Staff comments

1. AidData has coded the commitment date based on the signing of various unspecified documents at the handover ceremony on May 19, 2022 as a proxy (http://www.focac.org/eng/zfgx_4/rwjl/202205/t20220523_10690992.htm). 2. Some sources indicate that the handover occurred some time after the documents were signed on May 19, 2022. AidData has chosen to code the implementation and completion dates based on the greater quantity of official sources indicating that the handover occurred on May 19, 2022.
