Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

Starting on April 20, 2012, Comoros experienced torrential rains causing flooding, landslides, and destruction. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Financial Tracking Service (flow ID #98437), in 2012, the Chinese government donated $200,000 USD to the Government of Comoros for disaster relief and early recover efforts. This donation is marked as fully paid. The financial commitment and disbursement dates are unknown. However, evidence of this donation first appears on page 4 of the UN's Flash Flood Situation Report #6, which summarizes flood relief activities in Comoros as of 25 May 2012.

Staff comments

UN OCHA flow ID #98437 records to commitment and disbursement date as 4 June 2012, however that is most likely based on the document titled "Cash and In-kind Contributions Received/Pledged to the United Nations System in the Union of Comoros As at 04 June 2012" attached to this project and not on the actual commitment/disbursement dates. Therefore, the start/end dates are based on when the floods began and when evidence of the donation first appeared.
