Project narrative
On August 26, 2005, the Chinese Government and the Government of Saint Lucia signed an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement (ETCA) (Chinese agreement name: 中圣经济技术合作协定) in which the Chinese Government committed financing to Saint Lucia for unspecified purposes. The monetary value of this ETCA is unknown.
Staff comments
As ETCAs involve grants and interest-free loans, any financing from this project would be ODA-like. As this is an ETCA, which is a financing mechanism specific to China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), AidData has coded MOFCOM as the specific Chinese Government institution responsible for providing financing via this ETCA.
