed by the WFP, who plan on acquiring about 585 tons of food aid and distributing it to a total of about 70,500 people in nine provinces in the northwest and southwest parts of the Dominican Republic. The project was completed on May 19, 2021.

1. According to Source ID# 104431, this donation was announced in February 2020. Since reports for the actual allocation of the funds to the Dominican Republic were not reported until April, we have used April 10, 2020 as the commitment date. 2. The Chinese project title is 席对多米尼加粮援项目.
