Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2016, China Merchants Charitable Foundation launched the China Merchants C-Blue Training Program. It is sponsored by China Merchants Group (CMG) and hosted by its subsidiary China Merchants Port (CMPort). On September 29, 2016, the first batch of 30 participants attended the completion ceremony of their program. The trainees are from Sri Lanka, Djibouti, Togo, Tanzania, Ethiopia, South Africa and Kenya. The purpose of the C-Blue Training Program is to connect Chinese practitioners in the global port and shipping industry to up-and-coming practitioners from developing countries. The one-month program includes visits to Chinese institutions, lectures on maritime and trade, and field trips to various terminals. According to an April 2021 article, 188 people from 21 different countries had participated in the C-Blue Training Program over the past five years.
