Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On October 27 and November 24, 2000, the governments of China and Ecuador signed and countersigned Letters of Exchange that committed a grant of vehicles worth 513,000 USD to the Ministry of Foreign Relations of Ecuador. The grant was financed through an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement (ETCA) that was signed August 30, 1999. The handover certificate was signed on July 11, 2001. More specifically, the grant included 10 CA7202 New Small Red Flag sedans; 3 vans with 11 seats, model CA6440G; 9 boxes of spare parts for the sedans; and 11 boxes of spare parts for the vans. Additionally, the Letters of Exchange indicated that the Chinese government would send a team of three technicians to Ecuador to help with installation and readjustment of the vehicles, for a period of ten days. The vehicles' use by the Ministry is unknown.

Staff comments

Although this grant is funded by a 1999 ETCA, project has been created because Letters of Exchange were signed in, and thus the commitment year is, 2000. The Letters of Exchange potentially provides the project cost in RMB, but the amount in USD has been used because (1) it is unclear if the Letters of Exchange are referencing the entire ETCA grant, or if it means the entire ETCA amount of 10 million RMB is being used for this project and (2) the value of the equipment in USD is from the more recent source (the handover certificate), and this source also includes additional granted material that is slightly different from what was outlined in the Letters of Exchange.
