Chinese Government provides RMB 7 million grant — via ETCA — for provision of 1,500 computers to Moldovan schools (Linked to Project ID#66443)

In June 2007, the Chinese Government and the Government of Moldova signed an economic and technical cooperation agreement (ETCA), which committed RMB 10 million of grant funding for two purposes: RMB 7 million for the acquisition of 1,500 computers for student hostels (captures in Project ID#73190) in 2012, and RMB 3 million (EUR 600,000) for the provision of respiratory ventilators (captured in Project ID#66443). According to the Government of Moldova’s External Assistance Management Platform (PGAE), the implementation of the computer equipment project (PGAE ID# idea_3020) commenced on November 21, 2012 and ended on September 21, 2013. The PGAE also indicates that the Chinese Government committed and disbursed EUR 984,110 in total for this project. The PGAE also indicates that the grant was fully disbursed by November 21, 2013.

Additional details

The Romanian project title is PROCURAREA DE CALCULATOARE IN CAMINELE STUDENTESTI. We cannot rule out the possibility that this project is a duplicate of Project ID#42500 (a donation of 1,200 computers and 200 printers). However, we assume that they are separate for the time being because Project ID#73190 was reportedly completed on September 21, 2013, and Project ID#42500 involved the provision of computers in November 2013 and December 2013.
